  • Donald Trump’s Slovenian-American wife is the very picture of poise, and her steely style is bolstered by sharp dressing with pieces from all the top fashion houses, like Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci
  • On a state visit to the UK, Melania wore a military-inspired Celine trench coat with black accessories, including a Hermès crocodile Birkin bag – here we deconstruct that look

There is no doubt that Melania Trump has always had a love of designer duds. Her four-year tenure as first lady to her husband Donald Trump saw her wear impeccably made pieces and bold accessories from a string of top-notch brands such as Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci.
Sadly the 53-year-old just lost her mother, Amalija Knavs, but in happier times has never failed to hit the high notes with her first-rate fashion choices. On a state visit to the UK in 2019 for instance, the Slovenian-American donned a military-inspired trench coat from French fashion house Celine (she first wore the timeless staple in 2018). To add the finishing touches to her camel-coloured look, Trump opted for black accessories, which included a belt, gloves and a Hermès crocodile Birkin bag.

We’d expect nothing less from the clearly label-conscious socialite – but here’s your guide to copping the look.
