Melania Trump channels Jackie Kennedy at inauguration

Melania Trump made it very clear that she will be a fashion- forward First Lady, selecting a stunning baby blue dress and jacket for her husband Donald's inauguration ceremony.

The public got their first glance at Melania's perfectly-tailored look when she departed Blair House alongside her husband on their way to mass at St. John’s Church on Friday morning.

Melania accessorized her outfit with a pair of heels, clutch and elbow-length gloves that were all the same hue of blue.





The 46-year-old then made the decision to keep everything else simple, choosing to play up her natural beauty by sweeping her hair into a loose undo and wearing no jewelry other than a pair of massive diamond solitaire studs.

Melania's decision to wear a pale blue and her choice of gloves made it immediately clear that she was channeling Jacqueline Kennedy, who wore a similar outfit back in 1961 when John F. Kennedy was sworn into office.

And for the big day, Melania turned to one of Hillary Clinton's favorite designers - Ralph Lauren.



Melania's double-faced cashmere creation consists of a mock-turtleneck dress, over which she is wearing a short jacket with three-quarter length sleeves that features a bold collar which clasps at the neck with a cutaway.

The news that Melania had chosen a look from Ralph Lauren was revealed shortly after she was first seen in the outfit on Friday.

'With the historic swearing-in of her husband, Donald J. Trump, as the 45th President of the United States, the First Lady -elect will become America’s new First Lady wearing an American designer who transformed American fashion,' said Melania's spokesperson in a statement
