Melania Trump wows fans in chic Burberry trench coat and Princess Kate would approve

Melania Trump has touched down in Britain with her husband, Donald Trump, as their second state visit begins. The whirlwind 48-hour tour is set to blend royal pageantry, politics - and plenty of standout style moments.

The First Lady wasted no time making a sartorial statement, stepping out in a look that paid tribute to classic British heritage. She chose the Burberry Kensington Heritage Trench Coat, a design instantly recognisable as one of the brand's most iconic signatures.

Cinch-belted at the waist, the sweeping trench created a sleek, commanding silhouette that underscored Melania's polished style, while nodding to a piece long favoured within royal wardrobes.

Royal fans were quick to flood social media with praise for the First Lady, 55. One admirer wrote on X: "Melania's an absolute vision, always."

Another gushed: "Stunning - always so elegant. I can't wait to see all the outfits and glam. This is so exciting."

Others were already looking ahead to the rest of the visit, with one user posting: "I eagerly anticipate the upcoming days, brimming with beautiful hats, fashion, and tiaras."

The Princess of Wales has long favoured Burberry trench coats, wearing variations of the brand's outerwear at royal engagements over the years.

Kate's, 43, iterations are often tailored and cinched, reinforcing her own reputation for elegant, practical dressing.

By choosing the very same heritage house, Melania's look drew a clear connection to one of the most admired royal wardrobes of all time.

Melania styled her coat with Christian Dior Empreinte riding boots, adding equestrian-inspired polish that felt perfectly suited for an autumn/winter arrival.

The sharp tailoring of the trench revealed the iconic Burberry check lining as she moved - a subtle yet unmistakable nod to the brand's British DNA.

Finishing the look, she wore Saint Laurent's flat-top sunglasses, injecting a contemporary, fashion-forward edge to an otherwise traditional ensemble.

The mix of sleek accessories with British tailoring not only channelled understated glamour but also underscored the relevance of heritage pieces this season.

With trench coats and knee-high boots dominating the catwalks this season, Melania's outfit struck the perfect balance between diplomatic dressing and trend-conscious styling. A look as at home on the streets of London as it is stepping off Air Force One.
