Melania Trump wraps up in a $2,700 puffy coat and heeled boots to meet with military families
in Alaska, as her husband continues his Asia tour in Vietnam without her
Melania Trump was all bundled up for her trip to Alaska, where she met with military families
and children at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The 47-year-old first lady looked cozy, yet
chic as she stepped off the aircraft in Anchorage in a $2,690 Ralph Lauren down coat and headed
to meet with children who participate in the Paws to Read program at the military base.
While Melania was in Alaska with her husband's son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner,
President Trump traveled to Vietnam with White House Communications Director Hope Hicks.
Melania wore her plaid, olive green coat open as walked off the aircraft, showing off her
orange turtleneck sweater and her cream skinny jeans.
The former model completed her look with a pair taupe suede boots featuring a series
of buckles around the ankles and a chunky heel.
The first lady kept her coat on upon her arrival at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, where
she had the opportunity to check out some of the military programs available to the
children who live on the base. Paws to Read is a program where children read
out loud to pets as a way to enhance their reading skills and help build confidence.
During her visit, Melania was photographed leaning over her chair with her hands clasped
together as she happily watched a little boy read to the dog lying next to him.
The friendly pooch was decked out in a military vest, and while the dog didn't appear to be
too interested in the story, Melania was all ears.
Melania also sat down at a children's size table with a group of kids who showed her
how to make instruments using Popsicle sticks and paper.
Her visit to the base came was part of a refueling stop as she made her way back to Washington,
D.C. after spending the past week traveling with her husband during his 12-day tour throughout
Asia. Melania's weather-appropriate outfit was a
far cry from the ornate gown she wore during a state dinner in Beijin, China, the night
before. The first lady wowed in a Gucci fur trim dress
with an ornate pattern reminiscent of traditional Chinese clothing.
She exuded plenty of confidence as she strode in five-inch, baby pink stilettos, which matched
the fur lining of her sleeves, next to her Chinese counterpart, Peng Liyuan.
The two first ladies walked in with their husbands, Presidents Trump and Xi, for the
occasion held at Beijing's Great Hall of the People.
Melania might have gotten a bit of style inspiration from the actress Margot Robbie, who wore the
same Gucci dress at the premiere of The Legend Of Tarzan in June last year.
Earlier on Thursday, the first lady also wowed in the style department in a custom Dolce
& Gabbana gown, thought to have cost at least $3,975.
She donned the floor-length number during a welcome ceremony also thrown at the Great
Hall of the People, and while visiting a primary school with Madame Peng.
Melania happily took up a paintbrush and ink under the watchful eye of the young students
at Banchang Primary School. As well as greeting the young students and
joining in with some of their lessons, the VIP guests were also treated to a special,
cultural performance from students. Both Melania and Madame Peng were photographed
smiling and clapping after the show, surrounded by a group of beaming schoolchildren.
While Melania was clearly in the spotlight during Thursday's state dinner, 29-year-old
Hope has upstaged her on a couple of occasions during President Trump's trip around Asia.
The duo joined the president in South Korea on Wednesday to listen to his address at the
National Assembly in Seoul. Hope looked notably chic in a grey turtleneck
sweater as she sat a few rows behind the mother of one and just a few feet away from the president's
son-in-law Jared.
The White House communications director cut a simple but chic silhouette in her sweater
with puff shoulders. She wore her signature blowout during the event, and was seen tossing
her long blond hair over her shoulder as she fixed her earpiece to listen to the commander
in chief. Melania also went for a classic look in an
all-black outfit featuring a black blazer cinched at the waist with a matching belt.
The first lady, who wore her hair in a blowout like Hope, was all smiles as she settled in
ahead of her husband's address. Hope is a former Trump Organization employee.
She has in the past worked inside the Trump Tower and helped Ivanka grow her fashion line,
before President Trump hired her away when he decided to run for president.
Hope and Jared are both featured in the picture taken aboard Air Force One, which sees several
key members of Trump's inner circle - including White House Director of Social Media and Assistant
to the President Dan Scavino and Stephen Miller, a senior advisor for policy, posing with their
thumbs up while posing next to the president. The group looks very cozy in the image; Jared
can be seen with his arm casually resting on Hope's shoulder while Stephen has his arm
around her waist, as they all smile happily for the cameras.
All three were traveling with President Trump during first leg of his five-country tour
of Asia, while his daughter Ivanka has remained at home in Washington, D.C.
On Monday, the ever-glamorous Melania faced some serious competition in the style stakes,
once again courtesy of Hope. Both women showed their support for President
Trump while attending a state banquet in Tokyo; however, while the first lady chose a very
traditional floor-length gown for the occasion, Hope spiced things up a bit, ensuring she
stood out from the crowd in a chic tuxedo. Hope wore the tailored black suit with a traditional
white tuxedo shirt, accessorizing the look with an oversized black bow tie worn at her
neck at the event, which was hosted by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the Akasaka Palace
in Tokyo, to mark Trump's visit. Hope wore her long hair down in a blowout
and added a splash of color to her monochromatic look with a slick of bold pink lipstick, finishing
off her make-up with a smokey eye. In contrast to Hope's androgynous style option,
Melania donned a bright red, floor-length gown with short sleeves on the occasion.
She paired the glamorous number with a low hairdo and diamond earrings, and she also
sported a smoky eye. While Melania is making her way back to Washington,
D.C., Hope was photographed at the Beijing Airport on Friday ahead of the president's
trip to Vietnam. Although the White House communications director
has been turning it up in the style department for most of the tour, she didn't look quiet
as put together in her wrinkled collared shirt as she waited to board Air Force One.
Hope paired the ill-fitting button-down with black trousers and black pumps, and at one
point she had her long, highlighted hair pulled up in an uncharacteristic high ponytail.
The former model had a large brown leather carryall in the crook of her arm, and she
carried a Louis Vuitton duffel bag ahead of her flight with the president.
While waiting outside on the tarmac, Hope wore her sunglasses on the top of her head
as the breeze blew through her hair, which she had pulled back down.
It's been a whirlwind week for Hope who started the tour by giving First Lady Melania Trump
a run for her money in the fashion department. Within a week, Hope went from donning a ladylike
pink dress in Hawaii to donning a wrinkled men's shirt on her way to Vietnam.
