The change in Melania Trump's fashion style

Melania Trump was largely absent from public view throughout Donald Trump's incredibly busy and eventful re-election campaign. However, when she went to vote with her husband on Election Day, she caused a sensation with a polka-dot dress she had worn in September.

Melania wore a short-sleeved silk shirt dress and square-framed sunglasses when she went to vote, while Mr. Trump wore a navy blue suit.

Before becoming the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump already had a lavish fashion style associated with the American elite. She was a front-row guest at New York Fashion Week and attended glamorous events such as the Met Gala , the Oscars , and the Golden Globes .

Before her husband began his first presidential term, the former model favored daring outfits that accentuated her long legs. However, her style became more modest after she entered the White House.
