Melania Trump has been doing things a lot differently than First Ladies who came before her, and some are saying it’s the most obvious in her style.
The Slovenian native has, in fashion critic standards, changed the game regarding First Lady style and wardrobe, bringing out pieces and ensembles that other women in her position didn’t try while living in the White House. As she’s received more praise for her looks these days, fashion experts are noting that her presidential wardrobe is anything but ‘safe’ or ‘dull.’ Read more about what they had to say below.

Melania Trump Steps Out In Her Unique First Lady Outfits
Though this isn't her first time in the White House, during the first year of her husband, President Donald Trump's second term, the recent documentary star has been making more headlines these days related to her First Lady wardrobe.
Known for her chic looks before she even got into the White House, Melania has made her mark in the political world with the outfits she and her styling team have put together over the last few months. From leather skirts to her iconic Inaugural boater hat, one can always expect her public appearance outfits to make some kind of buzz online.
Recently, Cynthia Kennedy, a personal stylist and image consultant, spoke to the Daily Mail about Melania's fashion choices and noted that they're "independent" and "rebellious."
Personal Stylist Says Melania Has Been Straying From 'Traditional' First Lady Attire
Looking back on past presidents and their powerful wives, there have been a handful of women who stand out in terms of the style trends they started while living in the White House.
For instance, Jackie Kennedy had her pillbox hats, tailored skirt suits, and famous event dresses. Mamie Eisenhower made a certain shade of 'First Lady pink' popular, and Michelle Obama used her fair share of bold colors and prints. Melania, however, is becoming known for her use of one-of-a-kind wardrobe pieces that stray from the rest.
"She's not doing what people expect," Kennedy told the above publication. "She's not wearing safe, dull, traditional First Lady fashion. She's wearing what she wants, from her favorite designers - mostly European luxury brands like Dolce & Gabbana, and she's making it clear that this job is something she's doing on her own terms. What she's doing may not necessarily be modern, but it is strategic."
We'll be curious to see what other looks and fashion statements the 55-year-old has in store for the rest of her appearances as one of the most influential women in America this year. However, judging by her past ensembles, they'll likely continue to have their own flair and vibe to them.
