For many women in the public eye, it helps to develop a trustworthy, flattering uniform, or at the very least, a power color [1]. Ladies like the Duchess of Cambridge [2] and British Prime Minister Theresa May [3] keep it simple, Kate sticking to coat dresses [4] more often than not and Theresa May opting for fitted skirt suits. But it took a minute for us to discover Melania Trump's go-to outfit — perhaps she had been distracting us with over-the-top designer statement pieces [5] and a few custom numbers by stylist Hervé Pierre [6].
But after she posted a photo of herself alongside the White House interns in this ivory dress, we've finally arrived at Melania's chosen silhouette: a Michael Kors Collection sheath. The FLOTUS wore the exact same piece during the primary election at Trump Towers, and when she greeted Panama's president and first lady, she wore a powder blue variation with three rows of buttons at the sides. If we didn't know any better, we'd say Melania has found her dress match in a formfitting Michael Kors Collection look. Read on for the proof.
