Melania Trump made it very clear that she will be a fashion- forward First Lady, selecting a stunning baby blue dress and jacket for her husband Donald's inauguration ceremony.
The public got their first glance at Melania's perfectly-tailored look when she departed Blair House alongside her husband on their way to mass at St. John’s Church on Friday morning.
Melania accessorized her outfit with a pair of heels, clutch and elbow-length gloves that were all the same hue of blue.
The 46-year-old then made the decision to keep everything else simple, choosing to play up her natural beauty by sweeping her hair into a loose undo and wearing no jewelry other than a pair of massive diamond solitaire studs.
Melania's decision to wear a pale blue and her choice of gloves made it immediately clear that she was channeling Jacqueline Kennedy, who wore a similar outfit back in 1961 when John F. Kennedy was sworn into office.
And for the big day, Melania turned to one of Hillary Clinton's favorite designers - Ralph Lauren.
