Known for his “quiet luxury” approach, the designer has become a favorite for the First Lady, who also wore his navy and white suit to President Trump’s swearing-in earlier this year.

Adam Lippes’s connection to Melania's stylist, Herve Pierre, goes back decades to their mutual time at Oscar de la Renta, a designer who famously dressed first ladies.

Her latest fashion moments:

The First Lady wore a black sleeveless Bottega Veneta gown at the opening night of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The ensemble featured a high boat neckline and a gold fastening at the collar, part of the Italian label’s current collection.

Her look was completed with silver stilettos, specifically the 12cm Eklectica model by Christian Louboutin, now discontinued.

Wearing a sharply tailored gray Prada skirt suit featuring a plaid finish, Melania was all business in a look that echoed classic menswear influences while embracing her signature elegance.
