Melania Trump At State Of The Union 2018: All-White Capri-Pant Suit

Melania Trump arrived at President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address wearing an all-white capri-pant suit. Tuesday was Melania's first official public appearance since the Wall Street Journal published a report alleging her husband was involved with a porn star.

Melania was seated next to Officer Ryan Holets, of the Albuquerque Police Department, donning a white Christian Dior capri-pant suit with a matching silk Dolce & Gabbana blouse and Christian Louboutin pumps. She took the crowd by surprise when she arrived in a separate car from her husband, in contrast to the previous first ladies Michelle Obama and Laura Bush, both of who traveled with their husbands for each of their eight respective State of the Union addresses.

Melania's all-white outfit reminded many of Trump’s address to Congress last February, where female democratic senators donned the color to pay homage to the suffragettes and the fight for women’s equality. Hillary Clinton also wore a white suit for Trump’s inauguration.

The first lady's appearance at the state of the union came at a difficult time as sources close to the Trump family reportedly told the New York Times on Monday that Melania was “blindsided” by the Journal’s report and was “furious” with her husband.

Since the Journal report surfaced, Melania had been lying low for most of the month. She also canceled her trip to join the president at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s spokeswoman, told CNN on Monday that Melania was going to skip the trip because of “scheduling and logistical issues."

Earlier this month, the Journal reported the president's personal lawyer Michael Cohen paid a hefty amount of $130,000 to Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, just before the 2016 presidential elections to remain quiet about an alleged affair she had with Trump in 2006. Cohen has maintained his innocence and has so far rejected the claims made in the report.

In a statement Tuesday, Daniels said she is denying an affair with Trump not because of a settlement but because “it never happened.” Daniels said she had “no further comment” on the matter.
