President Donald Trump and the First Lady, Melania Trump arrived in the United Kingdom this morning as part of a three day official State Visit that will see the President and his wife hosted by Queen Elizabeth II. Arriving at Stansted Airport – chosen apparently because it’s considered the UK’s most secure airport – the historical moment was somewhat overshadowed by Melania’s sartorial choices.
As President Trump and FLOTUS emerged at the aircraft door, many observers likened Melania’s outfit to that of a member of cabin crew. See what you think with this video that Melania retweeted on her official Twitter account of the pair exiting Air Force One…

Perhaps it was flowing red, white and blue neck scarf – that some have likened to the British Airways uniform. Or perhaps it was the sharp blue hues that are so beloved by airlines around the world. Whatever the reason, Twitter seems to be pretty unanimous in thinking that FLOTUS looked like a member of cabin crew
Times must be tough in the Trump household. It looks as if Melania has had to find work as Cabin Crew. pic.twitter.com/g2iGn0cFZh

Melania has style & she knows how to carry a look. Most of her missteps are linked to her “message” dressing.
“I don’t care” to visit displaced children.
“Colonial mistress” when visiting Africa.
Now we have “British Airways Senior Cabin Crew” for a visit to the UK…

That’s smart from Melania; dressing as a BA flight attendant, in the hope of sneaking onto a different flight home. #escapeplan #TrumpUKVisit pic.twitter.com/wDDPR49Psg

What do you think of Melania’s ‘flight attendant inspired’ look?
