first off, she didn't pay a cent for it, obviously. second, its worth 50,000 because its COUTURE. it was made for her, all beads and lace applied by hand. that takes days and days of work. everything is intricately done. i costs 50,000 the same reason designer jeans cost more than ones from the local dump-its the tailoring and the details...I don't mean to go off, sorry if it came off as hostile or anything. I just have an appreciation for well made things.

i know she didn't pay a cent for the dress nor for the jewelry. and hand made and intricately done just for her or not there must be something on that dress worth a lot of money not just beads and lace and handwork. i would understand 15.000 probably even 25.000 if it was "only" that but not over 50.000.
tailoring like that should be worth a lot of money but 50.000 just seems very very very much

50 000 for some seaweed?

She always overdoes it. She looks better when she isn't trying to look that good.

Whoa lady....this whole get-up is much too much. The dress might be well and intricately made, but couture or not....it's ugly. Put a pair of fangs in this girl's mouth and she's Dracula's playmate.
