To begin with, Sana’s red carpet appearance was already nothing but short of breathtaking. She donned a burgundy floor-length gown that complemented the brilliance of the Graff diamonds adorning her. But, it was undeniable that it was the accessories that elevated her ensemble.
Notably, it’s the 102.34-carat round brilliant diamond in her necklace that served as the centerpiece of her overall look. Moreover, Sana also wore a diamond ring, which weighed over 20 carats, and chandelier earrings boasting more than 60 carats of platinum-set emeralds and diamonds.
In total, the K-pop star carried an impressive 188.77 carats of polished Graff diamonds, making her red carpet appearance one of the most expensive in the history of such events.
