Ripped Jeans

I was over some body's house a couple of weeks ago. There were some people that came from money. The wife was all dressed up, jewelery , hair, makeup, nice blouse, heels and ripped jeans. They looked like they were expensive jeans also. She must have paid big bucks for them.
I never got this look. What is it suppose to mean? I got a lot of money but I'm just like you, I dress in ripped jeans.
It looks funny. You could tell it's not a natural rip in them. It looks like somebody cut them with a razor blade.
If she wanted to show that she was like everybody else, she should have worn, tee shirt, shorts and sneakers. And leave all the jewelery behind.
