Earlier this week, First Lady Melania Trump strode into the U.S. Capitol on a mission. She was there to lobby for a new online safety bill aimed at protecting children from revenge porn. It was her first solo public appearance since she resumed the role of first lady on January 20, and she made sure to arrive in style. The 54-year-old opted against a skirt and blouse, instead donning a camel-colored Ralph Lauren suit with a black ribbon tie, pointed lapels, collared shirt, and a matching vest.
Over the past few months, Melania has been power-dressing to the max, styling menswear designs with feminine touches. It’s been a far cry from the wardrobe we saw in her first stint as FLOTUS when she wore a powder blue wrap coat dress to the 2016 inauguration, tucked skinny-leg khakis into knee-high boots at the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Campaign, and teamed hot pink pumps with a banana yellow cape for the NATO Leaders Summit in 2019.
