As President Trump continues his tour of Asia, Hope Hicks continues to add to her increasing list of fashion statements. The White House communications director donned a pretty floral number as she walked into a news conference between President Donald Trump and Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang at the Presidential Palace on Sunday. The dress was ruffled at the hem, which rested just above the knee, and puffed at the shoulders, much like the grey sweater she wore earlier in the trip when Trump addressed the National Assembly in Seoul.

A repeat: The dress included puffed sleeves, similar to ones Hope wore earlier in the five-country Asia tour. Her look was quite different from the one Melania was sported wearing this weekend as she stopped in Alaska (right)
Hope paired the pink, blue and black dress with a pair of simple black high heels and a burgundy Ivanka Trump tote bag. She added a hint of pink to her lips to match the floral pattern. She also had her hair pulled back into a bun at the base of her head with a twist on either side, as she arrived behind White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Carrying a brown bag, Sarah appeared in a long-sleeved black dress accessorized with a simple pearl necklace. Both women wore the same blue hexagonal pin.

The White House fashionista: The 29-year-old appeared to be back to her stylish self after going casual last week
She appears to have returned to her stylish self after Friday, when she favored comfort over fashion as she donned a baggy men's shirt on her way to Vietnam for their eighth day of travel. Although the White House communications director has been turning it up in the style department for most of President Trump's five-country tour of Asia, the 29-year-old didn't look quiet as put together in her wrinkled collared shirt as she waited to board Air Force One at the Beijing Airport in China. Hope paired the ill-fitting button-down with black trousers and black pumps, and at one point she had her long, highlighted hair pulled up in an uncharacteristic high ponytail.

While waiting outside on the tarmac, Hope wore her sunglasses on the top of her head as the breeze blew through her hair, which she had pulled back down. It's been a whirlwind week for Hope who started the tour by giving First Lady Melania Trump a run for her money in the fashion department. Within a week, Hope went from donning a ladylike pink dress in Hawaii to donning a wrinkled men's shirt on her way to Vietnam. Hope also put fashion on the back-burner on Thursday evening when she wore a simple, slightly baggy outfit to a state dinner in Beijing.
