Melania Trump spends thousands on designer clothes – who pays for her pricey looks?

As the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump is usually seen out supporting Donald Trump in his political role. Formerly working as a model, it is no surprise she has a love of fashion and always looks chic when she is out. It is clear the First Lady has no shortage of designer garments and is rarely spotted wearing anything more than once. Since entering the White House, her wardrobe has been brimming with pricey designer gowns, but who pays for these items?

When she landed in the UK, the First Lady showed off her love to the UK with a midi shirt dress which had London landmarks drawn on it.

The green, red and white dress, from Gucci, set her back an eye-watering £3482.

To attend a dinner with Prince Charles, Melania wore a stunning red cape dress by Givenchy which cost a huge £5610.

So who pays for her designer outfits?

Melania Trump has an estimated net worth of around £39.6 million which means she could easily foot the bill for her clothes.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Melania might get a discount from certain clothing brands as they would be keen to get their designs into the public eye.

Previous First Ladies of the United States have been allowed to accept items of clothing as gifts.

In a statement in Bustle, Melania’s spokesperson confirmed she covered the cost of all her clothes herself.

Donald Trump reportedly has a fortune of around £2.5 billion and it is likely he could also treat her to some of her designer garments.

The former model has been with Donald Trump since they first met at a party in 1998.
