Melania Trump wore menswear again. It's becoming her signature style for this term.
Melania Trump hit the Capitol to discuss a bill meant to help victims of deepfake and revenge porn.
She arrived Monday wearing a tan suit, matching heels, and a black tie.
The menswear style is one of a few she's worn so far during Donald Trump's second term in office.
Melania Trump's recent White House fashion choices can be described in one word: menswear.
The first lady made an appearance at the US Capitol on Monday to support the Take It Down Act — a bill that would make posting revenge porn a federal crime.
While entering the roundtable discussion via the Senate carriage entrance, she was photographed wearing a three-piece tan suit, a black tie, a white button-down top, and matching pumps.
The sharp look matched other menswear ensembles she's sported so far during President Donald Trump's second term in office.
The first lady wore a similar style about a week earlier, on February 22, at the National Governors Association dinner hosted at the White House.
For the occasion, she chose a black suit jacket, ankle-length skinny dress pants, and a white tuxedo blouse with a sharp collar. She also sported her signature pointed pumps.
Melania's style switch feels significant
The recent masculine shift in Trump's style is significant. During her husband's first years in office, the former model more often wore midi dresses, skirt and blouse sets, and gowns.
In her first White House portrait, she did wear a suit, though her accessories at the time were feminine. She's wearing two diamond rings and a sequined neck scarf in the image.
This time around, Melania leaned more strongly into menswear for her official portrait.
In her new portrait, she's wearing a satin suit jacket, a white blouse with buttons left undone, a cummerbund, and pleated pants — all while making a power stance against a table.
The first lady hasn't yet shared any details about why she's started gravitating toward suits.
Still, just like Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris, she seems to have least realized the impact of power dressing.
