For the outing, the first lady opted for a double-breasted black coat dress with accentuated lapels and a flowing skirt. She accessorized the number with her signature square-frame sunglasses.

To counter the shorter hem of her winter-ready number, Melania opted for a sleek set of thigh-high boots from one of her most beloved footwear brands, Christian Louboutin. The red-bottom design featured slouchy Nappa leather uppers formed with exposed-stitched panels and a pointed-toe front. Titled the Eleonor Alta silhouette, the bottoms come set atop a sculptural 4-inch block heel for a heightened finish.

You can find Melania’s choice of bold footwear retailing for $2,195 at ChristianLouboutin.com.

The former model oftentimes prefers styles from two prominent brands in particular when it comes to high heels: Christian Louboutin, of course, and Manolo Blahnik. In addition to Louboutin’s signature 5-inch-tall So Kate heels, the first lady favors the towering Manolo Blahnik’s BB pumps, a classic design inspired by French style icon Brigitte Bardot.

When she isn’t in a heightened style, Melania Trump herself has also been spotted in flatter styles like her pair from Roger Vivier as well as shorter heels from Dior. Her designer-filled selection of apparel as well includes pieces from Ralph Lauren and Gucci, as well as bespoke designs from her personal stylist, Herve Pierre, former creative director for Carolina Herrera.
