All eyes are on Dr. Jill Biden as the new first lady. Dr. Jill Biden not only has quite
the resume, but she also has impeccable taste in fashion. Here's a look at the most expensive
outfits she has ever worn.
In November 2020, Dr. Jill Biden appeared alongside her husband, then President-elect
Joe Biden, at Joe Biden's election victory speech in November wearing an asymmetrical
navy blue floral dress. Designed by the renowned Oscar de la Renta, popular with past first
ladies like Jackie Kennedy and Michelle Obama, the dress came with a hefty $5,690 price tag,
according to Insider. Stepping out in Oscar de la Renta seemed to hint that Dr. Biden
was, in fact, ready to take her place among America's first ladies.
She completed the look with a dark-colored mask, but she added a pop of color with a
pair of fuchsia heels by Jimmy Choo, a designer that the first lady is known to wear frequently.
The day prior to the 2021 presidential inauguration, Dr. Jill Biden dressed head to toe in purple
while attending a COVID-19 memorial at the Lincoln Memorial. The first lady certainly
looked great in New York designer Jonathan Cohen's "Unity" dress, priced at $2,295, with
matching "Unity" wrap coat with velvet tie, priced at $3,895. Both pieces are from the
designer's fall/winter 2021 collection and were not available to the public at the time.
She topped off the look with a pair of matching purple gloves and pointed-toe heels.
The first lady's outfit would not be complete, however, without a matching face mask, and
this one certainly did not disappoint. The $90 printed mask was made from the remnants
of the designer's fabrics.
For her husband's presidential inauguration, First Lady Jill Biden chose an eye-catching
dress, coat, gloves, and mask in a calming ocean blue for a stunning monochromatic look.
The outfit was designed by Markarian, a trending New York-based line led by founder Alexandra
O'Neill. The elegant dress featured a scalloped skirt and a neckline framed by Swarovski pearls
and crystals, while the matching tweed coat was embellished with subtle but glistening
Swarovski crystals for a to-die-for look.
Dr. Biden carried a coordinating turquoise clutch by Tyler Ellis to top off her outfit.
From the looks of the designer's website, you, too, can carry a similar clutch for around
$1,250 to $5,000. As for heels, the first lady arrived wearing Jimmy Choo's Love pump,
but switched to Choo's Romy pump for later festivities.
For the evening concert "Celebrating America" after the 2021 presidential inauguration,
First Lady Jill Biden switched into an ivory dress, coat, and matching gloves from designer
Gabriela Hearst. Both were embroidered with flowers representing all 50 states and U.S.
territories, with each flower taking at least two hours to sew. Designer Hearst shared more
about the symbolism of the flowers on Instagram:
"The Delaware flower is positioned at the heart level of The First Lady, from there,
all the other flowers branch out."
According to Hearst, the outfit featured another symbolic detail that was especially meaningful
to the first lady as a longtime educator: a quote from Benjamin Franklin that read,
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
When it came to her earrings, the first lady spared no expense with these $8,750 sapphire
and diamond floral earrings by RUCHI New York.
Possibly the most buzzed-about item seen worn by First Lady Jill Biden are these fabulous
over-the-knee Stuart Weitzman boots. The $695 black boots literally sent a message to voters,
with the word "VOTE" printed down the side of each boot. Dr. Biden wore them while voting
in the Delaware state primary election and while attending other campaign events.
Known as the "5050 Vote boots," the black boots are available from Stuart Weitzman with
the word "VOTE" printed in either black, for a monochromatic look, or silver, for a more
standout effect.
"I never ever doubted that anything she set her mind on she could do."
We guess we can include high fashion as one of Dr. Biden's accomplishments. These killer
boots are high-style while sending an important message to the American public. Now that's
how to make a political statement!
First Lady Jill Biden must love the color green because she wore this green Gabriela
Hearst dress, known as the "Kelley dress," more than once before the 2020 presidential
election. The first lady was seen wearing the dress the first time to the 5th Annual
Save the Children Illumination Gala in 2017, and then she wore it a second time while appearing
on MSNBC in 2020.
The long-sleeved, green silk dress, adorned with fringe detailing and made from sustainable
materials like all of Hearst's designs, was part of the designer's fall 2017 collection.
For being high fashion and made from environmentally-friendly materials, the dress came with a not-so-relatable
price tag of $1,795.
First Lady Jill Biden's spring-like blue floral Dolce & Gabbana dress with matching face mask
was a refreshing look for the second U.S. presidential debate that took place on Oct.
22, 2020, at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The $2,195 knee-length dress featured
a square neckline and elbow-length sleeves. She accessorized her look with a mix of pearls
and beaded bracelets. Dr. Biden paired the dress with $995 Jimmy Choo nude heels, one
of her staples.
The audience surely loved the matching dress and mask ensemble, with Twitter users tweeting
comments like,
"Dr. Biden, I just thought you should know my 4-year-old daughter gasped when she saw
your awesome outfit last night! She absolutely loved how your mask matched your dress."
It appears that this dress is not only a favorite with the audience. Prior to donning the dress
for the final presidential debate, Dr. Biden was seen wearing it at a campaign event in
Columbia, S.C. on Feb. 29, 2020.
