First girls could share a reasonably related, basic look throughout their time within the White Home, however as soon as upon a time, they had been brides, and the clothes they picked for his or her huge days put their private types on full show. And fortuitously for anybody impressed by FLOTUSes previous and current, you could even be capable of discover one thing related in a thrift store in the present day.

We’ll begin with Melania Trump, who wore two clothes on her and Donald’s notoriously costly wedding ceremony day. In fact, we would not dare recommend her Dior wedding ceremony robe might be present in a thrift store now (although there was a rumor it was obtainable on eBay). Nonetheless, her second lewk for the night simply could be. We’re speaking concerning the low-cut, tight-fitting Vera Wang robe with a slit within the entrance, which can nicely have been inspo for promenade clothes within the years that adopted. A surprising look, little doubt — although somewhat complicated, contemplating Melania tends to favor extra basic traces, and this was giving extra boho-beachy vibes. Both approach, that is one costume we might love to search out in a consignment retailer.

One other first girl wedding ceremony costume we might don’t have any drawback selecting up at a thrift retailer? Michelle Obama’s off-shoulder quantity. The lawyer seemed statuesque on her wedding ceremony day, and although the off-shoulder look is definitely somewhat dated, we might argue that was in one of the best ways. To borrow from “Intercourse and the Metropolis” character Anthony Marantino, the whole look had us going, “Now, there is a bride.”

Michelle has undergone fairly the type transformation through the years, however we have got to say her wedding ceremony lewk stays a standout. 

The place Michelle Obama’s wedding ceremony robe screamed “bride,” her predecessor’s was extremely pared-back. In truth, along with being beige and two-toned slightly than wedding ceremony white, Enterprise Insider has even reported that the coordinated prime and skirt had been additionally ready-to-wear clothes.

Due to how basic the look was, we would not be shocked to see an identical lewk pop up in a thrift retailer in the present day. Granted, it would not even be a stretch to discover a brand-new iteration of the identical factor. In any case, in certainly one of her least inappropriate outfits, Ivanka Trump wore one thing related for the World Ladies’s Discussion board Dubai in 2020. 

No, you are not Kitty Forman (or a throwback pic of Debra Jo Rupp on her wedding ceremony day — the “That 70s Present” actor is just not married IRL). That is Hillary Clinton in all her ’70s bride glory. 

Hillary shared on “The Drew Barrymore Present” that her costume wasn’t simply off-the-rack, but in addition a fast purchase from Dillard’s, and the one one she tried on (the Clintons needed to kickstart their marriage ASAP — no “Say Sure to the Gown” marathons, right here!). Check out your native thrift retailer and you may most likely discover one thing related in the present day.

Shifting from not-really-wedding robes to the true deal, subsequent up we now have Barbara Bush, who wore a extra conventional satin wedding ceremony robe and veil. 

Although she definitely seemed beautiful on her huge day, Barbara’s costume was much more dated than her daughter-in-law’s a number of years later, largely due to the material. Not that that is put any damper on the costume’s significance. In any case, it isn’t precisely untold that Barbara’s robe (or at the very least a reproduction of it) is on everlasting show on the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library & Museum in Texas.

Again to the less-traditional wedding ceremony clothes donned by former first girls, Nancy Reagan opted to not put on a marriage costume in any respect. As a substitute, she rocked an elegant two-tone skirt swimsuit (Laura Bush, wya?). Maybe she made the selection as a result of she wasn’t Ronald Reagan’s first spouse — although it is also potential the actor needed to make an announcement.

Whereas we do not see many brides going for one thing related in the present day, we definitely would not be shocked to see Melania Trump put on one thing related for an occasion (although it most likely would not be thrifted). As with Barbara Bush’s, this wedding ceremony lewk is in Nancy’s husband’s presidential library. 

Discuss prioritizing her “One thing blue” — Betty Ford wore a blue satin costume with blazer-style lapels for her wedding ceremony to Gerald Ford. Even with the shocking shade, we like it! What’s extra, along with probably discovering one thing related in a thrift retailer, as with Laura Bush’s wedding ceremony outfit, it is a one-line type brides would don’t have any drawback discovering in a extra mainstream retailer in the present day.

Contemplating first girl vogue sometimes features a regular rotation of timeless classics, it is fairly fascinating to see simply how rebellious a number of the previous FLOTUSes had been on their wedding ceremony days. Maybe due to that rebelliousness, they’ve saved us speaking even years later — and sure, we’re already planning our subsequent thrift store tour.
