Popsugar Fashion Celebrity Fashion Melania Trump's Shoes You Need All Your Fingers and Toes to Count Melania Trump's Most-Talked-About Shoes 5 January 2018 by Sarah Wasilak Image Source: Getty When you think of Melania Trump's footwear, the Manolo Blahnik pumps she wore to visit victims of Hurricane Harvey might first come to mind. These shoes take the lead in controversy as far as the FLOTUS's wardrobe goes. But from the time she stepped into the White House at the Inauguration (wearing a pair of powder blue stilettos that matched her Ralph Lauren coat so closely, we couldn't believe it), Melania's been cementing her footprint in designer. Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin are behind some of her most-talked-about looks, but you might be surprised to learn that Melania also owns Adidas Stan Smiths and Converse sneakers. The question is: does she wear them on the right occasion? Read on to track 18 of Melania's most infamous shoe moments. 1 Melania's Blue Inauguration Heels Image Source: Getty / Pool Melania wore a blue Ralph Lauren look on Inauguration Day in January 2017.

In June 2017, Melania arrived at the White House wearing the same shoes, which finished her combination of a Dolce & Gabbana tank, Bally pants, and her Hermès Birkin bag. 4 / 23 4 Melania's Red-and-White Striped Pumps Image Source: Getty / HEIDI LEVINE During her visit to the Western Wall in May 2017, Melania chose to pair her Michael Kors Collection suit with a striking pair of shoes: red and white striped stilettos with a pattern similar to the brown Manolo Blahnik pair. 5 / 23 5 Melania's Lace Heels at the Vatican Image Source: Getty / VINCENZO PINTO Dolce & Gabbana dressed Melania for her visit with the pope in May 2017. Melania followed protocol by covering up with a veil, but D&G designers received backlash for designing her look, which matched perfectly in shade and texture to her shoes. 6 / 23 Image Source: Getty / Vatican Pool 7 / 23 6 Melania's Manolo Blahnik Gingham Heels Image Source: Getty / MANDEL NGAN The pumps were the perfect match to her Michael Kors Collection jacquard coat dress when she met the King of Belgium in May 2017. 8 / 23 7 Melania's Bejeweled Heels in Sicily Image Source: Getty / TIZIANA FABI Melania wore this glittering Dolce & Gabbana dress in Sicily in May 2017 (remember the $51,000 coat she wore from the fashion house on the same trip?). She slipped into these shiny gemstone-clad heels to complete the outfit. 9 / 23 8 Melania's Floral Christian Louboutin Pumps Image Source: Getty / Pool Melania's bright Michael Kors Collection shift was no match for the vibrant floral pumps she wore to greet Panama's president in June 2017. 10 / 23 9 Melania's Sky-High Christian Louboutin Pumps Image Source: Getty / Morris MacMatzen These super-tall white shoes played up Melania's dental-white flapper dress, designed by Michael Kors for the G20 Summit in July 2017. 11 / 23 10 Melania's Purple Manolo Blahnik Heels Image Source: Getty / JANEK SKARZYNSKI On the day she styled this graphic colourblock Delpozo dress with the shoes, Melania even received a model of a pink stiletto to signify her lineup of eye-catching footwear in Warsaw, Poland in July 2017. 12 / 23 11 Melania's Pink Christian Louboutin Heels Image Source: Getty / Chip Somodevilla Melania owns designer heels in more shades of pink than we can count, but she matched these in particular to a lace Monique Lhuillier dress while travelling to Ohio in July 2017. 13 / 23 12 Melania's Manolo Blahnik "Hurricane Harvey" Heels Image Source: Getty / NICHOLAS KAMM Perhaps the most widespread shoe topic was this one: Melania wore black stilettos to visit victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas following the disaster in August 2017. Twitter users called out her insensitivity, since she was on her way to see families who lost all of their belongings in the storm. Later Manolo Blahnik weighed in on the issue, saying, "I don't think she's insensitive. I think she's working non-stop to make it work — possibly she was just wearing the shoes she left New York in. Yes, I think probably she could have worn Hunter boots but she was wearing what she was wearing." 14 / 23 13 Melania's Manolo Blahnik Snakeskin Pumps Image Source: Getty / Pool For a second visit to Texas, Melania wore these snakeskin heels, which sparked just as much backlash as her first pair. Close-ups on her heels made their way around the internet as she boarded Marine One in September 2017. 15 / 23 Image Source: Getty / Pool 16 / 23 Image Source: Getty / Win McNamee Melania wore the same shoes shortly after, styling them with a Veronica Beard military jacket to visit Joint Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland in September 2017. 17 / 23 14 Melania's Leopard Pumps Image Source: Getty / Win McNamee After receiving backlash for her snakeskin shoes, Melania slipped into this olive ruffled dress with leopard heels in September 2017, continuing to show off the flashy side of her shoe closet. 18 / 23 15 Melania's Converse Image Source: Getty / Alex Wong The FLOTUS owns classic Converse in two colours.

In September 2017, she departed from the White House wearing the shoes with a neutral outfit to head to Florida following Hurricane Irma. 22 / 23 18 Melania's Christian Louboutin So Kate Heels Image Source: Getty / DON EMMERT These $675 shoes finished Melania's much-buzzed-about $3,000 Delpozo dress, which she wore to give a speech on bullying at the United Nations in September 2017. 23 / 23 Celebrity FashionFirst LadyFlotusMelania TrumpSneakersDesignerShoesHeelsDonald TrumpRalph Lauren
