Melania Trump still stylish: who pays for the clothes of the first lady?
For her public appearances alongside her husband Donald, Melania Trump generally swears by outfits signed by the biggest fashion brands and renowned designer. But who pays for this incredible wardrobe?
Melania Trump takes her role as First Lady very seriously. And that goes in particular by its appearance. At each of her public appearances, Donald Trump's wife attracts all eyes by revealing elegant and luxurious outfits. Red leather trench coat, total beige look, Calvin Klein outfits, Louboutin pumps ... So many outfits signed by the greatest fashion designers, mostly French, and often sold at exorbitant prices. However, it is not the American taxpayer who is putting his hand in the pocket for the wardrobe of the First Lady.
Indeed, the person who pays for Melania Trump's clothes is none other than ... the First Lady herself! It is therefore with her personal fortune, amassed during her modeling career and the interests that she keeps today, that Donald Trump's wife can afford a luxurious wardrobe, without digging into US state coffers. “Melania pays for all her own clothes,” her spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter, reports The Express. But as the British media clarified, it is possible that to reduce its bills, Melania Trump benefits from reductions from certain brands. A privilege that can be granted to first ladies, at least in the United States.
Melania Trump hired to fight the coronavirus
Currently in confinement at the White House while the United States now has more than 52,000 dead from the coronavirus, Melania Trump no longer really has the opportunity to reveal her outfits, such as the Carolina Herrera dress she wore during his trip to India last February. However, after explaining the barrier gestures against the virus on her Twitter account last March, the First Lady allowed herself a small outing in the gardens of the presidential residence on the occasion of Earth Day, with her husband . For the occasion, she wore an olive green trench coat belted at the waist, sold for 1380 euros. Paid by itself, obviously.
