Melania Trump turned heads in a striking aviator-inspired ensemble as she joined President Donald Trump at a special naval flight demonstration in Norfolk, Virginia, held in honor of the Navy’s 250th anniversary.
Stepping off Marine One onto the South Lawn of the White House, the First Lady showcased her stylish outfit. She layered a rich chocolate brown leather bomber jacket over a white button-down shirt, casually rolling up the sleeves.
The jacket’s structure showcased classic flight gear while offering a polished silhouette. She paired the statement jacket with slim-cut dark blue jeans that emphasized her long frame. She chose sleek, dark loafers to complete the outfit, a practical but stylish choice that grounded the whole look.
Oversized black aviator sunglasses added to the fun look, leaning into a military-casual vibe that suited the occasion. Melania also accessorized with a bold white baseball cap with “USA” stitched prominently across the front.
The cap, matching her husband’s signature style, stood out as a rare nod to his slogan-based wardrobe. “USA” was the same logo seen on Donald Trump’s own gear during the event, making it a visual symbol of unity between the couple during the public appearance.
Throughout the day, the Trumps mingled with military personnel, with Melania seen standing close to Donald as they greeted attendees. While he opted for his trademark red “Make America Great Again” cap, her choice of the white version made a quieter statement.
Melania’s appearance at the Virginia event marked a subtle but noticeable departure from her usual style. Known for her structured couture and luxury brands, she opted instead for a casual yet polished outfit that was clearly curated for the occasion.
The Trumps had earlier arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland aboard Air Force One before heading to the naval base for the celebration. The event drew a large crowd of service members, many of whom were seen in white uniforms as they watched the commemorative program unfold.
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.
