The fashion industry churns out billions of dollars year after year. However, whether it's haute coutre or prêt–à–porter, some pieces of clothing achieve cult status and become etched in the minds of fashion lovers forever.

Here, we enlist the 10 most expensive dresses ever worn. The list clearly showcases how a dress can appreciate in value because of its iconic wearer.

“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”

The woman who said these words of wisdom is the ultimate style icon, Marilyn Monroe. The 1950s blonde diva wasn’t just famous for her flirty white dress but also for her glam collection of Salvatore Ferragamo heels.

A bit haute, a bit flirty and a whole lot sexy — her Italian designer heels perfectly defined her style sense and personality.

Don't get us wrong...we here at ewmoda love us some RiRi.

The 29-year-old singer has not just pushed the fashion envelope, she's torn it. But not all fashion risks pay off. Case in point: Rihanna's co-ord set by Prada that she recently wore to the Paris premiere of her new movie, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. The outfit has varying shades of pink, fringe, fur, sequins, and feathers. Did we mention that this is all on just ONE outfit?

See for yourself and decide...yay or nay?

Even though we were not fans of Gigi Hadid's last monochrome outfit, we can't help but fall in love with the millennial pink fringe covered moto jacket and bell bottoms from Kreist that Gigi rocked at the launch of her new sunglasses collection for Vogue Eyewear in NYC.

Check out her stunning look below.

Khloe Kardashian recently turned 33 years young and her beau, Tristan Thompson threw her the surprise birthday party of our dreams.

Although, considering how fabulous Khloe looked, we can't help but wonder if she already had an idea about the party.

Khloe looked absolutely sensational in a shimmery pink dress and strappy shoes.

Multi-millionaire and reality TV megastar, Kourtney Kardashian, surely does not need to fetch her own coffee, but when she looks so good while doing it, why wouldn't she?

Recently the 38-year-old (yes, 38!) stepped on a Monday morning in LA wearing a white ribbed tank, denim shorts and sky-high Gianvito Rossi heels.

If only we could look this good while getting coffee. Check out her look and outfit details below.

Don't get us wrong, we LOVE a pair of ripped jeans, it adds a much-required edge to an otherwise boring outfit. What we do not understand, however, is how some celebrities walked out in public wearing jeans that look like they ripped themselves in anger.

Here are 8 celebs who took the ripped jeans trend a bit too far.

When it comes to her fashion mantra, Rihanna has ONE rule: She wears what whatever she wants, whenever she wants. This Barbadian bombshell doesn’t just break the fashion rules, she (literally) stomps all over them and proudly flaunts her own unique style.

She may not be conventionally beautiful like Angelina Jolie nor does she play the safe glam card like JLO but nobody does sassy-meets-eccentric better than her. Whether she's in a nearly-naked sheer number or an elaborate Guo Pei robe, this diva makes sure all eyes are on her and her alone.

Celebs do some crazy things in the name of fashion, one of which is wearing shoes the sight of which could make anyone dizzy.

We often wonder how these celebs even get into these shoes (hello, assistants) or walk around in them. Here are 10 celebs who were captured wearing ridiculously uncomfortable shoes.
