Of Melania Trump, expensive dresses and her fashion sense
United States First Lady Melania Trump might be deserving of criticism for a lot of things, but her fashion sense isn't one of them (well, unless it gets political). On Sunday, the First Lady wore a dazzling jumpsuit during her state visit to Japan with her husband, President Donald Trump. In case you want to recreate her look, here's how much it cost you.
Melania wore a navy silk jumpsuit by Loro Piana
The 49-year-old was visiting the Mori Building Digital Art Museum with Akie Abe, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe's wife, and wore a navy silk jumpsuit by Loro Piana with white piping at the cuffs and lapels. According to Footwear News, the jumpsuit retails for $3,500 (Rs. 2.43 lakh). She paired it with a chunky belt and switched from routine high heels to comfortable flats.
Later on Sunday, the Trumps attended a sumo wrestling match
Later on Sunday evening, the US President and the First Lady joined the Japanese Prime Minister and his wife Akie for dinner at the Inakaya restaurant in the Roppongi district of Tokyo, followed by an annual summer sumo wrestling championship in the city.
Trumps arrived in Japan on Saturday
This is the Trumps' second visit to Japan since entering the White House. They landed in Tokyo on Saturday, ahead of a ceremonial visit to recognize the new emperor. The Trumps met with Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan on Monday, where the First Lady wore a $4,290 (Rs. 2.98 lakh) white Carolina Herrera dress with floral detailing and red pumps.
Melania immersed into Japanese culture while POTUS attended meetings
After a brief welcome ceremony at the Akasaka Palace Annex, the First Lady enjoyed a series of performances, including dance, music and floral arrangements, as she immersed herself into Japan's rich culture. Meanwhile, the President attended meetings and a press conference with the Japanese PM.
Melania's gown from Imperial Palace dinner even more expensive
For the six-course dinner with the Emperor and Empress at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Monday, the First Lady chose a stunning J. Mendel floor-length caftan gown that featured silver feather-embroidery and a cape draping over the shoulders. The gown is worth $4,490 (Rs. 3.12 lakh). She accessorized her look with diamond studded earrings and silver pumps, matching the embroidery on the gown.
