Melania Trump turned heads as she joined Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday. The US First Lady wore a khaki coat dress that cost a staggering £1215. Who pays for her designer looks?

Her garment cut off just above the knees showing off her bare legs.

Melania completed the ensemble with a pair of zig zag patterned black and white high heel shoes.

Her olive green military coat is from Victoria Beckham, with similar pieces on sale for £1215.

Earlier this month, Melania made another rare appearance during the pandemic on a video posted on Instagram.

DON’T MISS

She was seen wearing the linen Kelly green shirt dress from Cefinn, which cost £295.

Melania is no stranger to wearing designer pieces and will often show off her extensive collection.

In 2019, she spent an eye-watering £193,694 on her clothes, according to reports on her outfits.

She will also often wear pieces that cannot be identified meaning the total sum of her outfits is sure to be more.

Spending so much time in the public eye, Melania may also receive discounts from certain clothing brands.

In the United States, First Ladies in the past have been allowed to accept discounts on clothing.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, her spokesperson previously stated Melania “pays for all her own clothes.”

Charity

On May 7 2018, Melania launched her flagship campaign as First Lady, BE BEST, which The White House describes as “an awareness campaign focused entirely around the well-being of children”.
