Melania Trump arrived at St. John's Episcopal Church with her husband Donald Trump only hours before he is scheduled to take the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States. The incoming First Lady undoubtedly looked stylish in a subtle navy blue outfit, with her fans calling her “Dark MAGA” on social media.

For the nonpartisan service, Melania chose to wear a long, fitted navy blue coat, black leather gloves, and navy blue suede heels. She complemented the otherwise classic ensemble with a white wrap top underneath the coat.

One thing that stole the limelight was a wide-brimmed navy hat with white trim around the top. With her chic hairstyle, she decided to wear small diamond earrings.

While there is no information on Melania's outfit's designer, her hat is strikingly identical to the one she sported during her June 2019 state visit to the UK with Donald. The hat was then designed by her stylist, Hervé Pierre.

Melania donned several European brands last night, including a Dolce & Gabbana blouse and a black sequin Carolina Herrera skirt, which she accessorized with a Saint Laurent cape coat.
