Before she was Mrs. Donald Trump, Melania Trump was a supermodel in her own right. Melania Trump credits her work in the fashion industry for preparing her for the role of first lady.
"I think nothing prepared me more to be first lady in front of the world than the fashion industry… It's glamorous, but it's at the same time very tough," Melania Trump said in September on FOX & Friends.
"Everybody judges you, [looks] at you a certain way. So it can be a mean world as well," she added.
"So nothing prepared me more for this world than fashion. It gives you a thick skin," Melania Trump said.
It also prepared her to become a fashion icon just like Kate. For this year's inauguration, Melania Trump chose a tailored suit by American designer Adam Lippes paired with a statement hat that was very much reminiscent of the royals.
The similarities between Melania Trump and Kate go deeper than wardrobe. Both women are incredibly supportive of their powerful husbands and flourish in their unique roles.
"There is something in her – the strong woman – but at the same time, there is the soft power; she’s really good at balancing her husband. Sometimes I wonder how she could have the courage to keep on going; they’ve gone through so much," photographer Régine Mahaux noted of Melania Trump after spending time with the couple.
"She’s committed. She loves him, and he loves her," he added. Kate is similarly known to be the rock for her husband, Prince William, as he navigates his duties as a royal, as noted in US Weekly.
"I don’t know where William would be without Kate — she hasn’t had everything done for her throughout her life, so she calms him down when he gets a bit fractious. She said he sometimes has to be treated as her fourth child," an unnamed source told author and royals expert.
Both of these remarkable women serve their families and their respective countries with love and sincerity. Moreover, both Melania Trump and Princess Kate look amazingly stylish while doing it.
