While Melania Trump is known for her love of stilettos, she made a swap on Sunday, ditching her high heels for walkable flats.
The 49-year-old is in Tokyo, Japan, with President Donald Trump for an official state visit. Her first order of business was a stop at the Mori Building Digital Art Museum alongside Japanese first lady Akie Abe.
The ex-model looked chic in a navy silk jumpsuit by Loro Piana that retails for $3,500. The outfit featured white piping at the cuffs and on the lapels. She wore it cinched in at the waist with a chunky belt.
For footwear, the Slovenian American went with navy flats — an unexpected choice given her penchant for soaring heels. The flat shoes featured a pointed silhouette and just barely peeked out from under her wide pant legs.
Meanwhile, Abe wore a short-sleeved navy dress with a chartreuse print and bow detailing on the midriff. She went with white block-heeled pumps to round out her look.
While the first ladies enjoyed their museum visit, President Trump and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe participated in a round of golf. The full group came together later in the day to watch a sumo wrestling match and to eat dinner.

Finally, a First Lady in a pants suit—that actually looks appealing!
And that’s not easy to do!
Isn’t it amazing how she almost doesnt exist in the msm?
Too beautiful and classy.
It’s not Old Crusty, that’s for sure.
LOL
The flats likely kept her from soaring over her hosts.
Of course she’s going to wear flats. She’s tall, Akie Abe is short - notice she has heels on? Melania would have towered over her had she worn heels. She’s no dummy.
Tall, classy lady visits Japan and decides against heels. Because she’s classy.
Notice the Japanese wife is in heels, melania is is flats so they near equal heights. Subtle effect this writer ignored.
Burch Obola worn heels against shorter foreign presidents and prime ministers!
exactly. She was being deferential.
She’s on a foreign trip and they refer to her as a former fashion model. How rude can you get.
Ha! I remember when the Mooch met Queen and Prince Phillip. for a brief second I thought Mooch was going to pick her up and swing her around.
According to the liberal definition, none of those children are white.
But they will be discriminated against if they apply to American colleges.
So what happens if Chasten Boot-edge-edge because First Lady?
Are we going to get treated to articles about his “eclectic style” or whatever?
One of the biggest manners faux pas in Japan is causing some one to "lose face" (embarass them). Obviously, she showed good Japanese manners and did not want to upstage Mrs Abe
A disturbing thought, but as President Trump said of Booty...”He will never be President”.
“...she showed good Japanese manners”
Something neither Michelle nor her posse of handmaidens ever even thought of.
Melania always has her hands perfectly posed. That’s her model background showing through.
