First Lady Melania is embarking on a solo tour of Africa today and she set off in style.  This will be Mrs. Trump's first big solo trip overseas with scheduled visits to Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt.  I'm sure we will be seeing some fabulous sartorial choices during her tour.  The main mission of this trip, however, is a "diplomatic and humanitarian visit" focused on her #BeBest campaign for "children and their well-being."

Mrs. Trump boarded her flight to Ghana donning a brown suede trench coat by Vince.  She kept the look monochromatic by pairing the trench with her chocolate brown Herve Pierre leather skirt and leopard print Manolo Blahnik BB pumps.  She accessorized with Saint Laurent sunglasses.

Her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: “We leave today and will be visiting Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt. She is hoping to visit the countries to learn what their challenges are, and also see where the U.S. is having a positive impact or results. To that end, our office has been working closely with USAID [United States Agency for International Development] and each stop will focus on one or more projects they have been working on within each country.”

Melania's visits will promote “education, healthcare, some conservation and tourism,” the statement continued. “As with all that she does through her initiative Be Best, the well-being of children will be her focus,” according to Grisham.
