Carina Mirable has definitely turned every Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 dinner party into a fashion show, modelling a series of unique outfits and looking like she’s stepped straight onto a Hollywood red carpet.
Now the reality star has revealed the extraordinary cost of her outfits on the show, saying she spent up to $15,000 on her MAFS looks.
“When you think about it, that’s six months of filming, five days a week, and every day has to essentially be a look, and production have to approve your outfit,” Carina revealed in an interview with her hair stylist Jacob Muller, saying fashion comes as “second nature” to her.

Carina said she wanted a “wow” factor in all of her looks and that her outfit choices each week inspired the people around her.
“We really tried to be diverse. I wanted to have a wow factor so that the viewers of the show could get influenced by the looks and get inspired and try to recreate that look when they’re going out or having a dinner party with their friends,” Carina said.
“From the styling point of view, production doesn’t give you any money or reimbursement, it’s all done on your own end and your own accord,” she continued.
“Every outfit I was wearing, production or the crew were so inspired by my outfits, and they were like, ‘Give me the websites, I wanna go buy what you’ve just worn,'” Carina said. “I felt that was great because I love making people feel good about themselves and inspiring people.”
Carina opens up about backlash as she’s labelled ‘Kmart Kardashian’
Carina said one of her ‘wet hair’ looks had people hating on her, labelling her as a ‘Kardashian’ wannabe.
“I got a lot of hate, and I’m continuing to get a lot of hate,” Carina said. “And it has nothing to do with the Kardashians and how they wear their hair and outfits, it just works best on my style and my body.”

It didn’t stop people in the comments, however, from slamming Carina’s choices, accusing her of wanting to become an influencer instead of focusing on finding love.
“So basically everyone that planned for the full eight weeks of outfits stayed because they had to fill those slots in… it wasn’t about the relationships,” one person bluntly said. “[She] clearly didn’t go on the show to find love then, just trying to get a career outside of the show. What a waste of money on outfits,” another agreed.
“Temu Kardashian,” someone else commented, with someone else replying, “Kmart Kardashian…..only there for her 15 minutes of fame!!”
“I’m sorry?? $12,000?! I mean, slay diva, but holy fuck,” someone else exclaimed.
