Melania Trump drew comparisons to Jackie Kennedy with her choice of outfit for Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday, but how does she compare to the most recent First Lady Michelle Obama?
While both Melania and Michelle have championed American designers, their styles differ greatly, as the outfits they each wore to their husband's inauguration show.

As predicted, Melania Trump wore a Ralph Lauren ensemble for Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday. The 46-year-old channelled Jackie Kennedy in the powder blue suit, which featured a cropped jacket and knee-length dress, accessorized with suede gloves and matching court shoes.

While Michelle also wore a US designer for Barack Obama's inauguration in January 2009, she opted to showcase an outfit from lesser known Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo, dramatically boosting the brand's profile in the process.

Michelle teamed the bespoke lemongrass coloured dress and matching coat with green J. Crew gloves and contrasting court shoes, creating a memorable ensemble for a historic day.
