Melania Trump addressed the Department of Justice today at its National Opioid Summit in Washington D.C. wearing a bespoke look.

Her dress comes from Atelier Caito for Herve Pierre. Once the creative director for Carolina Herrera, Pierre has since become a stylist for the first lady, creating custom looks including her navy and white-trimmed collared dress with a fit and flare silhouette from today.

She paired the dress with classic pumps that have a smooth, dark upper, pointed toe and tall heel. The style falls in line with Trump’s favorite footwear styles including the Manolo Blahnik BB pumps — named after French style icon Brigitte Bardot — and the Christian Louboutin So Kate silhouette.

The former model was joined by Attorney General William Barr at the National Opioid Summit in discussing her Be Best initiative that focuses on the major issues facing children today; the three pillars of Be Best are well-being, online safety and opioid abuse.
