Socialite Russian Woman Bedazzles her Mercedes-Benz with 1 million Swarovski crystals
A 21-year-old Russian socialite has found a unique way to express herself and show off her bling - by bedazzling her Mercedes-Benz with 1 million Swarovski crystals, according to reports.
Daria Radionova, a business student living in London, has been causing quite a stir with her one of a kind bedazzled Mercedes-Benz. Radionova said the people she hired to cover every part of her 2011 Mercedes CLS 350 in crystals, from the door handles to the Mercedes badges, came over from Russia and worked "12 hours a day for two months," according to the Daily Mail.
"I wanted to have something unique and do something special," the 21-year-old business student said.
"I am really happy with it and I am looking forward to driving it around. It has only just been finished and everywhere I go people stop to have a look at it. It gets lots of attention from people walking by and in cars. Sometimes I think they might crash."
"Everyone is taking pictures of it. When I sell the car I will give the money to charity."
There is no word regarding how much Radionova spent on the transformation (she reportedly used $33,000 worth of faux diamonds), but the Russian-born student did take offense to the Mail saying she paid "just" £25,000 (about $41,000) for the vehicle, stating on her Facebook page that "the car is worth more than 25k."
According to the report, Radionova keeps spare crystals inside the vehicle to replace ones that fall off while she is driving.
