Naturally, fans couldn't get enough of her chic attire and headed to social media to share their thoughts. As noted by The Daily Mail, one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Melania's Coat Dress that she wore today is by designer, Valentino. Valentino used a print of the sculpture "The Kiss" in this collection that she's wearing." Someone else replied: "Everything she does is with thoughtful intention." They also wrote: "Style is back.
To complete her get-up, the incoming First Lady added sleek black pointed-toe heels from Manolo Blahnik. Mrs. Trump (who shares son Barron, 18, with her husband Donald, 78) also sparkled with the help of glimmering stud earrings.
As for her glam, Melania wore her caramel-colored tresses in a face-framing updo. For her makeup look, she opted for smokey gray eyeshadow, black liner, voluminous lashes, rosy blush and a glossy pink pout.
Following Carter's passing at the age of 100 last month, Melania's husband Donald released a statement. He wrote: "The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers."
