Melania Trump attended the Commander and Chief Ball held on Sunday in Washington, D.C. alongside her husband President Donald Trump. The president and his wife will likely attend all three inaugural balls after Donald was sworn in this morning.

Classic and simple, Melania went the uncomplicated route in a pair of stark white pumps. The chosen silhouette, likely from Manolo Blahnik, included stark white uppers in what looked to be suede. The suede offered the silhouette textural interest. Triangular toes gave way to 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels that lifted the former model to new heights.

Manolo Blahnik’s BB silhouette is almost identical to the style Melania chose for the occasion. The silhouette also happens to be a favorite of hers, so much so that she wore the same sude style in black during Donald’s inauguration ceremony earlier today. The BB model comes in a range of heel heights and colorways.
