President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn today. The event, a beloved tradition, was attended by children and parents who gathered to enjoy the festivities.
Standing alongside a life-sized Easter bunny, President Trump addressed the crowd from the Blue Room balcony. He expressed his commitment to bringing religion back to America, stating, “We’re bringing a lot of things back, but religion is coming back to America.” The President also took a moment to acknowledge the passing of Pope Francis, who had died earlier that day at the age of 88. Trump praised the late Pope as a good man who worked hard and loved the world.
The First Lady, known for her impeccable style, made a fashion statement at this year’s event. Instead of the traditional pastel colors she had worn in previous years, Melania opted for a more muted look. She donned an off-white, double-breasted trench coat with a storm flap from Mackage, paired with gray patent leather pumps from Roger Vivier. This chic ensemble set her apart from other attendees, like Bettina Anderson and Karoline Leavitt, who chose to wear more traditional pastel hues.
In previous years, Melania had worn a variety of Easter-appropriate outfits, including a pale pink dress from Hervé Pierre in 2017, a pale blue cashmere jacket from Burberry in 2018, and a blue dress by Michael Kors in 2019. However, this year, she decided to switch things up with a more sophisticated and understated look.
The Easter Egg Roll is a time-honored tradition that brings together families from all walks of life to celebrate the holiday. President Trump and First Lady Melania’s presence at the event added a touch of elegance and charm to the festivities, making it a memorable day for all who attended.
