THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE




1. As expected, a third world country reveals the most glamorous dress in the world. Not Russia (known for it’s extravagant gaudines) or Italy or Greece, but Malaysia. This is why one must never underestimate and entire country when it comes to fashion.



Malaysian designer Faisol Abdullah has created what could be the world’s most expensive dress. Valued at $30 million, the masterpiece by Abdullah is adorned with 751 premium diamonds weighing over 1,000 carats all intricately crafted by the renowned Middle Eastern jeweler, Robert Mouawad. Incidentally, Mouawad diamonds are the darlings of Tinsel Town divas like Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman. Mouawad’s pear-shaped 70-carat diamond sets the focus for the maroon tafetta silk evening gown that also features a majestic 6-metre train.

2.Women's lingerie can be pricey. This one might be ridiculously high. The Suns reported that the world's most expensive bra was displayed on the Victoria's Secret fashion show 2008. The bra worn by Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima on the fashion show is priced at $5 million, which contains 3,575 black diamonds, 117 certified one-carat round diamonds and 34 rubies, adorned with nearly 3,900 stunning gems. Who is going to buy this extremely expensive bra? Why do the Victoria's Secret designers create such crazy stuff? Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima wears the most expensive bra on the fashion show

3. These Cinderella Slippers by Stuart Weizman are the world's most expensive and cost $2,000,000 dollars. They have a four and a half inch stiletto heel and are set with 595 carats of platinum set diamonds. These were worn by singer Alison Krauss.

























These Ruby Slippers by Stuart Weitzman are based on the ruby slippers worn by Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, but you can bet that her slippers didn't cost a cool $1.8 million. These slippers are studded with 690 rubies and were made for an actress to wear at the Oscars but never worn.





This pair of alligator boots by Manolo Blahnik comes in at a cool $14000 which is very cheap by comparison. This designer is famous for very high heeled designs and also designs wedding shoes. The good news is that you can buy these fabulous boots and others made of ostrich leather and snake skin in New York. (If animal skins are your thing!)




















4. The world's most expensive handbag, priced at an eye-watering £1 million, has been unveiled in London. Made out of platinum and set with over 2,000 diamonds - totalling 208 carats - the petite clutch is the ultimate accessory for the woman who has everything. But if its price tag seems a little steep, prospective buyers should bear in mind that the bag is nothing if not versatile.




Its diamond-encrusted strap can be detatched and worn as a necklace or bracelet and it also features an eight carat pear-shaped diamond that can be worn separately as a brooch. The bag was created by Japenese designer Ginza Tanaka. It is valued at more than £1 million and is the showpiece of London Jewellery Week, which is sponsored by private bank Coutts. The bag will go on display at a number of stores across the capital before being sold, but organisers have not disclosed which shops will get the honour of hosting the handbag.

5.On 14th September Julien Macdonald created the MOST expensive Fashion Show in the world! Not only was there £20 million in Dazzling Diamond Jewellery by MOUAWAD but Julien also created The Most Expensive Two Seater Ever From Ford, (inspired By Kylie).



Naomi Campbell opened the show wearing an amazing white gown and one of the rarest diamonds in the world - the 60.19-carat D flawless MOUAWAD MONDERA. Usually encased behind thick bulletproof glass, the £12 million MOUAWAD MONDERA, pear-cut diamond was the show's star attraction. In addition to this very rare piece the guests were treated to a visual delight with Erin O Conner and Karen Elson strutting brightly coloured summer frocks perfectly matched with sets of Vintage Diamond and rare canary yellow Diamonds.






Julien Macdonald also teamed up with Ford Streetka. To celebrate this partnership, Julien Macdonald customised the new Ford roadster. This fabulous vehicle was set with more than 2,000 brilliant cut diamonds. 150 carats of diamonds, supplied by GES in association with The Diamond Trading Company, gave the car a retail value in excess of $1,000,000.

6. If your passion for performance and luxury autos cannot be stopped, and your McLaren F1 is becoming a bore with the rest of your exotic cars, it might be time to check out the long awaited Veyron from Bugatti. At around $1.25 million, it is the most expensive car ever made. So what car value do you get for all that money?





This is not your typical luxury car. How about a W-16 (essentially two narrow-angle V-8s sharing a crankshaft) with four turbochargers generating 1001 hp, throw in all-wheel drive and you’ve got a seriously fast car.



The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 hits 60 mph in 2.5 secs., does the quarter-mile in 10.5 secs. and reaches its top speed of 252 mph in just 55 secs. After a long absence from the market Bugatti (with a little help from parent company Volkswagen) has reclaimed its title as the ultimate performance car and reigns supreme as the world’s most expensive car in production.
