Melania Trump Wears $3,500 Cream Gucci Coat to Visit Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day

Despite the novel coronavirus pandemic, First Lady Melania Trump still made sure to commemorate Memorial Day. She and her husband visited Arlington National Cemetery.

On Monday, Melania, 50, joined her husband President Donald Trump in paying tribute to Memorial Day. The first lady opted for a simple but elegant look for the event.

According to “Daily Mail,” the rules dictate that women should only wear white between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Melania honored the tradition by wearing the color at the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

HONORING MEMORIAL DAY

She and Donald Trump went to the cemetery to pay their respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The former model wore a cream white double-breasted wool coat by Gucci that costs $3,500.

She added a pair of white heels to complete her look. Taking to social media, the first lady wrote:

“#MemorialDay is a reminder of the tremendous sacrifices & bravery of our fallen service members.”

VISITING FORT MCHENRY

She also noted how she and Donald also visited the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine to “honor those who fought for our freedoms.” The first lady included a couple of photos from the outing.
