As highly visible public figures, first ladies choose their clothes carefully. Their outfits have historically served as important tools in crafting their legacies — and occasionally sending subtle messages.

First ladies have also been known to drive fashion trends by popularizing certain styles and causing the items they wear to sell out instantly.

Here are some of the most expensive outfits first ladies have worn.

In 2009, Michelle Obama garnered criticism for wearing $540 Lanvin sneakers to a food bank.
