Melania Trump's commitment to couture has once again stoked the ire of the internet - this time, it was a pair of four-inch heels to complement her gardening wardrobe.
The US first lady opted for a €4,000 Valentino a-line floral skirt paired with pastel pink Christian Louboutin heels for a tree-planting photo op on the grounds of the White House on Tuesday. The choice of outfit has divided critics, with some labelling it yet another display of ostentatious wealth in a public role, and others simply pointing out that her personal style has always been experimental and more notably, very, very expensive.
