The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, arrived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia yesterday, adhering to the country’s modest Islamic dress code in a black, long-sleeved Stella McCartney jumpsuit. With its wide-leg silhouette, flared long sleeves and high neckline, the billowing one-piece acted as Trump’s very own alternative to an abaya. The First Lady, who was accompanying her husband on his first foreign trip, accessorized her jumpsuit with a gold python belt by Saint Laurent and a matching chunky chain-link necklace. A pair of pointy Christian Louboutin pumps completed the look.
Jumpsuits appear to be Trump’s sartorial go-to for high-profile occasions. In the past, she wore a Ralph Lauren one-piece to the final presidential debate, and another by the same American designer on election night. With their fuss-free comfort (and not to mention, jumpsuits look great on every body type), we can certainly see why a versatile single-piece outfit is at the forefront of her wardrobe.
