A look at First Lady Melania Trump's style, from inauguration weekend until today.
First Lady Melania Trump has a clearly defined sense of style. "I like to dress nicely. I always say that it’s easy to put on a nice dress," President Trump's wife told HELLO! back in 2011. "Sometimes, you’re in a hurry and you put on the t-shirt and slacks and beautiful jewelry and drop off your child at school. You don’t have time to do hair and make-up and get ready completely." Here's what has been in the former model's wardrobe since she officially became America's first lady.
