Melania Trump’s Style — Best Outfits

Melania Trump’s Style — Best Outfits — Former model Melania Trump was known as a fashionista even before she stepped foot into the White House. Born in Slovenia, Donald Trump’s third wife, is no stranger to designer labels and was already a stylish dresser when her husband was better known as a real estate mogul and reality TV star than a Republican politician. The mom-of-one has never been a flashy or gaudy person when it comes to clothes and prefers to rock a sleek, classic look.

After her husband’s divisive presidential campaign, several designers refused to work with and dress the First Lady, making it very clear that they didn’t want their labels associated with the Trump Administration. Those who took a stand include Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford. The fashion world didn’t completely turn its back on Mrs. Trump. FLOTUS has worn Gucci, as well as Dolce & Gabbana.

Melania Trump certainly knows a good outfit when she sees one. We’re taking a look at some of her looks here.
