I know going outside is expensive as f\u2014k these days, but like is it this expensive, ok?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She went on to explain that she attended a red carpet event. Between her stylist, and the hair and makeup team, the grand total was about $23,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI just want to know, is that f\u2014king normal?\u201d she continued. \u201cI get inflation. I get prices these days have gone up. But if that\u2019s the new norm, y\u2019all can have it. Y\u2019all will never see me at another event.

I also feel like you have absolutely amazing style and don\u2019t even need a stylist. You could pick out your own stuff. It will look stunning.\u201d Biles replied to them, saying, \u201cSo so sweet \u2026 BUT the internet will disagree with you.
