Shoes are the best first impressions, accessories are the final touch, and dresses are dreams come true. Dresses have the unique ability to represent any style theme by simply changing the neckline, the fabric, or the length. In K-pop, designer dresses are used to help idols get into different characters, from punk-rock starlet to high-society shopaholic. Below are 7 unique and highly expensive dresses used in Korean pictorials and worn by K-pop idols. Each has a distinct style persona, a thousand dollar price tag and characteristics that set it apart from all other runway pieces. All it takes is a captivating pattern or a geometric twist in the flowing skirt to get a timeless photograph. Share your thoughts on the themed dresses by voting for your favorite in the end!

Nana's Saint Laurent Gold Guns Jacquard Dress ($2,099)

CL's Alexander McQueen Empire Line Mini Dress ($2,325)

CL's McQueen dress is a Gothic beauty. Every detail screams reformed vampire, from the old-fashioned cuffs to the lovely satin ribbons that drape over the wrists

Soyou's Blumarine Techno Lurex Brocade and Lace Dress ($3,322)

Soyou's Blumarine dress is the perfect blend of conservative and sexy. You can never go wrong with black lace, transparent inserts and roses.

Jessica's Armani Collezioni Long Evening Dress ($2,835)

Jessica's Armani dress appears simple because the shiny, dark wool hides most of the details. However, the scrunched rose on the bodice made entirely out of folded fabric shows amazing craftsmanship.

Tiffany's Miu Miu Mettalic Brocade Dress ($3,500)

Tiffany's Miu Miu dress is like a contemporary painting of clouds and ocean waves. The pattern of silver and cobalt thread woven together is so meticulous it looks like delicate paintbrush strokes.

Suzy's McQ dress makes her look like a starting warrior class character straight out of a video game. The asymmetrical hem and skirt are bold, confident and innovative.

Nicole's ADIDAS x JEREMY SCOTT Printed Metal Chain Mail Dress ($1,885)

Nicole's Jeremy Scott dress can only be loved or hated, there is no in-between. It's a glittery take on a basketball tank-top that can be interpreted as androgynous or almost too sexy.
