The National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony in Washington, DC, is meant to be a moment of pure, unadulterated festive glamour—a picture-perfect, heart-warming spectacle for the First Family. But this year, as the massive tree blazed with light across the capital, it was the dark, almost horrified expression on Melania Trump's face that truly captured, and then instantly lit up, social media.
Standing stoically by her husband, Donald Trump, on Thursday, November 4, the First Lady, 55, was part of the annual tradition, which saw the president, 79, wish their guests a 'Merry Christmas' and introduce a line-up of performers including The Beach Boys and Alana Springsteen.
