After facing criticism for wearing a mini skirt while spending time with President Donald Trump, Natalie Harp appears to have opted for a more covered-up look. The White House aide sparked fresh online discussion over her style after stepping out in a chic, fall-inspired outfit while traveling with Trump to campaign events in Tennessee and Ohio this month.
Harp, one of Trump’s devoted staff members, recently drew attention for switching up her wardrobe, trading her shorter dresses and skirts for a sophisticated camel-toned coat.
While boarding Marine One and accompanying Trump to campaign events last week, the 35-year-old was spotted wearing a beige, belted wool wrap coat that fashion observers identified as Ted Baker’s “Rose” midi-length wool wrap coat.

Natalie Harp Covers Up In A Wrap Coat
She layered the satin-lined outerwear over a short, dark dress, creating a contrast between the coat's classic silhouette and her shorter hemline. She completed the ensemble with black leather knee-high heeled boots on one occasion, and wore beige pumps on a different day that same week.
For her beauty look, Harp wore her blonde hair in an updo and also down in loose curls. She opted for minimal makeup. Natalie was photographed smiling as she boarded the aircraft alongside the president.
Her latest outfit comes after she faced scrutiny earlier this month over a short skirt she wore while sitting and chatting with Trump. The look prompted online discussion about her fashion choices, with her latest appearance drawing renewed attention to how her style has evolved.
Trump and Harp attended the Tennessee Volunteers vs. Texas Longhorns game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, on September 26. For the outing, Harp wore a black-and-white ensemble featuring a black top paired with a short white pleated skirt that peeked out from underneath.
She completed the look with pumps, while her blonde hair was styled in a chic bun. Harp’s outfit quickly became a talking point online and fans also took notice that First Lady Melania Trump was nowhere to be seen with her husband that day.
Natalie Faces Backlash Over Her Mini Skirts
Several social media users focused on the length of Harp’s skirt, with some questioning whether the outfit was appropriate for a highly photographed public appearance.
“Natalie Harp, laptop in hand, flounced about in a wee teeny skirt,” one person wrote on X.
“Why are Harp’s dresses getting shorter?” another asked.
A third commenter questioned why Harp was seated with Trump during the game instead of Melania, writing, “Not to sound woke, but isn't it a little crazy that his personal assistant is seated with them for this game/photo op - and not his wife. On a Saturday afternoon? Wearing the shortest skirt possible. Probably showing him some stupid AI video she was forwarded on Facebook.”
Another person wrote, “Who wears skirts that short nowadays - in public? She knows she’ll be photographed.”
