FIRST Lady Melania Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt have been praised for their festive Easter outfits.
The White House ladies showed up in style to the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday,
Melania, 54, was seen wearing a cream, belted trench coat and metallic heels as she showed up to the annual Easter tradition hand-in-hand with President Donald Trump.
The first lady immediately garnered praise from people tuning in to the livestream of the event, which is held on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington DC.
“This Easter Egg Roll just leveled up in style and grace,” one fan wrote on X.
“She is so stunning!” another added.
A third wrote that the first couple bring “class, dignity, and real American pride” to the White House.
Meanwhile, 27-year-old Leavitt wore a baby blue dress covered in buttons and flowery lace designs.
The press secretary also wore her signature cross necklace.
She arrived at the event with her husband, 60-year-old Nicholas Riccio, pushing their nine-month-old son Niko, who celebrated his first Easter this weekend, in a stroller.
Leavitt and Melania both read stories to children at the Easter Egg Roll, where the president said over 42,000 attendees were expected.
The White House tradition dates back to 1878.
Children are invited to the South Lawn to roll colorfully painted eggs across the finish line in the grass.
