All eyes were on Melania Trump as she made a striking return to the spotlight at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, effortlessly leading the night’s best dressed in a look that was both powerful and timeless.
The First Lady wore a Dolce & Gabbana black one-piece tuxedo made of wool, high-waisted, with wide double-breasted silk lapels, a bold sartorial choice that perfectly balanced classic tailoring with modern elegance.
Standing alongside Donald Trump, Melania exuded quiet confidence, her sharply tailored silhouette offering a refreshing departure from the traditional gowns typically seen at the high-profile event.

Melania, 56, celebrates her birthday tomorrow and her youthfulness she credits to her late mother.
"When you take care of yourself, you can take care of others," Melania said In a 2011 interview with Allure. She also recalled advice from her late mother: "Regarding the skin and the body, to have some relaxation time. It's good for your mind and your skin as well."

According to a 2019 Inside Edition report, Melania has the same breakfast every day: a smoothie made from blueberries, carrots, spinach, fat-free yogurt, and apple juice. She also aims to eat at least seven pieces of fruit a day, with apples and peaches being her favourites.
She supplements her diet with vitamins, and has said: "I take vitamins A, C, and E to keep my skin, hair, and nails healthy."

In 2012, she told Refinery29: "I just like to eat healthy because I feel better and have more energy," she said. She continued: "If I snack, I would snack on maybe fruit or a little bit of chocolate, because I think your body needs that, too."
Melania's commitment to wellness extends to her fitness routine, with Pilates and tennis said to be her go-to activities. According to GQ, she also wears ankle weights most days - a subtle addition that may boost calorie burn over time. The 55-year-old has specifically credited Pilates with helping her regain her figure after the birth of her son Barron, and often used to share photos of herself playing tennis or preparing for a Pilates session.
