In Photos: Melania & Ivanka Trump's bold fashion statements beg a question

American First Lady Melania Trump and First Daughter Ivanka Trump have been making headlines for their classic yet stylish wardrobe choices.

The 47-year-old First Lady’s choices have quickly caught up with millennials across the globe. Across Saudi Arabia, Rome, Brussels and Israel, Melania broke many a fashion rules as she chose not to cover her head during her visit to Saudi Arabia. But, of course, that wasn't the case in the Vatican.

In addition, she decided to wear a white pantsuit where women are usually expected to wear long skirts and dresses.

On the other hand, Ivanka Trump, her step-daughter who accompanied President Trump and Melania Trump on their foreign tours also dressed in elegant, yet form fitting silhouettes that complimented her very well.

During their visit to the Vatican, both women were dressed in black which is the dress code for all state heads visiting the Pope. They covered their heads in a see-through veil that lent a sense of drama to their outfits.

But one must question the rationale behind why the women chose to adhere to the dress code in Vatican, while simply ignoring the status quo in Saudi Arabia?

It is important to mention that the way women dress is a strong assertion of their identities and belonging. The Trump presidency has already generated a significant amount of discourse over immigration, economic policy, terrorism and women’s rights.

Hence, it comes as no surprise that all eyes are on Melania and Ivanka. Either they can chose to inspire young women and girls, or give in to the stereotypes and further take Trump down as one of the most sexist American Presidents of all time.

But how much politics can an outfit assert?
