Melania Trump wears polka dots, white shirt dress
The dress featured a collar, left unbuttoned, and was coordinated with a pair of the first lady's fashion favorites: Manolo Blahnik pumps. Browne's eponymous luxury brand is another must-have for the mom of Barron Trump: in 2018, during President Donald Trump's first term, the British fashion designer said publicly that he respected her "as the First Lady and (dressing her) is something that I would respect." Melania Trump wears bold floral pants, bright pink heels On Thursday, July 3, Trump visited patients at the Children's National Hospital in Washington, wearing a seasonally trendy Gabriela Hearst polka dot blouse paired with a color-coordinated ivory pencil skirt and ballet flats from Roger Vivier. Last month, Trump's fashion choices took a turn when she sported Dolce and Gabbana peony-print cotton jacquard pants and pink suede Manolo Blahnik pumps while greeting guests during a White House event. With summer nearly underway, Trump wore the outfit as dozens flocked to the White House South Lawn for the 2025 Congressional Picnic. Trump's fashion choices, which are thought to reveal subtle hints about her mood and inner-most thoughts, are the subject of intense public interest in the same vein as Jacqueline "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis and Michelle Obama. On Jan. 20, she emerged in a dark navy silk wool coat and skirt with an ivory silk crepe blouse designed by Adam Lippes for her husband's second inauguration ceremony. The former fashion model -- and first practicing Catholic to serve as first lady since Jackie Kennedy -- also made headlines when she attended the April funeral service of Pope Francis in a double-breasted coat dress paired with a traditional veil, gloves and black stilettos.

Melania Trump compared to 'grandma's couch' in floral pants outfit with bright heels
Melania Trump compared to 'grandma's couch' in floral pants outfit with bright heels Show Caption Hide Caption Melania Trump statue sawed off, stolen A bronze statue of Melania Trump has gone missing in her home country of Slovenia, five years after it replaced a wooden statue that was burned. First Lady Melania Trump's risky fashion behavior has fully bloomed. With summer underway, the ultra-private wife of President Donald Trump made an appearance on June 12, as dozens flocked to the White House South Lawn for the 2025 Congressional Picnic. Again, Trump raised eyebrows after sporting Dolce and Gabbana peony-print cotton jacquard pants and pink suede Manolo Blahnik pumps while greeting guests during the event. The List, an entertainment and lifestyle site geared towards women, said the "eye-popping pants look like grandma's couch." Melania Trump wears black veil to Pope Francis' funeral as President Trump dons blue suit Trump's fashion choices, which are thought to reveal subtle hints about her mood, are the subject of fierce controversy and constant attention. On Jan. 20, she emerged in a dark navy silk wool coat and skirt with an ivory silk crepe blouse designed by Adam Lippes for her husband's second inauguration ceremony. Although she often surprises watchers with her bargain buys and luxurious looks alike, the low-key black dress (and viral matching wide-brim hat) at the swearing-in was a stark departure from the Jacqueline Kennedy-inspired powder blue dress that she wore for her husband's first inauguration in 2017. The former fashion model — and first practicing Catholic to serve as first lady since Jacqueline Kennedy — also made headlines when she attended the April 26 service of Pope Francis in a double-breasted coat dress paired with a traditional veil, gloves and black stilettos.

‘We Knew Everything,' Trump Tells Reuters about Israel's Strikes on Iran
Reuters U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Congressional Picnic at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., June 12, 2025. WASHINGTON, June 13 (Reuters) – After months of urging Israel not to strike Iran while he worked toward a nuclear deal, President Donald Trump told Reuters in a phone interview on Friday that he and his team had known the attacks were coming – and still saw room for an accord. 'We knew everything, and I tried to save Iran humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out,' Trump said. 'They can still work out a deal, however, it's not too late,' he added. Trump had repeatedly pushed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to delay an Israeli attack to give diplomacy more time, though the president himself had threatened to bomb the Gulf nation if nuclear talks failed. Trump's shifting stance around the Israeli strikes, which he called 'excellent' and 'very successful' in a series of media interviews on Friday, offered one of the most striking examples yet of how he conducts high-stakes negotiations through both frank public rhetoric and behind-the-scenes maneuvers. The U.S. president offered support for Israel's decision to launch a series of devastating raids in Iran, showing a willingness to embrace the use of military force to set back Tehran's nuclear program. In contrast, some allies stressed the need for restraint. Asked if the U.S. would support Israel against Iranian counterattacks, Trump said he supported Israel. He said he was not concerned about a regional war breaking out as a result of Israel's strikes but did not elaborate. 'We've been very close to Israel. We're their number one ally by far,' Trump told Reuters, adding, 'We'll see what happens.' Later on Friday, two U.S. officials said the U.S. military had helped shoot down Iranian missiles headed toward Israel. Talks in doubt Still uncertain is whether Trump's attempt to reach an agreement with Iran to halt uranium enrichment is still viable, with a sixth round of talks still scheduled for Sunday in Oman but now in doubt after the attacks. In negotiations with Iran, Trump sought to persuade the Iranians to give up uranium enrichment and was awaiting a counter-proposal from Iran. Tehran had balked at giving up enrichment, seemingly leaving little room for an agreement. 'They seek enrichment. We can't have enrichment,' Trump told reporters on Monday. As the week wore on, Trump sounded increasingly resigned to the prospect that Israel would strike and hinted that he knew more than he was willing to talk about publicly. 'I don't want to say it's imminent, but it looks like something that could very well happen. Look, it's very simple, not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Other than that, I want them to be successful,' he told reporters on Thursday before the raids began. Speaking to Reuters on Friday, Trump said he had given the Iranians 60 days to come to an agreement and that the time had expired with no deal. 'We knew just about everything,' he said. 'We knew enough that we gave Iran 60 days to make a deal and today is 61, right? So, you know, we knew everything.' Trump said it was unclear if Iran still has a nuclear program following Israeli strikes on the country. 'Nobody knows. It was a very devastating hit,' Trump said. Israel said it had targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders at the start of what it warned would be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Trump said the U.S. still has nuclear talks planned with Iran on Sunday but he was unsure they would take place. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff was scheduled to meet an Iranian delegation in Oman. 'They're not dead,' Trump said of the U.S.-Iran talks. 'We have a meeting with them on Sunday. Now, I'm not sure if that meeting will take place, but we have a meeting with them on Sunday.' The president had convened his top national security advisers at Camp David on Sunday night for what he said were discussions that included Iran, and he spoke to Netanyahu on Monday about Iran. A White House official said Trump spoke with Netanyahu again on Friday. Trump also held talks about the attacks with his National Security Council in the White House Situation Room. No details of the discussions were immediately available.
