14 of Melania Trump's most expensive outfits
Manolo Blahnik heels — $625
The First Lady was criticized for seeming out of touch by wearing expensive designer heels to visit the site of a natural disaster. The Manolo Blahnik pumps retail for $625 at Neiman Marcus, but are currently sold out.
By the time she disembarked in Texas, she had changed into sneakers.
Balmain button-down shirt — $690
Trump welcomed the Boys and Girls Club of Washington into the White House Kitchen Garden in a tartan cotton button-down shirt. It's available on Net-A-Porter for $690.
Her outfit garnered comparisons to Michelle Obama's less expensive J. Crew-based gardening outfits that included a $29.50 shirt and a $228 jacket.
Gucci blouse — $1,100
Trump wore a pink Gucci pussy bow blouse to the second presidential debate. Many wondered if the style choice was related to audio of Donald Trump remarking that he could "grab" women "by the p---y" because "when you're a star they let you do it" that had leaked a few days earlier. A campaign spokeswoman said that the similarity was not intentional according to a tweet by Sopan Deb, then of CBS News.
The blouse retails for $1,100 on Net-A-Porter.
Roksanda dress — $2,865
For her speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump wore a white Roksanda "Margot" dress which is advertised as "a beautiful option for the modern bride" with $675 Christian Louboutin heels.
The dress sold out less than an hour after her speech. It currently retails on Net-A-Porter for $1,646.10, but 2016 reports price the dress at $2,190.
Delpozo dress — $2,950
Trump spoke to the United Nations about cyberbullying, but people couldn't stop talking about her $2,950 hot pink Delpozo dress with voluminous sleeves.
Business Insider's Kate Taylor wrote that her choice of dress revealed her lack of public speaking experience since the dress didn't appear oversized from a distance, but was ill-suited for speaking behind a podium.
Michael Kors jacket and Christian Louboutin heels — $2,970
Both Trump and French first lady Brigitte Macron wore white outfits on the French leaders' visit to Washington. It's not the first time they've dressed alike.
Aside from the Michael Kors jacket costing $2,195, Trump wore a Hervé Pierre hat and $775 Christian Louboutin heels.

J. Mendel gown — $6,990
After the backlash of Trump's "I really don't care, do u?" jacket that she wore on a visit to Texas to visit immigrant children (her spokeswoman said "There's no hidden message"), she opted for a pale yellow pleated chiffon gown from J. Mendel on her and President Trump's first official visit to the UK. The gown is no longer available but was priced at $6,990, according to USA TODAY.
Monique Lhuillier gown — $7,995

Michael Kors jacket and skirt — $9,590
FLOTUS wore an embroidered Michael Kors jacket and skirt ensemble for a joint session of Congress. The dinner jacket retails for $4,995, the skirt for $4,595.
When some criticized the look as too flashy for the event, Kors released a statement to Vanity Fair: "Mrs. Trump has been a long time client at our New York boutique. She has a keen understanding of what works best for her and her lifestyle. My embroidered black suit reflects the streamlined glamour that she is known for."
Bally trousers, Manolo Blahnik heels, Hermes Birkin bag — $14,170
Trump wore $575 Bally wide-legged trousers and $595 Manolo Blahnik heels when she moved into the White House in 2017 with son Barron. She also carried a Hermes Birkin bag with an estimated cost of $13,000.

Melania Trump wore a $51,500 Dolce & Gabbana jacket to meet with spouses of world leaders at the G-7 summit in Italy.
Purchasing the floral multicolored jacket requires a $25,750 deposit. The full cost of the jacket is more than most Americans make in a year.
Custom Hervé Pierre gown — priceless
For the night after the inauguration, Trump worked with designer Hervé Pierre to create a custom gown.
"When sitting down with Hervé to discuss her vision, the first lady knew she wanted a modern, light, unique and unexpected look," Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's press secretary and communications director, told CNN.
Such custom creations for inaugural balls are priceless. Trump donated her gown to the Smithsonian's First Ladies Collection exhibit at the National Museum of American History.
