Melania Trump is someone who likes to dress to impress. But she has expensive tastes and hangs around other wealthy people who always dress to the nines. Because of this, Melania is constantly dropping some serious cash in order to make a major impression with her fancy ‘fits.
Just how fancy are we talking? Well, we’ve crunched the numbers and determined what Melania Trump’s most expensive outfits are. Wondering how much she spent to be a fashion icon, or maybe you just want to relive her most luxurious looks? Just keep reading to discover everything you’re looking for!
Keeping up with the Kennedys
Once Melania Trump became First Lady, it was almost impossible to avoid comparing her to other women who have had the FLOTUS title. And Melania effectively controlled that narrative when she wore a powder-blue suit to her husband’s 2017 inauguration. Sure, Donald Trump may be a very prominent Republican, but his wife was channeling one of the most iconic Democrats in national history: Jacqueline Kennedy!
How much did Melania shell out for this iconic look? The exact answer is a mystery because neither she nor anyone who designed it has disclosed a price tag. But if you were going to get a similar dress from a designer like Ralph Laure, you’d pay a cool $12,000. When you consider other factors (including possible customization and the services of some killer tailors), Melania likely paid much more than this.
Whatever she paid, though, this dress was a steal. We can’t get over how good she looks in those baby blues!

An inaugural ball dress fit for a princess
Melania Trump is all about going the extra mile. And she knew the eyes of the world would be upon her when her husband’s first inauguration came around. On that day, she rocked two iconic outfits, the first being that baby blue dress that made her look like a secret Kennedy. That evening, though, she wore another stunning look to the inaugural ball.
That night, she wore a silk column gown that seemed genuinely timeless…something that could have been worn at the height of the Roman Empire just as easily as it was worn to a 21st-century inauguration. If you’re wondering about the pricetag, this gown is literally priceless, as it was never listed for sale by designer Hervé Pierre. After the event, Melania donated the dress to the National Museum of American History, where we can only assume it will be studied by future generations of fashionistas.
And even if you’re not a fashionista, you can certainly enjoy how well Melania wore this dress as she and Donald Trump danced into a new age for themselves and for their children.
Be best–er, blouse
Even before Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Melania Trump was still rocking some FLOTUS-worthy ‘fits. This includes a punk Gucci blouse that she wore to her husband’s second debate with Hillary Clinton. Melania looks undeniably stunning in this blouse, but she certainly paid for the privilege. As near as we can tell, this outfit cost her at least $1,100, putting it out of the price range of most people looking for a cute weekend outfit.
Of course, by Melania Trump’s standards, this is one of her more affordable outfits. If nothing else, this proves that you don’t have to drop a large fortune to look so glam. Instead, you only have to drop a small fortune! However, those of us without the cash to spare for such a brilliant blouse will have to settle for just staring at Melania and how good she looks in this blouse.

Wedding bells, wedding bills
Now you have a better idea of just how much money Melania Trump spends on outfits, whether she’s attending a presidential debate or serving one killer look after another on inauguration day. With all that in mind, how much money do you think she spent on her wedding dress? Here’s a hint: no matter what number you’re thinking, you’ll need to go higher!
After previously stunning everyone with an engagement ring worth $1.5 million, Melania appeared on her wedding rocking a $98,000 Dior dress. What made this gorgeous dress cost so much? Well, the 13-foot train wasn’t cheap, but that pales in comparison to the 1,500 assorted pearls and rhinestones on the dress that helped Melania twinkle with all the brilliance of the evening sky!
It’s not uncommon for brides to change into something a bit more comfortable for the reception. As for Melania, she eventually swapped out the Dior gown for a Vera Wang number that featured a sleeveless neckline. As usual, Melania is proof that you can be comfortable while still being perfectly stylish!
