Following in the footsteps of Michelle Obama, British Prime Minister Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, both Ivanka and Melania dressed conservatively but went without headscarves, despite President Trump criticising Michelle Obama previously for not wearing one when she visited the country in 2015.

Speaking about her visit last week the First Lady admitted she was looking forward to meeting new people and experiencing different cultures on her first official political tour; “I am very excited for the upcoming trip,” she said in a statement released on Friday. “This will not just be an opportunity to support my husband as he works on important matters of national security and foreign relations, it will also be my honor to visit and speak with women and children from different countries, with different perspective.”
Spending time at a local school during her stop over, Melania donned a midi-length khaki dress another large waist belt and paired the look with gold platforms.
