The most expensive Oscar dress of all time

At the 2013 Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence was enchanted in the most expensive dress of all time. In the same year, Lawrence was the face of the luxury French house Dior, so it is not surprising that she chose their creation for one of the most important moments in her life.

Gentle pink color, decent jewelry, and upturned hair were the perfect recipe for an elegant look that fashion critics still consider one of the best Oscar editions of all time.

The dress was designed for Dior by Raf Simons, who said on the occasion that he rounded off the collection of that season with the dress. Lawrence later said she only tried on the dress once and that was it. She added that she avoided striking fashion accessories to keep the dress in the foreground.

The 2013 Oscars will be remembered for the most expensive fashion edition, but also for the accident Jennifer had when she got stuck in a beautiful voluminous skirt and fell down the stairs taking the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook".

Some believe that it was this decline that raised the value of the dress due to the additional broadcast of an awkward moment. Regardless of the accident, the successful collaboration between Dior and Jennifer Lawrence resulted in a three-year contract worth $ 15 million, which says Jennifer can only wear Dior on the red carpet.

Jennifer's dress is followed by Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett.

Second on the list of the most expensive dresses from the Oscars is  Nicole Kidman, who wore the creation of the same designer in 1997. Her yellow dress inspired by Chinese traditional expression cost two million dollars. For that era, it was a significant departure from the “norms” of dressing for the prestigious film award and forever changed the path of fashion at the Oscars.

Her dress has been the target of both positive and negative reviews. In the 1990s, many considered it unconventional. Yellow color, silk, features of some other culture, and insane price put her on the list of the most influential dresses of all time.

The third most expensive Oscar dress, worth $ 250,000, was worn in 2007 by Cate Blanchett. The tight metallic dress delighted critics. Cate was then nominated for Best Supporting Actress in "Notes on a Scandal." The dress was designed by fashion house Armani and adorned with Swarovski crystals.
