2014: Cate Blanchett
When it comes to walking the Oscars red carpet, Cate Blanchett likes to go big. The actress has sported several expensive looks throughout the years, but nothing can compare to her 2014 ensemble.
The nude bedazzled Armani Prive gown is a legitimate show stopper, so fashion experts took the time to dissect the overall cost of the iconic look. As expected, the whole outfit cost a fortune—$18 million, to be exact! You read that right. Blanchett’s 2014 Oscar look cost enough money to buy a mansion at the heart of Beverly Hills. While the dress was worth a whopping $100,000, it was actually the jewels that bumped the price to millions. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress wore a Chopard diamond and opal jewelry set, priced around $18 million. Fortunately, Blanchett has the net worth and credit score to afford these types of fashion pieces.
