WASHINGTON, D.C. February 24, 2026 – First Lady Melania Trump arrived with poise and timeless style at the United States Capitol on Tuesday evening ahead of President Donald J. Trump’s first State of the Union address of his second term.
A video shared moments ago by the official White House Rapid Response account (@RapidResponse47) captured the First Lady’s graceful entrance, drawing immediate praise from supporters across social media who described her as “stunning” and “the best First Lady ever.”
Mrs. Trump was dressed in a sophisticated anthracite-colored wide-leg pantsuit by Dolce & Gabbana, paired with a crisp white cotton shirt and elegant gray flannel Manolo Blahnik heels — a refined look that perfectly reflected her signature fashion sensibility.
President Trump and the First Lady departed the White House together earlier in the evening for the joint session of Congress. In the First Lady’s box, she will be joined by two special guests tied to her personal initiatives: Sierra Burns, a foster youth advocate from Greenville, South Carolina, who has benefited from the Melania Trump Foster Youth to Independence Program, and 10-year-old Everest Nevraumont of Texas, a passionate young advocate for AI education.
The address, set for 9 p.m. ET on February 24, is expected to outline the administration’s America First priorities, including economic growth, border security, and national achievements in the opening year of President Trump’s second term as the 47th President.
Social media reactions to the First Lady’s arrival have been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting her continued role as a graceful and influential figure on the national stage.
