A dramatic hat has long been a key component of the Melania Trump compendium of First Lady style. Her wide, statement headpiece recalled the face-eschewing and austere boater-style chapeau designed by Eric Javitts, which she wore to Trump’s second inauguration.

So far, it looks like Melania will be partaking in some sartorial British politeness, and for this occasion, leaving her American designer-heavy wardrobe back in the states. Yesterday evening, she deplaned from Air Force One wearing a tightly cinched Burberry Kensington Heritage trench coat. Dior, who made her skirt suit, is currently being designed by Jonathan Anderson, who is from Northern Ireland.
The Trumps will continue their packed schedule of grand visits, red carpets, and Royal engagements that involves most senior members of the Royal family. This evening, they will be hosted at Windsor Castle for a ceremonial welcome and a state banquet alongside Kate, William, King Charles, and Queen Camilla, as is tradition. Will Melania Trump continue her British sartorial streak or represent the states in style? More to come.
