The First Lady opts for a striking £1,550 striped dress by Victoria Beckham to visit the Chelsea Pensioners in London

Melania Trump made an effort to win over the UK public with her choice of dress on Friday.

The First Lady, 48, stepped out in a statement dress by British designer Victoria Beckham this morning.

The structured striped dress  hugged Mrs Trump's curves as she arrived at the Royal Hospital Chelsea to meet the Chelsea Pensioners and local schoolchildren.

But those hoping to emulate Melania's look can only do so with a Trump sized salary with the dress coming in at an eye-watering £1,550 ($1,910).

She paired the pricey piece with a pair of patent nude heels for her morning engagement alongside Philip May while their spouses spend the morning together.

And while glamorous they may be Melania was surely reluctant that she didn't opt for a more practical pair of shoes as she joined the Chelsea Pensioners and Mr May for a game of bowls on the green.

Despite her stilettos the mother-of-one was able to take part in the game tottering on the grass as she joined local children for the classic British game.

Her famous brunette locks were blow-dried to perfection framing her face where she opted for a dark smoky eye.

The First Lady kept her other accessories to a minimum, doing away with bags and jewellery on Friday.
