It's the final day of Donald and Melania Trump's first official tour as President and First Lady, and it looks like 47-year-old Melania is eager to go out with a sartorial bang.
After having made a chic arrival in Sicily, where her husband is attending a G7 summit, Melania stepped out Friday morning in the coastal down of Catania, making a very stylish statement in a $51,500 coat by Dolce & Gabanna, which was covered with colorful 3-D flower embellishments - and came complete with a matching $1,630 purse by the Italian luxury label.
However, the First Lady traded the statement coat for a shimmery, high-neck silver dress and equally sparkly $945 shoes by Dolce & Gabanna to attend a concert by the La Scala Philharmonic Orchestra at the ancient Greek Theatre of Taormina with her husband, President Trump, on Friday evening.
Although the price of the one-of-a-kind dress is not known, made-to-order dresses from D&G's couture runway shows reportedly start at a minimum of $40,000.
Melania looked radiant as she and Trump arrived hand-in-hand at the concert, which was attended by other G7 leaders, including France's new president, Emmanuel Macron.
Macron gave a big smile when he shook hands with Melania, just one day after his awkward handshake with her husband.
At their first meeting ahead of the NATO Summit in Brussels on Thursday, the two leaders locked hands for so long that knuckles started turning white.
Trump finally seemed ready to pull away - but Macron evidently wasn't. The French president held the shake for a few seconds more. Both men's jaws seemed to clench.

Awwww, how sweet of Macron to bring his Mom with him.
She would look beautiful in just about any outfit.
Michelle Obama is gross through and through..
Another thread is about Beatle music - "moochelle, with the bell" was one of their songs - right?
This one is not my favorite outfit but at least it is elegant and tasteful.
Now that’s funny!

There’s over the top. Then, there’s Taormina. Early summer/late spring. Flowers everywhere.
She started Her professional career in the Italian Fashion Market. (Milan) She is one of them. No doubt she has professional or personal relations with many. She wore clothes to honor them. I’m sure they are thrilled
She did that where ever she went. In Sicily, she chose the highest end of Italian clothes and sent the message "I'm here in Sicily to enjoy your wonderful culture and have fun". Keep in mind she started her modelling career in Venice, which is only three hours from her Slovenian hometown. So, yeah, I'm thinking she has a very keen sense of Italian culture and fashion.
Gorgeous.
beautiful! I’ve seen that fabric in gold, black and navy but this is the first time I’ve seen it in silver - yum!
She is a real lady.
Good pictures of the shoes here
I see the President of France brought his Mom along. That’s nice.
Yes.
