On Tuesday evening, the first lady stepped off Air Force One in an ankle-length trench coat from Burberry.
She paired the jacket with Christian Dior Empreinte leather riding boots and a black, long-sleeve shirt, which peeked out from underneath the collar.
The jacket’s length elevated the trench, making it feel like more of a statement piece than it would have been if it had hit at the knee.
On Wednesday, Melania Trump met the royal family at Windsor Castle in one of her signature neutral-toned looks, designed by Dior.
Buttons lined both sides of her gray blazer, which cinched at the waist before flaring. The jacket coordinated with her pencil skirt and hit just below the knee.
She paired the set with pumps and a wide-brimmed purple hat that subtly matched Trump’s tie.
Lauren Rothman, a style strategist who works with business leaders and politicians, told Business Insider that Melania Trump’s hat reinforced “her role as a visual equal to the king and Camilla.”
In stark contrast to the subdued looks she has worn for much of 2025, the first lady wore a bright yellow Carolina Herrera dress to the state banquet at Windsor Castle, which had a white-tie dress code.
The off-the-shoulder dress had long sleeves and a slit that cut up one side of the floor-length skirt, making the ensemble feel daring. A wide purple belt cinched Melania Trump’s waist, and the lavender contrasted with the yellow on the skirt.
She brought even more color to the look with green, dangly earrings. Nude pumps completed the outfit.
The dress was certainly a departure from the hues Melania Trump has worn lately. However, since her husband’s second term began, the first lady has been wearing American brands more frequently, and Carolina Herrera, a New York-based fashion house, fits that theme.
Melania Trump’s colorful banquet dress seemed to be a one-off for the UK trip, as she was once again wearing muted tones on Thursday for a tour of Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House and the Royal Library with Queen Camilla.
The first lady wore a brown leather jacket and skirt from Louis Vuitton. Both garments’ pockets and hems were trimmed with cream embroidery, and the collar of her blazer was scalloped. She paired the look with coordinating Manolo Blahnik pumps.
The detailing made the ensemble stand out despite its neutral color.
Later on Thursday, the first lady spent time in Frogmore Gardens at Windsor Castle with Kate Middleton, where they met with members of the Scouts’ Squirrels program.
Both the princess and the first lady chose Ralph Lauren garments for the engagement. The designer made Kate’s midi skirt and boots, as well as Melania Trump’s suede jacket.
The first lady’s jacket was belted at the waist, which has become a go-to silhouette for her when it comes to blazers. She wore the jacket with cream trousers and brown flats.
Ralph Lauren is arguably the most iconic American designer, making it a fitting choice for Melania Trump to wear to close out the trip.
