Flaunting it: Melania Trump wears US$51,000 Dolce & Gabbana jacket at the G7 in Sicily
Jacket is several thousand dollars below the US median income in 2015
Melania Trump’s first outing in the Sicilian sunshine was in a colourful floral applique jacket by Dolce & Gabbana that sells for US$51,000, or several thousand dollars below the median US income in 2015.
She also carried a matching clutch to lunch with spouses of the G-7 leaders, held at the historic Elephants Palace and hosted by Catania’s mayor.
The burst of colour in the US first lady’s wardrobe came after a steady dose of mostly black during President Donald Trump’s inaugural overseas tour, including a prim black lace dress with a matching mantilla headcover that she wore to meet Pope Francis, and a dark jacket with golden detailing on the cuff and collar that she wore for her arrival in Italy. Both outfits were also by Milan designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
Gabbana has celebrated each appearance with Instagram posts. He shared three photos of the floral jacket, worn over a simple white shift dress, with Mrs Trump looking model-perfect as she stepped out of an SUV. Gabbana tagged the photo with hearts and a “Thank You” to @flotus #melaniatrump.
Dolce & Gabbana have made Sicily their fashion muse, so it made sense that Trump’s wife would wear their designs in Sicily, the final stop on Trump’s trip.
