Beyoncé isn’t the only Carter with expensive taste—actually, far from it—both her husband, Jay Z, and 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, are known to step out in the sort of custom designs that make us regret ever taking out student loans/pursuing higher education/paying rent instead of shopping exclusively at Gucci … **Sigh**

Blue Ivy, in particular, has inspired an especially strong wave of envy in today’s young adults. Why couldn’t we be born to Beyoncé?! Everything would be so simple.

As we're sure you’ve noticed, or at least assumed, Blue’s clothes have a pretty high price point. The Kelly green Gucci dress Blue's wearing in the photo above, for instance, retails at $2,100 for children, and a whopping $26,000 for adults (net-a-porter.com).

Bey and Blue celebrated Mother's Day in a matching set of ruffled Dolce & Gabbana Hydrangea-print chiffon gowns.

Blue attended Grandma Tina's Wearable Art Gala in a butterfly and Swarovski crystal-laden metallic Mischka Aoki "Her Royal Highness" dress that required "hundreds of hours of painstaking handwork to create," and retails between $8,405 and $10,637 (the added butterflies put it in the $9k range).

Blue's custom denim jacket is AKID ($95), and her zoo bird tote (Gucci!) supposedly sold for over $500 when it was on the market—it's since sold out.

The Princess is Here...

Blue's tulle-tastic Mischka Aoki dress is worth $10,950 (!), while her bejeweled DOLLY shoes cost $565. If we take this out of couture terms, here's what it looks like: the then 4-year-old's gown (which we're assuming won't get a ton of wear, considering the train and all...) costs roughly the same as the average adult's yearly rent.

Blue's statement-making Grammys suit was (as expected), Gucci. The jacket retails for $765, while the pants go for $335—and oh, you can't forget Blue's glittery cat purse, which originally retailed for $2,500...
