(CNN)First lady Melania Trump exited Air Force One Sunday in Tokyo, Japan, dressed smartly in a coat by Italian fashion house, Fendi, a leather pencil skirt by her frequent couturier, Hervé Pierre, and her ubiquitous sky-high Manolo Blahnik heels.
The first lady, accompanying her husband President Donald Trump on his first official trip to Asia, will again have her turn in the spotlight, due in part to a familiar phrase: "What is she wearing?" That "she" being the first lady of the United States, be her Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, and now, Melania Trump.
Like it or not, how the first lady presents herself sartorially can oftentimes be a headline grabbing part of the job. And for Trump, fashion has emerged as a key messaging tool.
"Mrs. Trump always wants to be thoughtful and respect the traditions and protocols of the countries she visits," her communications director Stephanie Grisham told CNN. "She knows she is representing the United States, and wants to be sure she is appropriate in all that she does."

See? Did we call it or what? Told you White was beautiful in Asian cultures.
Woah...she is beautiful in white.
OK, does Melania have men just passing out at her feet as she walks by or what?!
She is STUNNING!!!
I can only imagine what it is like to be that striking!
Rather than be jealous of her beauty, I admire it, and most of all I admire her love of our country, and her great intelligence.
God Bless Her
LOL!
So glad to see a real woman, and WHAT a woman as FLOTUS again and not some hulking, transgendered freak.
She is the most beautiful First Lady weve ever had.
Leave it to CNN to get a snarky quote that so no-name columnist “hopes she does more with her clothing...”
WTF? I don’t remember any First Lady being so on point with her wardrobe. I don’t remember caring what Laura Bush or Mooschelle wore.
And I think phrase is “WHO is she wearing?” not “What is she wearing?”
Dumb Fake News CNN.
Her wardrobe is entertainment!
She looks amazing and I love her warmth and love for children.
Those are linebacker shoulders. How soon is the draft?
That image is from February. It is not from the current trip to Japan.
I do believe it is from this trip. Look at the fan in avenir’s photos in The First Lady’s hand.
Lawdy. Those trapezius muscles sure do shine. Whew!
Yes the pictures of her with children are so sweet. We could not have a better First Lady. Love her.
Well, I don't think she's been shopping at Kohl's!
As always, Melania is just beautiful. I have to say that having read the article (yes, I did!) they just can’t help with the snark. The WSJ fashion chick says she hopes Melania begins to do more with her clothing. And then ostensibly compares her to Michele Obama. Just....oh well.
