Melania Trump once again proved her status as a fashion icon by defying expectations with her Valentine’s Day outfit. Instead of the traditional red, the former first lady opted for an elegant all-white ensemble that showcased her signature polished style.
In a striking Instagram photo, Melania wore a sophisticated Cara Cara midi skirt featuring a scalloped hem and tailored dart details. She paired it with a matching blouse and a wide white belt that accentuated her waist, completing the effortlessly chic look.

Known for her refined fashion sense, Melania has consistently embraced structured, tailored pieces. According to her longtime stylist and designer, Hervé Pierre, she remains true to her aesthetic whether she’s in the public eye or behind closed doors.
“Even when she’s not making public appearances, she’s always perfectly dressed,” Pierre said in an exclusive interview with HELLO! magazine. “Her signature look is often a pair of fitted pants with a crisp white shirt.”

Pierre emphasized that Melania prefers clean lines, sharp tailoring, and sleek silhouettes, resisting trends that don’t align with her personal style. “She won’t abruptly start wearing ruffles or floral prints just because she’s entering a new chapter,” he added. “Her fashion choices have always been confident and consistent, and that’s not going to change.”
Despite frequent speculation about hidden messages in her clothing choices, Pierre made it clear that Melania’s outfits are selected for their style and appropriateness—not for symbolism.

“People love to analyze her fashion choices, but the reality is, there’s no secret message behind them,” he explained. “When most people get dressed in the morning, they’re not thinking about sending a coded statement to the world, and neither is she. My job is to make sure the look is appropriate for the occasion and looks stunning. If those two boxes are checked, then my work is done.”
As Melania embarks on her second term as first lady, she has made it clear that she will be splitting her time between multiple locations, balancing her responsibilities between Washington, D.C., New York City, and Palm Beach.
“I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach,” she recently clarified.

Reflecting on her approach to the role, Melania has drawn inspiration from past first ladies, previously stating that she admired the traditional elegance of Jackie Kennedy and Betty Ford. However, her top priority remains her family, particularly her son, Barron.
“My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife,” she said in an interview ahead of President Trump’s inauguration. “And once we are in on January 20, you serve the country.”
As she continues to navigate life in the White House, one thing remains clear—Melania Trump’s signature style is here to stay.
