Melania Trump's latest disaster zone look?White jeans

When Tropical Storm Harvey hit Houston, Texas last month, Melania Trump perhaps unwittingly became the subject of media ridicule.

America???s First Lady was accused of dressing as a caricature, an out of touch billionaire, and like someone on their way to a ???Top Gun reunion??? rather than on their way to help, thanks to her choice of a khaki satin bomber jacketand aviator glasses as she boarded Air Force One.

???Is Melania flying Marine One or is there a Top Gun reunion in Texas???? one Twitter user asked, as the paparazzi zoomed in to take photos of Mrs Trump???s four-inch Manolo Blahnik stilettos sinking in the grass on the White House lawn.???Not an expert, but are stiletto heels the best footwear for a disaster zone???? another quipped, as more than 5,000 people shared the post.

So when Melania flew to Florida today for briefings on the relief efforts underway to help those affected by the latest natural disaster to hit the US, Hurricane Irma, it seemed she was determined to not let the headlines be about a fashion faux pas.

Accompanying her husband, the President Donald Trump, the FLOTUS boarded Air Force One in Chanel shoes and a smart monochrome ensemble.By the time she arrived in Florida, however, she was decidedly more dressed-down in Converse trainers, a khaki shirt andjeans.

Critics will be quick to point out that white denim is almost as impracticalin a flood zone as one of her signature power sheath dresses might be.But in the Trump era, this is an attempt to be relatable, and not flashy- and that"s something, at least to take note of.
