Melania Trump wore menswear again. It's becoming her signature style for this term.

  • Melania Trump visited the US Capitol Monday to discuss the "Take It Down Act" aimed to help victims of deepfake and revenge porn.
  • She arrived wearing a tan suit, matching heels, and a black tie.
  • The menswear style is one of a few she's worn so far during Donald Trump's second term in office.

Melania Trump's recent White House fashion can be described in one word: menswear.

The first lady made an appearance at the US Capitol on Monday to support the "Take It Down Act" β€” a bill that would make posting revenge porn a federal crime.

While entering the discussion via the Senate Carriage hallway, Melania was photographed wearing a three-piece tan suit, black tie, white button-down top, and matching pumps.

The sharp look matches other menswear ensembles she's sported so far during her husband, Donald Trump's second term in office.

Melania wore a similar style almost a week earlier, on February 22, at the 2025 National Governors Association dinner hosted at the White House.

For the occasion, she chose a black suit jacket, skinny, ankle-length dress pants, and a white tuxedo blouse with a sharp collar. The first lady also sported her signature pointed pumps.

Melania's style switch feels significant

The recent masculine shift in Melania's style is significant. Between 2016 and 2020, during her first years in office, the former model more often wore midi dresses, skirt-and-blouse sets, and gowns.

In herΒ first White House portrait, she did wear a suit, though her accessories at the time were feminine. She's seen wearing two diamond rings and a sequined neck scarf in the image.

This time around, however, Melania leaned more strongly into menswear for her official portrait.

Her new portrait shows her wearing a satin suit jacket, a white blouse with buttons left undone, a cummerbund, and pleated pants β€” all while making a power stance against a table.

The first lady hasn't yet shared any details about why she's started gravitating toward suits.

Still, just like Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris, she seems to have least realized the impact of power dressing.

  • Colman Domingo attended the 2025 Oscars in a custom red-and-black look by Valentino.
  • He paired the statement suit with a made-to-order Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.
  • The accessory, set with baguette-cut diamonds, reportedly cost $160,000.

Colman Domingo wore a statement-making watch for his big night at the Oscars.

Domingo, 55, is nominated for best actor for his performance in "Sing Sing," about a group of incarcerated men who stage a play in prison.

He looked every bit the leading man for the awards ceremony, arriving in a custom Valentino suit designed by the brand's creative director Alessandro Michele and styled by Wayman + Micah.

None of Domingo's accessories stood out as much as his Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch in 18-karat Canopus Gold.

The made-to-order watch was set with baguette-cut diamonds, making it even more valuable. According to the Omega website, the style of watch has been "a part of all six moon landings."

GQ reported the custom piece cost a whopping $160,000. His stylists did not immediately return a request for comment.

A staple brand of the luxury watch world, Omega is also worn by Silicon Valley tech icons, including Jeff Bezos. Its parent company, Swatch, said in January that stronger sales in the US market stand in contrast to a slower China market.

Several other attendees wore Omega pieces to the Oscars, including Robert Downey Jr., "Dune" director Denis Villeneuve, and Kieran Culkin, who won the best supporting actor Oscar for his performance in "A Real Pain."

Domingo wore a red jacket that was cinched at the waist with a sash and had wide black lapels. Black tassel detailing on the sash added a playful touch. A red button-down, black pants, and black Valentino Garavani Bowow Loafers completed the look.

Domingo was just one of the best-dressed men at the 2025 Oscars who experimented with colorful suits, though he elevated his ensemble with luxury accessories beyond the Omega watch.

Red-tinted sunglasses brought a fun edge. Domingo also wore jewelry from Maison Boucheron, including a bracelet from the brand's private collection, a brooch, a cat ring, and diamond stud earrings.
