When it comes to red carpet fashion, Jennifer Tilly is never one to shy away from a bold statement — but even she wasn’t prepared for the sticker shock that came with her latest look. The iconic actress recently revealed that she was genuinely stunned by the price of her custom Balmain dress, admitting she had no idea it would cost that much.
“I thought it was expensive, but not that expensive,” Tilly confessed with a laugh, eyes wide. “When they told me the final number, I was like... wait, is that in dollars or gold bars?!”
Fans couldn’t help but relate — because who among us hasn’t fallen in love with a dream outfit, only to be brought back down to earth by the reality of couture pricing? Still, despite the jaw-dropping cost, Tilly rocked the Balmain piece with her signature glamor and confidence.
One thing’s for sure: Jennifer may have been shocked, but fashion history was made. And the dress? Worth every dramatic gasp.
