Melania Trump accompanied her husband, Donald Trump, to the State Funeral

Service for former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Thursday.

The solemn occasion took place in Washington, D.C., at the Washington National Cathedral.

For the event, the 54-year-old incoming first lady wore an elegant

yet eye-catching outfit. She wore a black trench dress with a striking,

oversized white collar from Valentino’s Fall 2019 collection. Her otherwise

simple funeral attire was given a creative touch by the one-of-a-kind design,

which featured an abstract print of a couple cuddling while surrounded by roses and butterflies.

At the State Funeral Service, her husband Donald Trump chose to dress

more subtly by donning his trademark black suit and blue tie.

Melania Trump’s long hair was swept back in an exquisite updo to go with

her sophisticated ensemble, which has raised questions about whether or not

she used extensions. The former model, who is renowned for her impeccable style,

frequently favors high-end labels like Versace, Alexander McQueen, and Dolce & Gabbana.
