That wedding sari

Having a dizzyingly stylish wardrobe comes at a price – and a hefty one at that. When Aishwarya married her husband back in 2007, the couple cemented their name as Bollywood’s golden couple with the former Miss World getting married in a traditional Kanjeevaram sari. Made of silk, these saris come from a district in Tamil Nadu that’s renowned for the quality of its work.
Aishwarya’s sari is estimated at around US$100,000. BollywoodShaadis reports that the sari, made by illustrious designer Neeta Lulla, had gold thread and crystals hand-sewn onto it.

Her engagement ring makes jaws drop too. It is a 53-carat solitaire diamond ring, which GQ India says set hubby Abhishek back around US$67,000.
