Pursuing for higher education is one of the manifestations of a person who really wants a change in the quality of life. To improve one’s knowledge is a great challenge and a very tedious task. But, a successful attempt towards self-enrichment through acquiring new knowledge would mean very big in this complicated world.

What is the most expensive dress in the world?

 

On July 28 2004 Samantha Mumba attended the premiere of Spider-Man II in the world’s most expensive dress.

Created by Scott Henshall the dress contains about 3,000 diamonds in the shape of a spider’s web and would cost you, not only the clothes off your back, but an additional £5 million as well.

The cost of her dress would compete  to the cost of the movie she was about to watch.
