A wedding is an event for which it is customary to devote neither effort, time nor money to its preparation. And world celebrities agree with it 100%. They invite hundreds of guests to the celebration, put on reality shows and do not forget to change a few looks in one evening.
Of course, there are those who adhere to a more modest approach to business, but today it is not about that. In the middle of the wedding season, we decided to take a look at the obscenely expensive celebrity dresses.
And to make sure that they are indeed obscenely expensive, we immediately note that the $ 100,000 images of Victoria Beckham, Jessica Biel and Melania Trump are not included in this rating. However, Kim Kardashian and the royal family managed to succeed.
Serena Williams
Price: 3.5 million dollars (about 210 million rubles)
The wedding dress for the most famous tennis player was created by Alexander McQueen’s creative director Sarah Burton, and Anna Wintour herself helped with the selection. So it’s no surprise that the image cost Serena Williams $3.5 million.
Elizabeth the Second
Price: 1.6 million dollars (about 130 million rubles)
Elizabeth II married in 1947. Then her dress cost 42 thousand liras and was considered the most expensive in history. Now the wedding image of the queen is estimated at $ 1.6 million. The pearl-embroidered dress was created from Chinese silk by beloved royal designer Norman Hartnell, and the main highlight was a long lace tail.
Victoria Swarovski
Price: 1 million dollars (about 80 million rubles)
Judging by the name of this girl, it is easy to guess that she is the heir to the Swarovski empire. It is therefore not surprising that Victoria Swarovski’s wedding dress was embroidered with 500,000 stones and weighed 46 kilograms per minute.
Kim Kardashian
Price: 500 thousand dollars (about 40 million rubles)
Another very expensive wedding photo that the world saw at the wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in 2014. The author of the lace dress with a long tail was a friend of the couple – designer Ricardo Tisci, who at that time was the creative director of Givenchy.
Kate Middleton
Price: 434 thousand dollars (about 34 million rubles)
Kate Middleton entrusted the creation of the wedding dress to Sarah Burton and the British brand Alexander McQueen. She and she made the right decision, because the designer was able to combine the traditions of the royal family with current trends and give a certain meaning to every detail of the dress. For example, thistle, rose, clover leaf and narcissus, which are considered the symbols of Great Britain, are embroidered on the arms. And Sarah sewed a blue thread into the hem of her skirt, because according to tradition, the bride’s outfit should have something blue. All the details of the dress, of course, were created by hand, and tailors and embroiderers had to wash their hands every half hour.
Salma Hayek
Price: 434 thousand dollars (about 34 million rubles)
Salma Hayek also spared no expense for her wedding look. She married billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault in a luxurious Balenciaga gown by Nicolas Ghesquière, who was then the creative director of the brand. The designer relied on a bodice and balloon skirt embroidered with rhinestones, invented by Cristobal Balenciaga himself in the 1950s. By the way, the wedding was very intimate, so there are almost no photos. Or Salma doesn’t share it with us.
Meghan Markle
Price: 422 thousand dollars (about 33 million rubles)
Meghan Markle is not far behind Kate Middleton. At least in the wedding dress selection. The image of the Duchess of Sussex cost the royal family $422,000. The author of an elegant and very modest outfit was the creative director of the Givenchy fashion house Claire Waight Keller. By the way, the bride’s veil deserves special attention. Handcrafted with 55 flower species, 53 of which are unique plants of each of the Commonwealth countries.
