Melania Trump dons a £4,600 Valentino cape fresh off the runway for NATO reception alongside husband

Melania Trump stepped out last night wearing a vibrant canary yellow ensemble by Italian fashion house Valentino.

The caped ensemble retails for £4,600 and is from Pierpaolo Piccioli's Autumn/ Winter 2019 collection. It's still available to buy.

Making the canary yellow cape pop, the 49-year-old first lady opted to wear a purple jumper and co-ordinating purple heels.

She kept her hair in its usual sleek blow-dry and her make-up natural, with a slight pink hue to her lips matching the pink in her outfit.

As is traditional for the US First Lady when visiting Buckingham Palace, Melania was pictured accompanying the Queen into the reception room at the Palace.

The first lady accompanied her 73-year-old husband, President Trump, to the event at Clarence House, which was to mark 70 years of the NATO alliance, attended by notable figures including the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cambridge and Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, among others.

Earlier in the week, Melania had opted to wear a red Calvin Klein coat as she made a bold arrival in to the UK. She paired the coat with her favourite Christian Louboutin heels.
