Melania Trump's Style Is Worthy Of The White House

Through the most controversial four years in American history, first lady, Melania Trump has handled all of the criticism in style. Whatever your political views, there is no denying that FLOTUS has incredible taste in clothing, all of which provide the Slovenia beauty with a grace that is worthy of - well - the White House.

Melania's Roots

Melania Trump grew up in Slovenia, when it was still part of Yugoslavia and run as a communist country. She grew up in communist housing, in an industrial area, with a view of brick buildings and other dank views. Living in such a bland place, it's no wonder Melanie took to dreaming of a better life, dressed in vibrant colors and luxurious materials.

She built her life around an ideal, but that never included becoming first lady. As many women are, Melania was put in the position of being America's first lady, without necessarily asking for the job. But she has handled it with elegance, putting down roots in a home that she never asked for, but is doing an amazing job of making the most of things.

Where Melanie Gets Her Style

She moved to Milan, Italy at the age of 18 years old, to pursue her dream of becoming a model. Although she had done small modelling jobs since the age of 5, her career didn't pick up until she was in her 20's, when she graced the cover of magazines such as Vanity Fair and Vogue. No doubt, she was able to get a taste of high end fashion, sparking her extraordinary ensembles that grace the White House Halls.

With all of her ambitions and the fact that she married the real estate mogul and television personality with a persona larger than life, she never imagined she would be put under the scrutiny of the world. Anyone would be deflated by the constant ridicule that Melania is faced with, but that does not deter her from looking like she runs the country, and does it with flare. From bright pink, to dazzling white, to stunning shades of blue and yellow, Melania has found effortless elegance.

Her Style Commands More Attention Than Her Husband

It's no secret that Melanie Trump's husband, The President, has been in the public spotlight long before he became the ruler of the free world. Even with all of the controversy, outlandish claims and startling revelations that her husband makes, the first lady's timeless style commands more attention than the commander in chief.

Melania chooses designers that focus on crisp line, flowing fabric and simple patterns. The first lady always manages to wear an outfit that looks like it was specifically designed to suit the setting or event to which she attends or is host to. Even walking through the gardens of the White House, or simply down the corridor to her car, she exudes an elegance that is impossible for anyone to deny.

Fit For Royalty

When the first lady and the president visited the Royal Family in the UK, her outfits were under scrutiny by many, but few could deny they all made her look like royalty. Perhaps her most stunning outfit, seen as a nod to the late Diana, Princess of Whales, was a Dolce and Gabbana white and navy blue dress with a matching hat.

During this same trip, the first lady wore a stunning yellow Valentino wool coat to meet with Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. This was a classic example of how the first lady's style is simple, yet extraordinarily sheik.

Grace Under Pressure

Perhaps more than her hundreds of outfits and accessories, Melania's true style is emitted when she is not worried about public perception. Her social media, as staged as most of it may be, is a collage of photos of a woman who is good and kind.

More so than any modelling job or party she hosts at the White House, Melania Trump exudes beauty, effortlessly, when she is with her favorite guests - children. It is in these photos that the clothes Melania wears, are merely an accessory to her passion and love for these little ones, who need protecting, help and confidence to reach their full potential.

When the first lady visits children's hospitals, or hosts the annual Easter egg hunt at the White House, or has telephone call with the children at Christmas, her smile tells a story of a woman who temporarily forgot that she is constantly under the critical eye of a nation, and is just happy. The cameras capture her greatest beauty, when she seems to forget they are even there.

Whether you believe in the politics of her husband or not, Melania is a timeless beauty who has carried herself with grace despite unfair assumptions. It is clear, regardless of your political standing, that Melania Trump is ever elegant. and could easily step onto a runway at any given time and fit right in.
