Melania donned a black Stella McCartney jumpsuit with an oversize gold belt from Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana's white suit and blouse with Manolo Blahnik snakeskin stilettos, and a Reem Acra caped gown when she accompanied her husband, US President Donald Trump, for his engagements with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh.
