Melania Trump stuns in figure-hugging £2,880 dress as she holds hands with Brigitte Macron

Melania Trump left her husband Donald Trump’s side this morning for an excursion with Brigitte Macron.

The two women seemed close, as they held hands at the Cote des Basques beach today.

Both impeccably turned out, they opted for different but equally chic looks.

Melania wore a tight white dress with a low cut scalloped neckline.

The dress had a full skirt and fell to above her ankle.

It had a pretty scalloped black or dark navy pattern around the skirt.

On her feet the US First Lady wore white heels from Louboutin and her huge sparkling wedding band from the US president was on show.

How much did Melania Trump’s engagement ring cost? 

The diamond ring was bought from Graff Diamonds and was reported to cost a whopping £1.1 million at the time.

Romantic Donald spared no expense, and opted for a D-flawless diamond.

This means it is a very rare jewel which will have been thoroughly checked to ensure it had no flaws.

Donald originally claimed he got the diamond for half price, which means Melania’s ring could actually be worth a shocking £2.2 million.

However, Graff Diamonds debunked these rumours, stating he did not receive any discounts.

Brigitte, on the other hand, wore a safari style dress that fell to just above the knee. The dress had pockets on the breast and skirt, and a belt.

She wore brown ombre shoes with a block heel and a pointed toe.

Melania’s dress costs £2,880 and is from from famous designer Alaia.

He white Louboutin heels appeared to be the “So Kate” leather pumps, which sell for around £575.

Yesterday Melania Trump wore a pleated jersey dress by Gucci, which had silver chain detailing around the waist. 

Melania’s Gucci dress is currently retailing for $3,800, which is roughly £3,094.

She opted for silver Louboutin heels on this occasion, and the US First Lady is a big fan of the French brand.
