Nancy Reagan's wardrobe consisted of dresses, gowns, and suits made by luxury designers, including James Galanos, Bill Blass and Oscar de la Renta.

Her white, hand-beaded, one shoulder Galanos 1981 inaugural gown was estimated to cost $ 10, 000 while the overall price of her inaugural wardrobe was said to cost $ 25, 000.

She favored the color red, calling it " a picker-upper ", and wore it accordingly.

Her wardrobe included red so often that the fire-engine shade became known as " Reagan red ".

She employed two private hairdressers who would style her hair on a regular basis in the White House.
