Melania Trump looked like she was headed to a red carpet rather than a hurricane zone as she set off for Texas wearing sky-high black heels Tuesday.

The first lady’s baffling choice of footwear lit up the Twitterverse — and her critics included one of the top law enforcement officials in the country.

“Those high heels are really practical for today,” Los Angeles Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff wrote on Twitter.

Melania and President Trump departed the White House shortly before 8 a.m. and boarded Marine One to head to Corpus Christi, where they’ll be briefed on rescue efforts during Tropical Storm Harvey.

“Leaving now for Texas!” Trump tweeted just after 8 a.m.

Melania completed her look with a pair of aviators and a green bomber jacket, while her husband was dressed more sensibly in a windbreaker, khaki pants and brown boots.

A Trump spokeswoman said the first lady had another pair of shoes to change into, according to the Washington Examiner.

Critics had a field day with her attire.

“She does know she’s going to a natural disaster, right? Not sure 4 inch heels is the most appropriate footwear,” tweeted Jaime Primak.

“Melania is wearing her stilts to prepare for the water,” joked @Annthippe.
