First lady Melania Trump chose not to break from her own fashion tradition, channeling her official White House portrait for the first State of the Union address of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Fresh off the theatrical release of her documentary “Melania” last month, the first lady donned a tieless dark suit, black belt and matching heels as she joined her family to watch the speech on Tuesday, Feb. 24. The first lady is thought to translate cryptic messages with her public wardrobe, a theory formed during her husband’s first term in office.
The first lady invited two students, Sierra Burns and Everest Nevraumont, who represent her “Be Best, Fostering the Future” initiative, according to Fox News.
“Melania,” which follows the first lady in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, surprised at the box office with a theatrical debut of $7 million. The documentary had been expected to generate $3 million to $5 million in its opening weekend. The following weekend brought a 67% decline.
