All eyes were on Melania Trump as she and President Donald Trump touched down in the United Kingdom for their second-ever official state visit.

Melania stepped off Air Force One wearing a floor length Burberry trench coat as she walked across the tarmac at London Stansted Airport.

The coat was tightly tied around her waist, paired with a pair of Saint Laurent flat top sunglasses and Christian Dior Empreinte leather riding boots.

But it was her outfit for the state dinner that has people talking.

However, Melania abandoned the trend during the first official events of the State visit, arriving at Windsor castle in a statement hat and suit from a French fashion house.

The First Lady arrived wearing a timeless, dark grey suit by Dior, with her wide-brimmed purple hat stealing the show.

Celebrity stylist and Vogue contributor Marian Kwei told the BBC that the hat hiding the top half of Melania’s face was an intentional decision.

“[It’s] pointing to a stance where she wants all eyes on her husband and his agenda while here,” she said.

Kwei also noted that Melania matching her hat to her husband’s tie was a nod of support for his “agenda”, and that the decision to wear Dior was a nod to America’s support for Europe.
