The money-money look (style)/money-to-burn look/
"rich bitch look" is probably not the right register?
Note from asker:
| Register is not the problem with rich bitch, but the context is not limited to women´s clothes. |

the monied look
The filthy rich look.
Often 80's fashion was ostentatious and over-the-top. The "more is more" look, if you like. This is in direct opposition to the pare down look of the 90's when "less was more", but equally as expensive. ;)
Suerte,
Sara

Apologies for the typo, that should read "pared down".
