In Donald Trump's America, you really don't have to think twice before wearing ridiculously expensive velvet slippers to a presidential address.

Just ask recently confirmed Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, 79, who is believed to have donned a pair of Stubbs & Wootton smoking slippers customized with the Department of Commerce's emblem to hear Trump speak on Tuesday night.

Snazzy, eh?

Now, you may be asking yourself, "Who pays more than like $50 for a good pair of slippers, let alone $495 to $650?"

Wilbur Ross does.

A photograph posted to Twitter by reporter Christina Wilkie shows the many steps Ross may have taken to create his fly, IDGAF kicks on the Stubbs & Wootton website, and boy, it must be interesting to be a billionaire. The "bespoke" options for men range from $525 to $650.

To many, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, it seemed absurd that one would wear slippers to a pretty important event ... or even outside of the house for that matter. And it crossed some minds that perhaps a person with so much money should be putting it toward something more worthwhile?

It did not seem strange to Ross, however. And in fact, the man, somewhat of a slipper aficionado, has worn velvety shoes on other occasions. But hey, it should be noted that some people respected his extreme fashion statement ... kind of.

Who knows, maybe the fashion statement will catch on in Washington.

There are certainly some great slipper options Trump might like for himself, including this green velvet line that would let him display his love for, "money, money, money, money."

Only time will tell.
