Worth of Melania's blazer

The wool tweed blazer worn by Melania featured a removable scarf detail, and is worth $5500 on Dior's website, according to Business Insider.

She paired the blazer with a matching skirt and accessorised a black belt.

Melania Trump has never disappointed in making such bold statements with her style. She had also caught the attention at Trump's high-profile inauguration.

Her choice to wear a Dior blazer did not come as a big surprise as she has been turning heads with her appealing dressing style. She has consistently turned to the French luxury house for major political events, proving it to be one of her go-to labels.

"First Lady Melania's style tonight is quiet authority — polished, self-assured, and entirely in command of her presence," said Lauren A. Rothman, a style strategist and image coach, to Business Insider.

For long, the US First Lady has been using fashion to convey powerful messages, and her visit to Capitol Hill in support of the "Take it Down Act" was no exception.

As she advocated for legislation to make "revenge porn" a federal crime, she chose a structured three-piece Ralph Lauren suit.
