Melania Trump's State Visit to Windsor Castle: A Fashionable Affair
Melania Trump and President Donald Trump are currently in the UK for a three-day state visit, and the fashion world is abuzz with anticipation. The visit, which is taking place while Buckingham Palace is under renovation, will see the couple hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.
The visit marks Melania Trump's second UK state visit, and she has already made a stylish impression. During her meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, she donned a Dolce & Gabbana white midi dress, classic pump heels, and a wide-brimmed hat. However, it was her choice of outerwear that truly caught the eye - a sand-colored Burberry trench coat, a deliberate and diplomatic choice given the coat's quintessentially British design.
The Burberry trench coat, with its double-breasted design and cinched waist, was a nod to traditional British style, and it's likely that Melania Trump will continue to cycling through designers like The Row, Celine, Hermes, and Irish milliner Phillip Treacy, as she did for the rest of her visit in 2019.
For the grand state banquet, Melania Trump may make another headline-making fashion statement. Her design partner for the current state visit is Herve Pierre, and she has been spotted in Dior's Empreinte riding boots, black, knee-high boots with a gold "CD" clasp at the ankle.
The fashion choices during the visit may be intended to project deference rather than dominance, given the strained US-UK relations. However, one thing is for certain - Melania Trump's style is always a topic of conversation, and this visit is no exception.
In addition to the fashion, there is a large drone operation in the UK to safeguard Windsor during the Trumps' stay. The visit is a significant event, and the US is pulling out all the stops to ensure a smooth visit for the First Lady and President.
