Isha Sanah Akhtar, of Blackburn, U.K., said her uncle arranged for the chauffer-driven ride.

“I even had my own red carpet from the car to the hall.”

The Manchester-based sedan is available for rent through Poptop.com, and reportedly cost 500 pounds ($625) per quarter-hour for the VIP experience. It was customized by Vinceri UK, the same outfit that encrusted a Lamborghini Huracan in 1.3 million red crystals for Instagram model Daria Radionova.
