I love award season for many reasons, but seeing the wild and wonderful outfits that are on the carpet has to be a top fave for me.
So, I went ahead and compiled some of the most expensive celebrity red carpet looks since the ’90s – so we can all gaze at how the other half lives as award season kicks off.
It’s important to note, however, that most of the time these celebs don’t buy the jewelry or outfits that they wear – they’re likely on loan from the brand.
So, without further ado, here are 17 celebrity red carpet looks that remind me that I’ll probably never be a homeowner.
Madonna at the 1991 Oscars – $20 Million
Gloria Stuart at the 1998 Oscars – $20 Million
Nicole Kidman at the 2008 Oscars – $7 Million
Anne Hathaway at the 2011 Oscars – $10 Million
Carrie Underwood at the 2013 Grammys – $31 Million
Jennifer Lawrence at the 2013 Oscars – $3.5 Million
