Her speech at the Republican convention may not have been original, but Melania Trump's style definitely is, says Anita Aikara.
Michelle Obama, America's First Lady, is a style icon.
Be it a new hair-do or wearing outfits by Bibhu Mohapatra, all eyes are on Michelle wherever she goes.
Melania Trump, who will succeed Michelle as America's First Lady on January 20, always puts her best fashion foot forward.
Melania is inspired by the best -- she attended the Republican National Convention, where her speech was accused of being similar to a speech Michelle had made some years earlier -- dressed in an outfit by one of Michelle's favourite designers, Roksanda.
It may a tad early to compare her sartorial decisions with Michelle's, but let's take a look at some of her incredible fashion moments.
1. She isn't afraid to flaunt some cleavage...

Her dress sense seems more experimental and mood driven.
Melania loves to colour coordinate her look to the T.
She's seen here in a white off-shoulder with white shoes and a matching clutch.
She started her own jewellery line and is often spotted in big, chunky necklaces.
Did you know she's extremely fond of the colour white?

2. Or show some leg!

Coincidence or is Melania copying more than Michelle's speech?

9. She could make other First Ladies green with envy

10. And she is a charmer on the red carpet

At most red carpet events, she is sure to live up to the title of First Lady of Fashion in her Chanel or Dolce & Gabbana dresses teamed with Louboutin heels.

11. And she loves the good things in life
IMAGE: Melania is a huge fan of jackets, especially the shoulder robing kinds.
One shouldn't be surprised then if she becomes a favourite among leading fashion editors.
