Melania Trump is opting for simple looks during her husband's second term.

The first lady wore a white Thom Browne shirt dress to attend Fourth of July celebrations at the White House on Friday, July 4, also joining President Donald Trump for his "One Big, Beautiful Bill" signing.

The dress featured a collar, left unbuttoned, and was coordinated with a pair of the first lady's fashion favorites: Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Browne's eponymous luxury brand is another must-have for the mom of Barron Trump: in 2018, during President Donald Trump's first term, the British fashion designer said publicly that he respected her "as the First Lady and (dressing her) is something that I would respect."

On Thursday, July 3, Trump visited patients at the Children's National Hospital in Washington, wearing a seasonally trendy Gabriela Hearst polka dot blouse paired with a color-coordinated ivory pencil skirt and ballet flats from Roger Vivier.

Last month, Trump's fashion choices took a turn when she sported Dolce and Gabbana peony-print cotton jacquard pants and pink suede Manolo Blahnik pumps while greeting guests during a White House event.

With summer nearly underway, Trump wore the outfit as dozens flocked to the White House South Lawn for the 2025 Congressional Picnic.

Trump's fashion choices, which are thought to reveal subtle hints about her mood and inner-most thoughts, are the subject of intense public interest in the same vein as Jacqueline "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis and Michelle Obama.

On Jan. 20, she emerged in a dark navy silk wool coat and skirt with an ivory silk crepe blouse designed by Adam Lippes for her husband's second inauguration ceremony.

The former fashion model — and first practicing Catholic to serve as first lady since Jackie Kennedy — also made headlines when she attended the April funeral service of Pope Francis in a double-breasted coat dress paired with a traditional veil, gloves and black stilettos.
