Melania and Donald Trump have just landed in the United Kingdom  for their three-day long state visit.  But this time, it wasn't the outspoken president who made the news; rather his wife's interesting choice in designer for her Buckingham Palace arrival ensemble.

Though she touched down in the country wearing Burberry (a nod to her host country), she changed into a figure-hugging white Dolce & Gabbana dress with a navy border at the collar and waist along with a hat designed by her stylist Hervé Pierre, Women's Wear Daily reported.

Queen Elizabeth greeted the president and first lady at Buckingham Palace, where she also had a bit of a matching moment with Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Dolce & Gabbana was recently mired in a controversy when the luxurious brand was accused of racism after releasing an ad featuring a Chinese model trying to eat Italian food with chopsticks, followed by screenshots of racist messages allegedly from designer Stefano Gabbana's Instagram account.

Although the brand later stated he was hacked, previous incidences involving Stephano was brought to the surface, such as the time the designer called Selena Gomez "ugly," and an interview saying that they opposed gay people having families of their own through IVF.

“You are born to a mother and a father, or at least that’s how it should be,” Dolce said. “I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog.” They later apologized.

Major celebrities have since boycotted Dolce & Gabbaba, from the likes of Elton John and Miley Cyrus but Business of Fashion’s Lauren Sherman pointed out last year that "despite the chaos, Dolce & Gabbana’s sales are up." However, the brand was struggling to regain its popularity in China after the 'racist' incident.

However, this hasn't stopped Melania from wearing the brand and remaining indifferent throughout the controversies. She even wore a black jacket by the label in her official portrait as first lady.

We know one thing is for sure - all eyes seemed to be on Melania's fashion sense during her trips abroad!
