In fact, every first lady in the history of our country has been under scrutiny of the
public when it comes to her wardrobe decisions. First lady Melania Trump is no exception to
this rule. Here are 15 of her most expensive pieces.
Calvin Klein cashmere dress. Price: $1,995. Trump and Akie Abe, wife of Japan’s Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe, enjoyed a stroll through Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray
Beach, Florida, in February 2017. Trump donned an easygoing white cashmere dress and cardigan
for the sunny winter day.
Maison Valentino midi dress. Price: $5,490. Trump pulled out all the stops with this square-neck
red Valentino dress for dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his
wife Peng Liyuan. The first lady’s sassy number of a dress flew off the shelves at
Bergdorf’s in no time.
Ralph Lauren shirtdress. Price: $1,590. Back in May 2017, Trump chose to forego the
traditional headscarf during her trip to Saudi Arabia. While connecting with numerous women
and children of the country and surrounding areas, the first lady donned a khaki Ralph
Lauren shirtdress that remains available on the designer’s website.
Giambattista Valli eyelet dress. Price: $3,685. The young patients of Children’s National
Medical Center in Washington, D.C., were graced with the presence of the first lady. During
a ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the Bunny Mellon Healing Garden to the first ladies,
Trump wore a classy A-line eyelet dress by Giambattista Valli. Afterward, the dress sold
out immediately.
Dolce & Gabbana coat. Price: $51,500. In Sicily during the G7 Summit, the first
lady stepped out of a vehicle outside of Chierici Palace sporting a Dolce & Gabbana coat that
had most of the world’s jaws dropping. Why? The coat retails for $51,500. Nevertheless,
if spending an average U.S. household income on a coat tickles your fancy, you’ll need
to keep your fingers crossed that more become available.
Delpozo belted coat. Price: $2,950. In addressing the importance of children being
the future of every nation to the United Nations during a luncheon, Trump wore a bright pink
belted coat with billowing sleeves.
Balmain, J Brand, and Converse ensemble. Price: 897 euros (Balmain shirt), $185 (J Brand jeans),
$50 (Converse shoes). A day in the White House gardens calls for
a more casual approach to the first lady’s attire. She chose to sport a plaid shirt,
jeans, and tennis shoes while digging around the beds. It’s refreshing to see the first
lady in such relatable clothing every now and then.
Monique Lhuillier sequined gown. Price: $7,995. At the White House Historical Association
dinner in September 2017, Trump met with the association in a Monique Lhuillier sequined
gown. The gown was certainly a head-turner, and remains available for full retail price
at Bergdorf Goodman. The even better news? Free shipping and returns.
Raf Simons for Calvin Klein shirt. Price: $695.
Another casual and nontraditional moment of style for the first lady occurred upon her
return from Camp David. The Western-inspired shirt is still available at Net-A-Porter.
Delpozo sleeveless dress. Price: $2,650. The Spanish label of Delpozo is showing up
over and over with the first lady. She rocked a fun and funky frock while in Poland for
her meeting with first lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda.
Michael Kors Collection wool dress. Price: $1,695.
The Michael Kors sheath dress worn by the first lady at the White House is an absolute
staple piece. This dress is a classic that will never go out of style. It’s available
at Saks in both blue and tan.
Givenchy dress. Cape dress: $2,095. In celebration of the International Red Cross
Ball, the first lady joined the president for a trip to Palm Beach, Florida. She was
photographed wearing flats and a cape dress, and she looked great in the fun ensemble.
Gabriela Hurst shirt dress. Price: $2,047. Located in the hills of Maryland, Camp David
is the classic presidential getaway. The first lady rocked a lovely, crisp white shirt dress
by Gabriela Hurst during her time there.
Michael Kors Collection flapper dress. Price: $2,995.
What’s more fun than fringe? In Hamburg, Germany, for the G20 Summit concert, the first
lady wore an amazing fringed 1920s-esque flapper number. This fun-loving frock must have been
a blast to shimmy in.
Emilio Pucci yellow print dress. Price: $2,160. The president and first lady, dressed in a
wildly printed Emilio Pucci maxi dress, recently met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Everyone needs a little color in their lives, so if you want this stunner, Saks still has
it.
