Once considered "absent", Mrs. Melania Trump now naturally dominates the media with her impressive fashion style when welcoming the French president.

She wore the same outfit when she returned to the White House to attend a joint press conference with her husband and Mr. Macron. The hat was designed by Herve Pierre, the first lady's French stylist. According toAP, the outfit became the subject of photo "editing" by netizens after the event. Photo:AP.

The white outfit was reminiscent of Melania’s previous outfit: when she wore a white suit to Trump’s first State of the Union address. The event took place shortly after the media reported that a porn star accused Trump of paying her to keep an affair secret. Many wondered what message Melania wanted to convey through her outfit.

Melania was largely absent from Washington during the first six months of Trump's presidency. She stayed in New York while her son Barron finished school. She was rarely seen, or even mentioned, during this time, even after she moved to the White House last June. Photo:AP.

But the first lady seems to be trying to change that, even publicly responding to her critics. She recently hosted a White House discussion on cyberbullying, despite her husband’s frequent Twitter putdowns. Photo:AP.

While the "first white hat fever" has not yet cooled down, all eyes of the public were on Mrs. Melania at the reception on April 24, the first state dinner of the Trump administration. She wore a lace dress with beads and sparkling stones. Photo:AP.

According toAP,This state dinner is another area where Mrs. Melania wants to show her ability. The White House emphasized that the US First Lady prepared everything herself without asking for outside personnel. Photo:AP.

Melania's office released a short video showing her discussing details of the state dinner with her team, including the menu and table decorations, which will be dominated by gold and cream. Photo:AP.

Earlier, at the reception for Mr. Macron at the White House, Mrs. Melania wore a loose-fitting black mini dress. Although she was mostly praised for her choice of outfit, the US First Lady has also been criticized for dressing inappropriately, such as the time she went to Texas to inspect the flood area.
