Melania Trump's visit to migrant children in Texas was overshadowed by her choice of clothing.

Known for her wardrobe of top end designer fashionwear, the First Lady picked a 35 euro coat from Zara to travel to the airport. Emblazoned on the back of the jacket is the slogan "I really don't care, do you?"

She had dispensed with the jacket when she arrived by plane in Texas, but was again photographed wearing it on her return to Washington, hours after social media had erupted in debate.

Donald Trump defended his wife, saying the reference was her response to the "Fake News Media".
