Melania Trump is all business.
The first lady looked effortlessly gorgeous at Tuesday evening’s State of the Union 2026 address, wearing a pantsuit by Dolce & Gabbana, paired with Manolo Blahnik heels and a white cotton shirt.
Donald Trump and Melania are big fans of Dolce & Gabbana and they have been frequently seen wearing the label at various public events.
Melania, 55, supported husband Donald as he gave his presidential speech, joined by son Barron Trump as well as her stepchildren, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
The family were also accompanied by two guests in Trump’s box seating that represent issues she’s passionate about: the foster system and the Presidential AI Challenge.
The addition of the first lady’s own guests separate from the president’s is a break from precedent that reflects her values.
Melania previously attended the State of the Union address in 2018, when she wore a white Dior pantsuit, and in 2020, for which she chose a black Dolce & Gabbana skirt suit.
The latter look stood in contrast to the all-white outfits the Democratic attendees, including Nancy Pelosi, wore to honor the suffragettes on the 100th anniversary of white women earning the right to vote.
Last week, the first lady donated her second inaugural gown, a black-and-white design by Hervé Pierre, to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
To deliver remarks at the event, Melania wore a monochromatic look that included leather leggings, snake-embossed Christian Louboutin boots and a double-breasted Bottega Veneta coat.
