Melania Trump stepped out alongside her husband, President Donald Trump, for the 25th anniversary commemoration of the September 11, 2001 attacks at the Pentagon in Washington, DC.
The President and First Lady participated in the 9/11 Observance Ceremony and Wreath Laying Ceremony. They were joined by Donald Trump Jr., Attorney General Blanche, Education Secretary McMahon, Energy Secretary Wright, DHS secretary Mullin, Secretary Hegseth, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine.
During the ceremony, the 9/11 Pentagon victims were read while solemn music followed. Then, a Chaplain held a moment of silence for the victims and a prayer.

The tailored number was layered over a black silk georgette blouse and styled with black Manolo Blahniks. Melania's hair was styled into soft waves and she opted for natural makeup, with a subtle smoky eye and nude lip.
"Today we renew the sacred oath that we first swore in their names… We will never ever forget," said Donald during the ceremony "We will honor their lives. We cannot forget that moment of immense and horrible evil."

Melania Trump's notable outfits
This isn't the first time Melania has turned to the Italian fashion house for an important event. Ahead of the president's swearing-in ceremony in January, Melania wore a black sequined Carolina Herrera long skirt to the Candlelight Dinner. The garment was paired with a menswear-inspired Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo shirt, complemented by a cummerbund and a floor-length tuxedo-style wool cape from Saint Laurent that featured duchess silk lapels.

Melania layered a white pantsuit by Dolce & Gabbana over a copper-hued blouse from Max Mara. The stylish blazer was cinched at the waist while the pants were cut elegantly just above the ankle. Melania teamed her monochromatic look with a pair of nude-colored, pointed-toe heels.
During an interview with HELLO!, Melania's stylist, Hervé Pierre, discussed the First Lady's signature refined look. "She likes tailored suits and sharp lines. She will not start wearing ruffles and floral prints just because she is starting a new chapter," he shared.

It will evolve, certainly, but the core of her look will remain in the same vein. She was always confident in her choices – I am just helping her."
