Price: $595 (available at Neiman Marcus) Where She Wore Them: Departing for Texas for the first time to visit victims of Hurricane Harvey on August 29, 2017. Why They Stood Out: While Melania has slipped into pricier shoes for sure, many people were outraged that the FLOTUS would wear a designer item like this one when so many families lost their belongings in the storm. What's more, these shoes aren't exactly practical for walking through a devastated area. Manolo Blahnik weighed in on the controversy, telling Harper's Bazaar UK, "I think probably she could have worn Hunter boots but she was wearing what she was wearing. I'm not good at advising people on what to wear because they wear what they want to."
