Cindy McCain's $300,000 Outfit for the RNC

Filed under: Apparel, Events, Celebrity Shopping

Thanks to the calculator-savvy fashion dept. over at Vanity Fair, we've got an estimated grand total for Cindy McCain's outfit from Tuesday evening's Republican National Convention festivities. The final cha-ching? $300,000. Highlights include her Oscar de la Renta fierce-collared shirtdress, a pair of $280,000 diamond sparklers and Chanel's J12 white ceramic watch. The shoes have yet to be identified -- any guesses readers? (I'm betting Manolo.)

At least in the realm of fashion, Cindy is the elitist in this race. Remember Michelle Obama's pick for her appearance on The View? A $148 number from mass chain White and Black.

Ruby Slippers To Benefit Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation

Nineteen to-covet designers including Oscar de la Renta, Manolo Blahnik, Alberta Ferretti and Christian Louboutin are teaming up with Warner Brothers and Swarovski to reinvent Dorothy's ruby slippers to commemorate the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. This time, we're not in Kansas anymore. Based on some of the designer sketches we've seen, we're talking Swarovski-fied, ruby red protect-me-from-the-evil-witch stilettos. Basically what sweet little Anne Hathaway could have used in The Devil Wears Prada.

Each designer will craft a mere two pairs, and the shoes will make their debut September 4 during New York Fashion Week, posing in Saks Fifth Avenue's window before moving on to Miami's Art Basel and further appearances throughout 2009. The iconic slippers will then be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

I wish that I could have found this tray before Thanksgiving. A cheese course isn't exactly traditional fare for this particular holiday, but cheese, crackers and other snacks are usually put out to keep dinner guests busy while the turkey is still in the oven. The Kent Cheese Tray is part of Oscar de la Renta's "Country" collection for Lunt Silversmiths. The oval tray measures 26" x 19" and is inlaid with wood of different shades to form an elegant star pattern. The handles are silver plated and add a touch of elegance overall look of the tray. Price: $195.

For some, spring 2007 may seem like an eternity away. After all, we have to get through a mid-term election, cold winter, and who knows what else till we start thinking about a wild spring break and summer breezes. But in the world of fashion, spring/ summer 2007 is already here. Oscar De La Renta has recently unveiled his resort 2007 line and it is the pinnacle of laid-back style and refinement. No matter where your yacht makes call, these garments will speak of your grace and charm without you saying a word. Look for the designs to hit the stores by November.
