Kate Middleton, 2011 Cost: £250,000

Duchess Kate’s stunning wedding dress was completely custom-made by Alexander McQueen’s head designer Sarah Burton and featured lace made by the Royal School of Needlework.

Amal Clooney, 2015 Cost: $380,000

Amal’s custom Oscar de la Renta wedding dress cost a staggering $380,000 – but when you take into account the price tag of the whole wedding (including flying half of Hollywood to Venice for the weekend) we’re guessing it was all relative Want a look alike?

Marilyn Monroe, 1955 Cost: $4.6million

Sometimes, it’s after the occasion that a dress’ value can really amp up. When Hollywood costume designer Debbie Reynolds put her 600 piece prop collection up for auction in 2011, the top seller was Marilyn’s ‘subway dress’ first spotted in the 1955 movie The Seven Year Itch. Re-sale value? $4.6million. Want a look alike? Size custom Price: $2269 Includes complimentary worldwide shipping. Contact concierge at sales@slaynetwork.co.uk or Skype slaynetwork to get it
Princess Diana, 1985 Cost: £100,000

Princess Diana wore this Victor Edelstein gown in 1985 when she danced at the White House Dinner with actor John Travolta, earning the frock the nickname, ‘The Travolta Dress.’ Before she died in 1997 she auctioned the dress off for charity, where a businesswoman bought it for £100,000, making it the most expensive dress ever sold at auction at that time. It was later sold again in 2011 for £240,000 dresses, proving that it is totally worth investing in these things. Want a look alike?

Charlize Theron, 2013 Cost: Around $100K

Anne Hathaway, 2011 Cost: $80,000

This was the year Anne Hathaway and James Franco did a cringe-tastic job of hosting the Academy Awards.

Or, the Tiffany & Co. ‘Lucinda’ necklace she accessorised it with that cost a staggering ten million dollars. Want a look alike? Size custom Price: $7950 Includes complimentary worldwide shipping.
