Melania Trump's first lady style

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 HOLA!'s sister brand 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.

However, wherever women are empowered, towns and villages, schools and economies are empowered, and together we are all made strong with them,” Melania continued. “We need to continue working toward gender empowerment and respect for people from all backgrounds and ethnicities, always remembering that together we are one race — the human race — and each one of us has unique gifts and talents to share with the world.”
