BLUE COAT DRESS — Melania kept it incognito under a dark blue wool trench coat, which cinched at her waist, and in matching Christian Louboutins. The FLOTUS’ fierce physique proved once a model, always a model. PATTERNED COAT — you can never have too much of a good thing. Case in point: the first lady’s coatdress perfectly matches her shoes. The buttons on the sleeves make for a subtle design detail that adds a lot of impact. PLUM COAT DRESS — the president’s wife proved she has expensive taste in a stunning $4,00 sculptural coatdress by Delpozo. The former model looked absolutely presidential in the plum ensemble, which she paired with electric blue pumps. RED COATDRESS — Mrs Trump paired her red coatdress with matching gloves and her staple pair of Gucci sunglasses and nude Jimmy Choo high heels. Alice Roi, who designed the crimson coatdress, told The Hollywood Reporter, “The coat dress is a favourite of Melania’s and the FLOTUS “is definitively responsible for its revival”. STATEMENT COAT — the FLOTUS proved a coatdress doesn’t have to be boring. With the right textures and colour palette, a topper, like the First Lady Melania Trump’s Fendi piece, will work for any occasion. Published in Daily Times, November 14th 2017.
