How much does haute couture cost? We imagine how broke we’d be after a shopping trip at the high fashion salons

Haute couture has become increasingly demystified as the years progress. These days, runway presentations are livestreamed to the world, social media and popular fashion documentaries take us behind the scenes of Paris's most legendary houses, and celebs of every stripe take to red carpets in attention-grabbing couture loaners.

One area in which haute couture remains mysterious, however, is its pricing. *Cue gasps*. While discussing precise sums of moolah may appear vulgar to some, it's a time-honoured millennial hobby with roots in an uncertain global economy and soaring costs of living in the developed world. In light of this, we had fun (a little bit? too much? you decide) imagining the financial ruin that would result from purchasing the most beautiful looks from Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week's recently concluded edition, which also happened to be the most outrageous.

Hey, more is more is more.
