Melania and Ivanka Trump have finally agreed to abide by tradition on their travels.
The First Lady and First Daughter accompanied President Donald Trump to meet the Pope at the Vatican in Rome.
The two women were respectfully dressed in black outfits with matching veils to greet Pope Francis this morning. Melania donned a lace coat dress by Dolce & Gabbana while Ivanka went for a simple dress.

A veil – or mantilla as it is also known – is traditionally worn by women as a sign of respect when meeting the Pope.
This is an unexpected move from the Trump women considering they did not wear a headscarf once during their time in Saudi Arabia over the weekend.
Despite the Muslim custom for women to wear a hijab in public, Melania and Ivanka kept their heads scarf-free.
