TAORMINA, Italy -- Melania Trump's first outing in the Sicilian sunshine was in a that comes off the rack at US$51,000.

Mrs. Trump also carried a matching clutch when she went to lunch with the other spouses of G7 leaders at the historic Elephants Palace hosted by Catania's mayor.

The colour burst comes after a steady wardrobe of mostly black during U.S. President Donald Trump's overseas tour, that she wore to meet Pope Francis and a dark jacket with golden detailing on the cuff and collar that she wore for her arrival in Italy, both also by Milan designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Gabbana has been celebrating each appearance with Instagram posts., worn over a simple white shift dress, with the U.S. first lady looking model-perfect stepping out of an SUV. Gabbana tagged the photo with hearts and a "Thank You @flotus #melaniatrump."

Dolce & Gabbana have made Sicily their fashion muse, so it makes sense that she would turn to them also in Sicily.
