She completed the outfit with Christian Louboutin’s silver metallic python So Kate pumps.
Underneath the blazer, she wore a coordinating light pink top and tied the look together with a slim pink belt accentuating her waist.

Melania Trump Honors Military Moms
During the event, the 56-year-old honored military mothers with an emotional speech recognizing their strength, sacrifice, and resilience.
“I often think about the brave people who make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom,” she said as she opened her remarks during the White House tribute to military mothers ahead of Mother’s Day.
The Melania author specifically honored the fallen service members from the 103rd Sustainment Command who were killed on March 1, 2026, at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait while supporting Operation Epic Fury.
“It is these military mothers who find themselves alone, awake in their thoughts, in the darkest hours of the night,” she continued. “Of course, we must also remember the mothers with a spouse overseas, praying for a safe return so their family can become whole once again.”
Before introducing President Trump, Melania also praised her husband’s leadership and compassion. “Most know my husband as the strong Commander in Chief, but his empathy transcends the role and shapes a caring leader who constantly remembers each and every American soldier is someone’s child,” she said.
