United States First Lady Melania Trump, who generally sticks to sheath dresses, fit and flare frocks and classic evening wear, chose to don bright yellow floral dress by Emilio Pucci, which retails at $2,160, for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's White House visit.

Melania donned a black Stella McCartney jumpsuit with an oversize gold belt from Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana's white suit and blouse with Manolo Blahnik snakeskin stilettos, and a Reem Acra caped gown when she accompanied her husband, US President Donald Trump, for his engagements with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh.

But more than the designers she chose, her wardrobe choices during this visit was defined by the fact that she did not cover her head. The Islamic nation has a very strict dressing code for the women in the country.

Melania places a prayer in-between the stone blocks of the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

She sported the same white Michael Kors Collection suit and Manolo Blahnik's red and white striped stilettos for her meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara.

For dinner festivities during the trip she had picked a modified version of a Dolce & Gabbana's lace and tulle dress from Fall 2016.

Melania, like Michelle Obama before her, left behind her defiance in Saudi Arabia when she met the Pope at the Vatican.

She wore the traditionally dictated black dress with long sleeves and a black veil. Only hers was a Dolce & Gabana.

FLOTUS picked from the Altuzarra Spring 2017 runway collection for her husband's meeting with Argentine President Mauricio Macri and his wife Juliana Awada.

The 'Feday' gabardine military jacket with python-print piping and the matching 'Curry' skirt cost $4,115.

She paired the outfit with Manolo Blahnik snakeskin BB pumps.
