Melania Trump sent shockwaves around the globe after she graced the world stage in a sophisticated ensemble when her husband was sworn in as the 47th US President. The First Lady, 54, stunned onlookers in a designer outfit that paid a subtle tribute to the Royal Family.
Donald Trump’s wife stepped out in a long, tailored navy-blue coat by American designer Adam Lippes which she paired with a matching boater hat. The timeless look was very similar to designs Meghan Markle has worn over the years.
The former model has developed a unique style that has been widely compared to Meghan Markle after being noted for her smart business wear, which is reflected in her new portraits. Melania and Meghan, 43, love clean and minimal looks.
Meanwhile, the chosen fashion designer, Adam Lippes, has direct ties to the monarchy as the genius behind Princess Eugenie’s Trooping the Colour ensemble from the summer of 2017. Melania’s carefully curated design cost over £5,000 and sparked a frenzy worldwide, with onlookers swooning over the masterpiece.
