The outfit Cindy McCain wore on the opening day of the Republican National Convention cost between $299,100 and $313,100, Vanity Fair estimates.

McCain's gold Oscar de la Renta dress cost $3,000 and her heels cost $600, the magazine reports, but it was the accessories that made the ensemble a pricey gambit.

The potential first lady wore three-carat diamond earrings worth an estimated $280,000 as well as a four-strand pearl necklace with a price range between $11,000–$25,000.

She completed the look with a $4,500 Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch.

"She appreciates very well-made clothes and that have rich, luxurious fabrics," Sasha Iglehart, Glamour magazine's deputy fashion director told the Associated Press. "Such clothes could wear the person and she seems to be able to carry it off."

McCain was accompanied by First Lady Laura Bush, who donned a white Oscar de la Renta suit with a price tag of $2,500. Her Stuart Weitzman heels cost $325 and her pearl stud earrings reportedly cost between $600 and $1,500.

John McCain's address at the convention was watched by about 38.9 million viewers compared to Barack Obama's viewership of 38.4 million last week.
