The Most Fabulous Outfits Nancy Reagan Ever Wore

Talk about lady in red.

Nancy Reagan wasn't only a first lady. She was also an actress and a style icon.

During her time in the White House, Reagan wore stunning couture designed by major designers like Oscar de la Renta and Bill Blass. Her penchant for beautiful ensembles garnered lots of attention from the fashion community. In fact, she received a lifetime achievement award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1988.

In celebration of what would have been her 95th birthday on July 6, we're taking a look back at some of her most iconic looks throughout time. Between her signature red suits and those stunning ball gowns, it's pretty clear that Reagan had style in spades.
