Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 357

'Why does Violeta get to wear haute couture?'

When Carmen heard the news, she was also stunned.

Although Violeta had made significant strides in her career, she was nowhere near the level where she could choose haute couture at will.

Haute couture wasn't something you could just pick and wear.

Globally, among all the entertainment circles, aside from the local entertainment industry in Auratia, which country could boast such a number of female celebrities wearing haute couture?

In comparison, the Korena entertainment industry, with its smaller market, wasn't even on the radar for brands when it came to red-carpet appearances. Their idols were often left with ready-to-wear lines or haute couture pieces that had been worn countless times over the years.

Only Orion, Poresaint, and the local entertainment industry could genuinely talk about a "global first wear".

The prestige of this term was immense, signifying haute couture's unrivalled status among all formal gowns.

Frankly, given Violeta's current standing, she wasn't cut out for haute couture.

Wearing it without the appropriate status could lead to serious consequences.

What's going on here?

Carmen immediately decided to investigate, and the findings were shocking.

'Hattie, Violeta has made a huge blunder this time! Can you believe it? The haute couture she's wearing is self-bought. Once the Clio Charity Night event is over, she can kiss her future fashion resources goodbye!'

Hattie's eyes widened as she hurriedly replied, 'What? She bought that dress herself? Gosh! Is Violeta out of her mind?'

This was an amateurish mistake for Violeta to make.

But wait, where did Violeta get the money for this?

Buying haute couture, those extravagant, impractical dresses that cost millions, was like throwing money away. It had no cost-effectiveness whatsoever.

Another message from Carmen popped up.

'Hehe, she probably thought she could take a risky move. Maybe she believed that with one successful drama, the fashion world would notice her. So, she bought the haute couture to attract the brands' attention. This is ridiculous! Does Eugene know about this? Letting Violeta do something like this, isn't she afraid of being blacklisted by the fashion industry?'
