13. Celebrities Don’t Buy All Their Nice Clothes – They’re Gifts
There are plenty of reasons to envy celebrities: fame, fortune, popularity – take your pick! One of the many reasons so many celebrities are envied is because of their lavish lifestyles, with their fancy homes, pricey cars, and expensive clothes. In reality, celebrities are actually given many of their most expensive possessions by designers and corporations. Gowns worn to awards shows, like the Golden Globes, Oscars, and VMAs, are the most common/expensive/coveted gifts from designers because the red carpet coverage preceding award shows gives clothing and dress designers wild press and media coverage. However, the gifts go far beyond gowns: celebrities frequently get free cars from dealerships looking for endorsements, free services from companies and corporations looking either for endorsements or just celebrity favor, and free casual clothing, accessories, and shoes from designers hoping for magazine or tabloid coverage. Sure, these celebrities are still enviable, but they can’t afford all the amazing things they own.
