Bling Empire is Netflix’s latest reality TV show, featuring real Crazy Rich Asians \u2013 putting the actual movie to shame. For the majority of us who can’t afford the Bling lifestyle, here’s how we’re recreating some of the show’s iconic outfits on a budget! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s barely been a month since Bling Empire launched on Netflix, and we’re already trying to recreate their outfits to vicariously live through the casts’ experienced glitz and glamour. While our wallet cried out “No!” to the show’s featured Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton, we managed to find out how to go budget while retaining the bling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you can’t be rich, at least have rich friends<\/s> at least learn how to dress rich”<\/em><\/strong>. Here’s how we’re recreating some of our favourite outfits from these iconic scenes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Set the stage:<\/strong> Jaime, Kevin, and Kim are just chilling by the pool at Kim\u2019s apartment (because it\u2019s normal to own large swimming pools in this show?) But Jaime forgot to bring a swimsuit. Kevin glanced over, and carried her into the pool while she was in a super cute white dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the stage:<\/strong> Kevin was feeling thankful for his ultra-high net worth friends, who brought him to many swanky events and showered him with endless gifts. To show his appreciation, he invites his new crew to another<\/em> rich friend\u2019s rooftop party (yup, not his). Despite all these happenings, the only thing that caught our attention was Kim\u2019s showstopper of a dress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
