And while reporting from the White House, newsreader Natalie Barr wore a light blue coat.
Back in the studio in Sydney, David ‘Kochie’ Koch chose to wear a blue tie.

Sam Armytage’s fill-in, Monique Wright, dressed in a white frock for the occasion – and spoke in front of a backdrop graphic of the White House.
Sam, who is known for her more conservative politics, is not working this week.
Daily Mail Australia have contacted a representative for Channel Seven for comment.
In 2017, Sam attended Australian politician Mark Latham’s new TV show launch, where 400 attended for the conservative Free Speech Forum.
At the event, Mr Latham, who led the Labor Party to defeat in 2004, teased the audience about his possible plans to run for the Senate as a candidate with the right-wing Liberal Democrats.
Samantha and Seven Network newsreader Michael Usher were spotted together eating gourmet hamburgers and drinking Southern Highlands Brewing craft beer outside the tent as Mr Latham told the audience what he would do if he made a political comeback.
The lush bush property south-west of Sydney was hosting media insiders, including former Seven and Nine network boss David Leckie, as they witnessed the launch of the Mark Latham’s Outsiders program, a show fronted by a man from the suburbs of western Sydney.

Alan Jones, radio 2GB’s conservative breakfast show king, shared the stage with Latham, along with Liberal MP Tim Wilson, Bangladeshi-born Muslim psychiatrist Tanveer Ahmed and barrister Louise Clegg, the wife of Turnbull Government Assistant Minister Angus Taylor.
Conservative News Corp columnist Piers Akerman and Spectator Australia columnist Michael Baume, a former Liberal senator, were also among the elite crowd.

All Australian channels are running wall-to-wall coverage of the U.S. election results.
Like with past elections, ABC TV, SBS, channels Seven, Nine and Ten will all be covering the results.
Polls close in America between 7pm and 9pm local time – which means in Australia, the latest poll in Alaska should close around 3pm AEST on Wednesday 4 November.
Channels began their coverage from 5am, and will continue to do so throughout the day.
