MELANIA Trump wore a Burberry blouse covered in medals to pay tribute to D-Day veterans, as she touched down in London today.

The First Lady, 49, wore a £650 blouse printed with military emblems as she arrived at Stansted Airport with her husband, President Donald Trump, earlier this morning.

It was a blustery welcome for the American politician, 72, and his wife who saw her pussy-bow blow away in the breeze.

With blue, white and red colours, the Burberry blouse wouldn't look out of place on any patriotic Brit.

Ever the style icon, former model Melania paired it with a blue pencil skirt, black sunglasses and a pair of Christian Louboutin navy heels.

The President and First Lady are in the UK for a whirlwind three-day tour which will see them dine with the royal family and commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

When she left London yesterday, Melania chose a £3.5k Gucci dress printed with Big Ben, Tower Bridge and London buses in bid to impress here on British soil.

Following in the footsteps of former First Lady and style icon Jackie Kennedy, wife of John F Kennedy, Melania's outfits for foreign visits are meticulously thought out.

On a previous trip to the Egyptian pyramids, back in October, she impressed in a safari-inspired white pantsuit with beige jacket and a trilby hat.

But her choice of outfit for a trip to the Mexican border, last June, didn't go down so well.

Melania wore a green Zara jacket with the phrase "I really don't care. Do U?" printed on it.

The coat was controversially picked for a meeting with child migrants who had been separated from their parents.

The couple are in London until Wednesday and will meet the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall later today.

Trump is due to have breakfast with Prime Minister Theresa May tomorrow, before attending an event for the 75th anniversary of D-Day on Wednesday.
