Heading out to prom at the end of high school was always a fancy, elaborate and nerve-racking affair, but these days, it’s also a terribly expensive one.
Thank the Powers That Be for well-off, generous uncles! One 16-year-old girl from Blackburn, U.K., has her uncle to thank for in terms of making her prom night the best experience she could have ever wanted, thanks to a blinged out Rolls.
Isha Sanah Akhtar attended the Blackburn Central High School and, for her prom, she rode in a Rolls-Royce Phantom covered in 4 million Swarovski crystals. The car wasn’t hers, of course, but at a £500 ($629) rental feel for a mere 15 minutes, it was still a very expensive – and flashy – get.
Being able to make such an entrance, Isha also made sure everything else matched: she had her own red carpet from the Phantom to the entrance of the hotel where the prom was being held, she had a camera crew with her, had her hair and makeup done, and spent a small fortune on a dress.
Of course, the most expensive item on the list was renting the blinged out Phantom, but Isha says it was worth every penny. Especially since her uncle paid for it.
“Ever since I’ve been small my uncle has been like a father figure to me,” she says, as cited by Metro. “He wanted to do something special for my prom and give me a great send-off from school. My uncle and family wanted to do something different for me so I didn’t have the same entrance as anyone else.”
To say that she stood out with that sparkly Phantom is most likely an understatement.
“I even had my own red carpet from the car to the hall. The prom was just amazing. The car and what has been done for me brought tears to my eyes,” she adds.
