The first lady has rarely missed an opportunity to wear an on-theme outfit to an engagement, and this week she stayed on course.
Melania Trump, 48, accompanied her husband on a trip to Iraq on Wednesday, where the pair met with soldier and posed for smiling selfies as they wished gathered service members a Merry Christmas.
While the soldiers they posed with wore fatigues, Melania still looked like she fit right in, dressed in a saffron-colored military-style jacket not so dissimilar from the Army’s dress uniforms.
Melania appeared to be in great spirits for the meet-and-greet, and stood beside her grinning husband as they took selfies with a handful of service members.
She wore her hair down around her shoulders, a pink lip, and plenty of bronzer and eye makeup for the event.
Melania clearly chose her outfit carefully for the occasion, dressing up plain black pants with the sunny military coat, a $995 Victoria Beckham find.
Instead of heels, she favored a pair of flat, practical Timberland hiking boots — but seemed a tad unaccustomed to holding her feet in that position, and stood up on her tip-toes in the shoes for some pictures.
On Wednesday, though, the first couple’s secret trip took many by surprise, coming amid speculation that President Trump was not at the White House — because he had not tweeted for hours and the Marine that stands guard when he’s in the Oval Office was not outside the West Wing.
President Trump and the First Lady traveled to Iraq late on Christmas night to visit with our troops and Senior Military leadership to thank them for their service, their success, and their sacrifice and to wish them a Merry Christmas.
Makes me so proud to see our President and First Lady together in a war zone.
