For the visit, which was unscheduled, Melania broke first lady precedent by traveling to an active combat zone. To take selfies with soldiers and speak military members, FLOTUS wore a suede mustard belted blouse with dark green pants.

It’s Melania’s shoe choice that really stood out though. The Timberland boots are being called an “out of touch” style selection by some on Twitter.
One person even suggested that putting on Timberlands was a last-ditch effort by FLOTUS after getting critiqued for her other shoe choices — including the infamous “storm stilettos.”
However, it wouldn’t be the first time that Melania wore a pair of the brand’s boots, and similarly got mocked for them.

As part of her first solo international trip as first lady, Melania visited Nairobi National Park in a white pith helmet, which drew criticism for its colonial-era past.
Melania Trump attended the General Debate of the 73rd session of the General Assembly at the United Nations alongside her husband. Her black dress was thought to be a slight towards President Trump as many people on the internet saw her outfit as a gesture of support for sexual assault survivors.
The Trumps welcomed Polish President Andrzej Duda and his wife Agata Kornhauser-Duda to the White House in September. The problem? Melania was wearing a wool coat while it was still 80 degrees outside. Furthermore, she didn’t remove her coat while dining inside with the Polish first lady, which Twitter deemed not the best hostess tactic.
Melania Trump tried her hand at gardening for the second time to plant an Eisenhower Oak at the White House in August. The $4000 skirt and sky-high Louboutin heels she wore to dig soil sent the internet aflame.
“Melania is launching her new line of Gardening Attire, accompanied by the standard 4-inch heels,” joked one Twitter user.
FLOTUS stepped out on August 20th in Maryland to promote her Be Best initiative and discuss cyberbullying. To the event, she wore the once-controversial pussy-bow blouse — the same style she sported during the 2016 presidential debate after the Access Hollywood leak.
Arguably her most controversial outfit yet, Melania sported a jacket emblazoned with the words “I Really Don’t Care Do You” to visit migrant children separated from their parents in Texas. The Zara jacket retails for $39.
Melania arrived at POTUS’ State of the Union at the start of the new year in a white Dior pantsuit. Many members of Congress chose to wear black in solidarity with sexual assault survivors and in protest of the Trump administration: Melania stood out in all white.
Following Ivana Trump’s controversial interview in October, Melania donned an emerald green shirtdress from British brand Cefinn to an official visit to Lily’s Place to visit with families affected by addiction. It’s the first non-profit infant recovery center in the world.
The dress was designed by former first lady of Britain Samantha Cameron. Is she reminding everyone of her status?
Alongside President Trump, FLOTUS arrived in Vegas in October to pay their respects to the 50 victims of the Las Vegas shooting. Her all-black, closed-off look drew some major criticism on Twitter.
“I’m making a public plea to Melania Trump: stop with the sunglasses (and the heels at disaster areas),” one Twitter user wrote.
Though this photo was taken at the White House Congressional Picnic in June, the Trumps tweeted a photo from the event to wish the country a happy Labor Day the following September.
“We are building our future with American hands, American labor, American iron, aluminum and steel,” POTUS wrote. Ironically, Melania’s dress was designed by Mary Katrantzou, a Greek-born British designer. Twitter had *a lot* to say.
While visiting Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Memorial, Melania sported a white sleeveless dress. Twitter wasn’t happy with her sporting bare shoulders at the memorial.
Wrote one user, “Melania cover your arms up, show some respect.”
“Geez. The lambasted Michelle Obama for baring her arms and her is Melania Trump in conservative Israel with a sleeveless dress,” said another.
Just days after President Trump landed in hot water following the leaked Access Hollywood recordings, Melania sported a pussy bow shirt to the second presidential debates.
