The fashion choices of first ladies are as political as they are personal. Ahead of US first family's India visit, here are some style lessons from America's most stylish first ladies.
Mamie Eisenhower was a pioneer of American trends in the 50s and 60s, becoming an early adopter of printed dresses, pretty necklines and outlandish hats.
Her successor&nbsp;Jackie Kennedy's style left a lasting legacy. From her&nbsp;glam-meets-preppy suits and sheath dresses to her memorable round sunglasses, Jackie's style continues to inspire modern generations.&nbsp;
Pat Nixon was known for her daring looks.&nbsp;She loved to pair cropped short-sleeved jackets with dresses but was often spotted in fancy gowns as well.
Many may know this by now thanks to her own&nbsp;presidential race but Hilary Clinton's pantsuits have always set her apart from the other first ladies of the world.
Most recently, it is Michelle Obama's style&nbsp;--full of&nbsp;sundresses, bold patterns and the lack of sleeves that makes headlines even after her husband's presidency ended.
Let's see what the current first lady Melania&nbsp;Trump will choose to wear on her trip to India.&nbsp;

Black power suits with sensuous cut-out slashes and jackets&nbsp;made from double-bonded textiles, fashion designer&nbsp;Donatella Versace showed that she is and always will be all about the power woman.&nbsp;The brand's fall collection was presented in Milan against a liquid background of melting Medusas, and that movement was reflected in distorted Barocco prints and geode patterns on her garments.&nbsp;This season was also about menswear, as Versace presented her first-ever co-ed show.&nbsp;Menswear and womenswear were perfectly mirrored, from black business suits to casual sports and knitwear to funky evening wear.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In his latest collection for his youthful Emporio Armani line, Giorgio Armani offered women a range of options that went beyond the norm. The collection, showcased in Milan, took a stand against trends, targeting youthful dressers who are not necessarily that young. For next fall and winter, the designer unveiled a&nbsp;clothing and accessories designed from recycled, organic or regenerated materials.&nbsp;Made from sustainable fabrics, the line had a variety of jackets and draping variations in&nbsp;pants.

Italian luxury brand Fendi&nbsp;hoped to lay emphasis on curves and strong shapes for its show at the Milan Fashion Week. Coats and dresses were coupled with puffed and voluminous sleeves. The collection went big on cinched waists with a muted colour palette. Looks were finished with either ankle-strapped pumps or satin booties. The showroom was designed to signify that this is a place where a woman can project power.

Minimalism was made to look pretty at Jil Sander's show at Milan Fashion Week. Outfits were accompanied with ruffling hemlines and silky fringes. The colour palette included pale shades of ivory, yellow and stronger tones of navy blue, black and red. Voluminous bubble coats with puffy arms and belted jackets took over the runway.

Gucci kicked-off Milan Fashion Week with a theatrical spectacle&nbsp;for its Fall/Winter 2020 show.&nbsp;Back-stage secrets were out in the open as the presentation was held in a circular show room where models got ready on a rotating runway, giving a glimpse into what happens behind-the-scenes. Creative director Alessandro Michele explored children's clothes for adults. The collection was about the freedom of self-expression and combined costuming with eccentricity. The show, called The Ritual, saw models pose like mannequins staring back at the audience. From a baby-doll dress worn with patent leather collar to tiered-ball gowns straight from a drama, every look seemed to play a certain eclectic character.

Ball gowns, mermaid trains and fit-and-flare hemlines -- if you're ever dreamed of having&nbsp;a Disney princess wedding, now is your time.

The brand has released some sketches of what the line will look like but the full line will be revealed at the New York Bridal Fashion Week in April.

Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid were among the models for Riccardo Tisci's latest collection.

Fluid black dresses and classic&nbsp;workwear&nbsp;dominated the collection for Victoria Beckham at the London Fashion Week.

A pop of colour added a fun element to her line.&nbsp;

Tommy Hilfiger collaborated with Formula One Driver Lewis Hamilton for the fourth time and musician H.E.R. for a new collection, showcased at the London Fashion Week.

Neon leisure wear took over the runway with hoodies, bomber jackets, trainers and glowing laces. The see-now-buy-now collection also saw Winnie Harlow and Karen Elson strut the runway.

It was indeed a grand finale as&nbsp;ace couturier Amit&nbsp;Aggarwal&nbsp;closed the Lakme Fashion Week with his collection titled&nbsp;&lsquo;AXIL&rsquo;. The 'futuristic' collection reflected on&nbsp;Lakme's theme of the season "#BetterIn3D" . Dramatic, geometrical gowns in hues of metallic, red, silver and green overtook the runway.
