During the 2017 G7 Summit, Melania stepped out wearing a 3D-floral embellished silk coat worth $51,500 by Dolce & Gabbana. The coat raised eye-brows for the whooping amount, and the designer label drew a barrage of backlash for dressing the First Lady when the other designers expressed their hesitation for dressing her.

Melania received criticism for her sky-high stilettos in 2017 when she accompanied husband to visit Hurricane Harvey victims in Puerto Rico. During her visit, she confidently wore Manolo Blahnik pumps to a disaster zone.

Melania Trump during her solo trip to Kenya, and during a safari outing, wore a 'pith' helmet- the headwear associated with a dark colonial history in Africa- and her move was seen as insensitive. She later addressed it by saying "I want to talk about my trip and not what I wear."

During her visit to Saudi Arabia, Melania was slammed for showing her legs during a visit to the conservative nation. Before Melania, Michelle Obama was critiqued for not wearing a headscarf during her state visit.

In response to all the criticism she had recieved in the past, hitting back, Melania wore a controversial slogan jacket, that read "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?". Talking about the controversial slogan jacket, she said in a rare interview, ''It was for the people and for the leftwing media who are criticising me and I want to show them that I don’t care It was kind of a message, yes. I would prefer that they would focus on what I do and on my initiatives than what I wear.''
