Last month, at the 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly, Melania wore a white pantsuit from Dolce & Gabbana, cinched at the waist, layered over a copper-toned blouse from Max Mara.

She paired the look with nude pointed-toe heels, as she joined spouses of world leaders, including Queen Rania of Jordan, at the Lotte New York Palace.
