Melania Trump joined her husband, Donald Trump, at the State Funeral Service for former U.S. President Jimmy Carter at the Washington National Cathedral. She wore a striking black trench dress with an oversized white collar from Valentino’s Fall 2019 collection, featuring an abstract print of a couple surrounded by roses and butterflies. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, complementing her sophisticated ensemble, which garnered praise on social media for its elegance.

Donald Trump opted for a black suit and blue tie. The service began at 10 a.m., honoring Carter with tributes from President Joe Biden and other dignitaries. A notable moment was Barack Obama seated next to Donald Trump, engaging in a lengthy conversation. The solemn event was attended by all five living U.S. presidents and former vice presidents.
