Melania Trump wears £10k worth of dresses during 48 hours in Japan

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump became the first foreign leaders to meet Japan’s newly appointed Emperor Naruhito this weekend.

The Trumps arrived in Tokyo for a four-day state visit on Saturday, the first of the Reiwa era. The historic trip saw the President and First Lady take part in several traditional activities, including a visit to the Digital Art Museum, tasting local delicacies at the Inakaya restaurant and watching Sumo wrestling.

Melania decked out her wardrobe with plenty of glamorous outfits for the occasion, with the past 48 hours alone seeing FLOTUS don over £10,000 worth of dresses. 

On Sunday, the 49-year-old joined prime minister Shinzo Abe’s wife, Akie Abe, at Akasaka Palace. Melania chose to wear a simple white midi dress with floral embroidered detail by Carolina Herrera, paired with statement red heels. The modern dress currently retails for £5,847.

In the evening, the Trumps attended a lavish state banquet at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, for which, Melania changed into a pale blush caped gown with metallic embroidered feathers by US designer J. Mendel, also a favourite designer of former first lady Michelle Obama. The £4,212 number is now sold out.

For her final ensemble of the state visit, Melania chose a vibrant orange floral print coat dress with neon yellow heels. The eye-catching design, from Dries Van Noten’s spring/summer 2019 collection, is currently being sold for £1,000.

With Melania set to step foot in London for a state visit next week, prepare to see plenty more extravagant wardrobe choices.
