Melania Trump made a notable appearance at the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll, wearing a strikingly simple outfit that highlighted its Canadian connection. The centerpiece of her look was the “GAEL-V Maxi Leather Trench Coat,” an off-white, double-breasted design from the upscale Canadian brand Mackage, known for its structured silhouette and stylish details.

In addition to the trench coat, Melania paired her outfit with gray patent leather pumps from Roger Vivier, complementing the muted color scheme. Fashion critics noted that her choices were notably understated, contrasting with the vibrant pastels typically associated with Easter celebrations. Vogue described her look as “muted” and “subdued,” reflecting a more reserved tone.

During Donald Trump’s first term, Melania opted for more traditional Easter attire, such as a pale pink dress and a blue cashmere jacket. This year, her choice of a simpler outfit was interpreted as a response to the somber news of Pope Francis’s death, which was acknowledged during the event.

The New York Times remarked that Melania’s fashion decisions are not necessarily political, emphasizing her desire to dress by her own rules rather than conforming to expectations. Her participation in the event included reading to children, and President Trump praised her efforts in planning the celebrations.
