It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas again at the White House, and this year came with a familiar face stepping back into a role she once famously complained about. Back in 2020, Melania Trump was caught on a leaked recording saying, “Who gives a f*** about Christmas stuff and decorations?” Yet five years later, here she is, returning to the north driveway to welcome this year’s Christmas tree and officially kick off the holiday season.
On November 24, the massive evergreen arrived by horse-drawn carriage from Michigan. Melania greeted it in full holiday-ready style. She wore a belted, calf-length Dior coat, long red gloves, and a pair of plaid printed pumps that many fashion watchers immediately recognized. These shoes have history. She first wore them at a Toys for Tots event in 2020, pairing them with crisp white pants and a navy blazer for a clean, classic look.
