Lupita Nyong'o and Calvin Klein The beautiful dress designed by Calvin Klein was worn by Lupita Nyong'o. She attended the 87th Annual Academy Awards in 2015 wearing this custom-made dress. This halter neck gown is embellished with over 6,000 pearls. The dress became the subject of scandal when it was stolen and later returned to the London Hotel in West Hollywood just days after Nyong'o had worn it on the red carpet. 9. Princess Diana wore this dress at President Reagan's White House dinner in 1985 where she danced with actor John Travolta. She swirled around in this beautiful dress which was custom-made by Victor Edelstein. The iconic velvet dress was originally auctioned off for charity in 1997, selling for $100,000 then sold again in 2013 for $240,000. 8. White's activist Amal Clooney who is also the wife of actor and politician George Clooney wore this dress on her wedding day. It was designed by Oscar de la Renta. This beautiful white off-shoulder dress made Amal look like she stepped right out of a fairy tale. It featured intricate French lace detailing and hand-embroidered pearls. 7. Meghan Markle and Givenchy Prize $388,000 Miss Meghan Markle's wedding dress has been designed by the acclaimed British designer Claire Waite Keller. Miss Waite Keller last year became the first female artistic director at the historic French fashion house, Givenchy. Meghan Markle preferred a very simple look, reminding us of Audrey Hepburn. Although her dress was significantly cheaper than Kate Middleton's dress, it looked absolutely beautiful on Meghan. Givenchy explained the dress, ''True to the heritage of the house, the pure lines of the dress are achieved using six meticulously placed seams. The focus of the dress is the graphic open baton neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasizes the slender sculpted waist. The lines of the dress extend towards the back where the train flows in soft round folds cushioned by an underskirt and triple silk organza. The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity.'' 6. Peacock Wedding Dress Prize $1.5 million The peacock has always fascinated people. It is signified by its status as a symbol of royalty as well as a symbol of eternality. As a result, it is common that a wide range of individuals have used peacock feathers for decorative purposes, whether wearing them in hats and crowns or embellishing them in an outfit otherwise. Tragically, the peacock wedding dress might have gone too far, seeing as how it boasts a trailing skirt made out of hundreds and hundreds of peacock feathers. The result is certainly a gorgeous skirt which looks visually appealing. However, peacock feathers are considered a bad omen in some cultures and therefore, although it may be a very creative and beautiful dress, it is not practical. 5. Christian Dior Prize $2 million This dress is a sight for sore eyes indeed. It was designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior at the 1997 Academy Awards. In fact, Nicole Kidman was actually paid $2 million to don this chartreuse haute couture. It's a beautiful figure-hugging dress which has a unique color. However, the unusual color definitely paid off as it looks absolutely gorgeous. This was one of the first big commissions for designer John Galliano. 4. William Travella's Marilyn Monroe Dress Prize $5.6 million This is the dress Marilyn Monroe wore in the most-loved movie made in 1955 called The Seven-Year Itch and this dress was famously known as the Subway Dress. It is pleated with ivory and was designed by the famous William Travella. It was sold in 2011 for a whopping $5.6 million at an auction in Beverly Hills. 3. White Gold Diamond Dress Prize $8.5 million Yumi Katsura is a legend in Japanese fashion world. Basically, she studied haute couture in Paris when she was young. After which, she went back to Japan where she played a significant part in popularizing western-style wedding dresses in her country over the course of her five-decade-long career. These days, Yumi Katsura is a worldwide brand whose dresses are displayed not just in Japan but also in other countries such as Britain, France, and the United States. The White Gold Diamond Dress is the most costly of her creations, so much so that it costs something along the lines of $8.5 million. It is obvious from its name that it is embellished with a diamond. But that's not it. It also dons thousands of pearls which is why this dress is so damn expensive. Sits on the waist of the dress, a 5-carat white gold diamond and an 8.8-carat green diamond. Unbelievable! 2. Diamond-Encrusted Abaya Designed for UAE Clientele Prize $17.7 million This Abaya dress is designed by British designer Debbie Wingham exclusively for her client in UAE. It is the rarest dress to have ever been made and it's embellished with red diamonds. Damn! Red diamonds are the rarest diamonds to exist and they are very hard to find. The Abaya design highlights an oversized caftan silhouette, a gesture of the designer's undying fondness for Dubai. Printed with red and black flower embellishments, encrusted with rich gems including 52-carat black diamonds, 52-carat white diamonds, 1,899 black and white pointer diamonds, and 1,000 pointer rubies, all set in 14-carat gold. Wingham notes that her dress is more of a showpiece and will never be bought by anyone. The red diamond is borrowed and they are so hard to find that I may never get another one nor would the private collector ever want to sell. 1. Nightingale of Kuala Lumpur Prize $13 million This is the most expensive dress in the entire world to be made ever, and rightly so.
