It’s been a big week for Melania Trump. After the reveal of her official White House portrait on Monday, in which she wears Dolce Gabbana and Hermès, the First Lady’s fashion choices have drawn more attention than ever. Heads turned today in Washington, D.C., for one, where Trump greeted Queen Rania of Jordan in a form-fitting emerald dress—a simple, streamlined look that felt like a departure from the neutrals and patriotic reds she’s favored in recent months.
Queen Rania struck a similar note with sleek Haider Ackermann ’60s-influenced tailoring and a few neat sculptural details—a white contrasting collar tucked into the lapel and a thin gilded stripe around the waist. Both wore sky-high stilettos in black and optic white, respectively—a sartorial power play, perhaps? Either way, that shared polish was the order of the day.
