The Academy Awards (AKA The Oscars) are probably the most prestigious, well-anticipated awards of the year- in Hollywood anyway. If you’re anyone in the acting world, you’ll get an invite to the event or even have the honour of receiving a nomination to be in for a chance to bag one of those infamous gold figures…
It’s an iconic night, so stars are out to impress- there’s no holding back on the style front or on the dollars front. The men pull up to the red carpet in the most tailored, suave suits they can muster- finished off with a bow tie (a tie just doesn’t cut it for this night). The ladies strut their stuff in the most show stopping numbers they (their stylists) can find. You know how the saying goes: you get what you pay for, and some of these ladies have taken that and RAN with it, to ensure all eyes are firmly on them.
Here’s a countdown of the most expensive gowns that celebs have worn to capture attention on the red carpet over the 91 years the academy Awards have been around…
Jennifer Jason Leigh- $25k
Kicking the list off is this lavish pink gown by Marchesa, with an even plush price tag of $25k. I mean, it’s a decent dress, fits well and does the job- but 25k?
The actress rocked it at the 2016 Oscars when she was up for a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Daisy Domergue in The Hateful Eight. It was the actresses first nomination, an achievement to be prized by any actor. She might not have gone on to take home the trophy, but the nomination certainly got her the recognition she deserves.
Below we have the Mean Girls star Rachel McAdams rocking a stunning emerald green satin gown by August Letty Atelier. That is definitely her colour and it undoubtedly flatters her figure with that high neckline and deep split. But, $30k, really?!
