It Costs How Much?! Stars' Style Splurges
$50,000 EARRINGS
These megawatt Norman Silverman diamond sparklers might have just replaced Ben Affleck as the thing we'd most like to steal from Jennifer Garner.
$23,980 HANDBAG
Normally, when we talk about an investment bag, we're referring to one that costs a few hundred or maybe a couple thousand dollars, but for the price of Christina Hendricks's five-figure Farbod Barsum purse, you could drive off with a brand new Prius (or, you know, pay off all those student loans).
$1,595 HEELS
Perhaps Katy Perry used the money she saved on the material cut out of her dress to pay for her towering $1,595 Brian Atwood "Power Studs" pumps. Someone should tell her that a glue gun and some studs from the craft store can achieve a similar look.
$15,000 GOWN
Sparkle star Jordin Sparks lived up to the film's title in a Chagoury Couture gown that retails for a cool $15K – and that was before she had it customized with an additional 600 Swarovski crystals.
$770 SUNGLASSES
What sets Jennifer Lawrence's Leisure Society shades apart from that $5 pair we bought after leaving ours in the back of a cab? Oh, just the pure titanium arms, plated in white gold and accented with bone enamel frames. Let's hope she's less forgetful than we are!
$38,400 BRACELET
Well, that's one seriously expensive way to accessorize a basic LBD! Viola Davis selects a five-figure Katerina Maxine bracelet that features 18-karat white gold in a scalloped style and 6.87 carats of diamonds. Included in the price: The capacity to cause temporary blindness with nothing but a wave of the hand.
$1,195 HEELS
What we wouldn't give to walk a mile (fine, five feet and then we'd need a chair) in Emma Stone's skyscraper striped Christian Louboutin heels. The black-and-white "Armadillo Bride" pumps were released to fête the shoe sovereign's 20th anniversary, and have a limited-edition price tag to match.
$251 SHORTS
Don't be fooled by Rihanna's low-key vibe. There's nothing low about the price of her printed Pierre Balmain shorts. On the bright side, they're currently on sale, down from $312!
$2,260 HANDBAG
Her Sex and the City character was known to overspend on accessories and Sarah Jessica Parker is no different. She totes a Fendi "2Jours Elite" shopper, the perfect mom-on-the-go bag – that is, if mom happens to be a fabulously wealthy movie star.
$594 SWEATER
Putting those X-Men and Mad Men paychecks to use, January Jones strolls L.A. in casual flared denim, a striped tank – oh, and a nearly $600 Souchi cotton cardigan. For some, no price is too high for comfort, and apparently this actress is among them.
$400 BLOUSE
What's the perfect item to wear to debut your custom megawatt engagement ring? If you're Angelina Jolie, it's a money-is-no-object L'Agence silk blouse with a tie neck (left nonchalantly undone, of course).
$42,000 EARRINGS
"Rock" of ages, indeed! Catherine Zeta-Jones spends more on her ears (with dazzling Norman Silverman diamond hoops) than many people spend in a year.
$300 SWEATSHIRT
No ratty old tops for Ashley Tisdale, who struts her stuff in a studded By Chance "Melissa" sweatshirt. Though with that price tag, we're guessing she's not actually planning to sweat in it.

It would be really hard for me to spend more than $100 dollars on a single item.
Love the man in your icon <3
Ashley Tisdale, what were you thinking? That sweater is worth $300 to you?!
If I had that much money, I'd blow it on houses, properties, etc. At least those actually appreciate.
Honestly, if I got rich, I'd probably spent a crapton on independent handmade stuff. Make some Etsy seller's year.

I want a new mustang...and 500 hp.
And then maybe gadgets or something. AND NICE SHOES because I can't afford nice shoes. And shit loads of make up.
or I hope so, because they're ugly.
Also, does anyone else watch TMZ regularly? There was an episode where one of the women complained about someone's old belt and said 'it's a belt! it's only $200!' and everyone else was looking at her crazy and calling her on it, only to have her back up her choice by telling of her sacrificing for fashion and surviving on salads to buy nice stuff. I mean, gurl.....
you're gonna have to get in line behind all the hookers & strippers he's banging all the time.

it'd be impossible
(Also unnecessary rant: my bf's older sister and I have been texting and she keeps saying she won't send her boyfriend the dirty pics he wants, condemning me for giving them out for 'free' and reminding me that we need to keep men chasing us, and it's actually good my bf and I are long distance cause it's like a game in itself. Like shit, I've been with him three years and have made long distance work for the last one, and you've been with your on and off again boyfriend for like four months and been long distance for three of them. You need to stop. It's not a game, we're grown ass adults. Like I'm trying to be nice, but calling long distance a good game really annoyed me. /rant)
