Her Outfit Cost As Much As A House!!!!
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > John McCain
It's nice to see that the wife of our potential future President knows how to spend money wisely!
Cindy McCain and First Lady Laura Bush caught the attention of many when they were spotted on stage Tuesday night at the RNC looking tres chic.
While the Republicans try to make Barack Obama and his family seem like the "celebs" of the political world, John McCain is supposed to represent the "real working Americans, like Levi “F-in’ Redneck” Johnston."
Though that wasn't the case with McCain's wife!
Cindy and Laura were spotted wearing outfits worth thousands of dollars. And throw in the cost of Cindy's jewelry and her outfit is worth more than many peoples' houses!
Lets give them the benefit of the doubt, though. They can afford it, but maybe they got it for free?
Probably not!
Thanks to Vanity Fair, we now have an idea of how much their outfits probably cost. Check out the estimates:
Laura Bush
Oscar de la Renta suit: $2,500
Stuart Weitzman heels: $325
Pearl stud earrings: $600–$1,500
Total: Between $3,425 and $4,325Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, Taryn Rose: $475
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100
We hope McCain can budget the nation's spending money better than he can budget his wife's spendings.
Although, SHE is the one with all the $$$$$$$$$.
Cindy probably gives him a weekly allowance!

Obama: Sham
Palin: Wow!
I love watching the democRATs crying and moaning right now on how they are being picked on. Boo Hoo Crybaby's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's watch them justify the expensive clothing Hillary and Do Nothing Pelosi wears.
I THINK WE SEE WHO THE REAL JACKIE-O IS!
Don't hate on them because they can afford nice clothes. Why should they have to dress from K-Mart to make anyone else happy. They look good. So get over it. Also, Mrs. McCain is using her money to buy herself these items it's not coming out of obama's pocket so calm down.
I HATE BOTH THESE HOES
To everyone saying things like "omg duh she has the money, why not spend it??" that's NOT the point! No one would care WHAT she was wearing if they didn't make a huge deal about Obama being "elitist" and all. Seriously, I think Cindy's outfit is adorable, but if they weren't up in arms about Obama's money, this wouldn't be an issue.
and obama isnt flashy???????????????? wow…. thats weird. i kinda thought the whole stage he built for himself and all that shit was pretty flashy…. and anyway their outfits were BARROWED…. get your facts straight perez… no pun intended
That's insane. She has the whole world watching. Anyone in her position would wear the best suit/dress she could afford. Did you expect her to show up in the Jaclyn Smith collection from K-Mart to prove a point, or what? This is ridiculous. Stick to celebrities.
This is just sick. Spend your money somewhere else, don't rub it in to the middle and low class Americans. Go Obama!
WTF?!
m.
people the point is how can someone who has this kind of money, not a few thousand for a outfit, but a few hundred thousand, possible understand what real people are dealing with in this country!!!!!
She wears those earrings and pearls everywhere! She may have dropped a small fortune on them but at least she is putting them to good use!
ARROGANCE AND SHAMELESS GREED, PROUDLY ON DISPLAY.
~..~
Funny how stuck-up gossip columnists never seem to have a problem with drugged-out celebrities spending their money like it was tap water but when it's someone they don't like, it's "hoping" that McCain can manage the nation's budget better than this! Stick with the crap you know, like drawing cum on celeb's faces…
It shouldnt matter. Seriously lets focus on issues and not clothes, pregnant teens and babies with down syndrome. I know everyone has an opinion but keep it to yourself
It's her personal money - what do you care what she spends it on???
Jeff [99] says: jealous fat ass!!
:l
Hey Jeffie - you paid for this extravagant splash. Your tax dollars are supposed to be used to advance the country. You are the real ass for being too stupid to comprehend that.
:l-
The Army says this year's suicide total among soldiers could reach 130, out of a force of about a million and a half. That would be an increase of more than 10 percent over last year and it would bring the Army above the overall suicide rate for the United States, as adjusted to reflect the Army's demographics.
I can't think of any jeweler that would charge nearly $300,000 for a measly pair of 3-carat tw earrings. I think Vanity Fair is trumping that up to try to make her look bad. But it's her money. That's why everyone wants to be rich, so they can buy and wear and do whatever they want. Celebrities do it. Why can't heiresses who happen to be married to politicians do it too? More power to you, Cindy McCain. Haters are just jealous.
"John McCain is supposed to represent the "real working Americans" Right. Because all "real hard-working Americans" can afford to blow 100,000 on an *OUTFIT*. Fuck off. That cunt spent 3x as much money on one fucking outfit than our *entire* yearly income. WTF would asswipes like this know about being "an average hard-working American"? Kiss my ass.
Re: sweetpiece – Not to mention all the guys who come home and then kill their wives or girlfriends. War is hell.
Yeah, I bet Michelle Obama gets her outfits at JC Penney's
It's her money, why shouldn't she spend it on whatever she wants? It's nothing to do with the government spending. It's not government money. John has no say in what clothes Cindy buys!!
Mute point, Perez!
But that is her right to do that since she is worth like 500 million dollars.
Besides, even though it’s a high price tag…was it flashy? I don’t think so. I think she looks very conservative and understated, so I don’t think she is trying to show off, she just has those things cause she can afford it and she is rich.
all of the jewelry is timeless pieces that she has probably had for 20+ years…..I hope to have those when I get old.
she scares me
Ah…I have to say Perez, if I could afford to, I'd be wearing fabulous duds too…especially the 3-carat diamond earrings!
They can afford it and it's expected of them - especially considering their *social station* in life. I bet the Obamas don't where cheap outfits. Have you seen his suits? They don't look like they're cheap. And I say this as an (Australian) Obama supporter!
ERROR - I meant *wear* not *where*
Oops! I meant *wear* not *where* (my grammar is dying more by the day…)
So why are we going after her? Didn't anyone bother to do research on what the dems wore to the DNC? Oh wait. No. Because liberals have to stoop this low to make fun of conservatives. That's right. We're all idiots who love war and hate gays. Get over yourselves, you hateful, close-minded hypocrites.
Perez, Cindy comes from an extremely wealthy family whose forune lies in an AZ brewery business. I'm hoping some of her baubles were given to her for free endorsement, however, let's not be too hasty in our judging…Jacqueline Kennedy spent frivilous amounts of money on her "Camelot" wardrobe, which is why they have knock-off's of her jewelry for a fraction of the cost on QVC. It seems like you're groping at straws a bit. It's okay… I still love ya - and I'm not voting Republican, so no biggee… I will say, in all honesty, Cindy is one gorgeous woman for her age. Good Lord, what money can buy…
Lol who has a house for 3 thou?
What is it like, one room?
He represents the normal people, most peoples houses are like 5 thou at the very least. And that is just because the whole house crisis thing right now.
Well it is a bit hypocritical when you consider that she wore the outift to feign sympathy for the plight of the victims of Gustav. She could have donated her outfit and jewels and helped a LOT OF people instead of trying to appear compassion in a sinister ploy to earn her husband votes.
And the point is????
Stop being so envious. She´s rich and I dont see anyting wrong with her spending her money on beutiful clothes, I know I would if I had that money.
I know the cost is high but can we talk about the sheer hideousness of Cindy's getup?? Laura looked like royalty though!! luvs it
CASTING GIRL: This isn't an "award show"
and this is ironic considering all of McCain's criticism of Obama's "celebrity Status"
you know? kind of like the status her VP nom now has due to her infamous family.
:D
— btw — dare NOT compare Good WIll ambassador Angie Jolie with Mrs. McCain.
Whatever! What about Hillary she spends alot of money- you just can't tell because she doesn't have the looks, taste, or jugdement.
Republicans- If you work hard it's your money to spend.
Democrates- If you work hard give it to the people that don't work and then keep on working harder.
Retarded that people actually care about the cost of her outfit. Worry about the important things like the election candidates and their platforms!
They both look beautiful. Being wealthy isn't a sin (and most of us would love to be able to afford designer clothes and gorgeous jewelry, so I"m detecting some btter jealousy here) and jewelry is actually a great investment. Unlike real estate, and unfortunately the dollar, the value of jewels rarely goes down, in fact they usually become more valuable with age. These ladies have style and class and represent the women of this country beautifully. I think most people mock Mrs. McCain because she's percieved as an easy target. They really underestimate her intelligence, not to mention her compassion and they decieve themselves in the process. And anyone who underestimates Laura Bush is just a fool.
Disgusting. I bet they can REALLY relate to the average American.
Oh those EVIL rich people! How dare they succeed in life! By the way Perez, isnt the whole idea of YOUR website to succeed? You dont like making more and more money and being able to live a better lifestyle?
Maybe at the inauguration she should wear a trashbag and flipflops!
Something for nothing….isn't that a democratic trait and not something republicans are known for?
i hate to admit this but that yellow trench is cute!
I think the cost of the jewelry is grossly exaggerated. and if she can afford it…then why not. it is her money and if she spends it then it helps the economy.
They have 8 Mansions together.
McCain's wife recently told E! News that the only way to get around Arizona is by private jet!
Talk about country club Republicans!!
