Taylor Swift’s Eras tour began in Arizona earlier this month, featuring stunning outfits.
One of her tour outfits is a midnight blue Oscar de la Renta bodysuit with over 5,300 hand-sewn crystals and beads.
One embroiderer who has worked with celebrity designers told us that the embroidery alone would have cost around $2,800.
Nicole + Felicia used over 200,000 sequins and crystals in another ‘one of a kind creation’.
Continuing the theme of sweeping gowns, Zuhair Murad collaborated with the You Belong With Me singer to create a custom design requiring over 350 hours of atelier handwork.
A bridal gown from the luxury fashion house typically costs between $9,000 and $20,000, but this bespoke look would have cost significantly more.
It’s unclear whether the singer had to pay for her lavish wardrobe.
One costume designer, who has worked on a number of high-profile tours, told DailyMail.com that celebrities typically did not have to pay for designer clothing.
‘It is beneficial for the talent to have a connection with a designer to tie in the value of their brand,’ she explained.
‘In other words, you get a gorgeous designer gown, and what you pay is the value of [the talent] rather than monetary compensation.
