First Lady Melania Trump was seen suiting up for her husband President Donald Trump's first presidential debate on Tuesday, September 29. Melania was seen wearing a sharp black-and-white pinstripe suit from Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2019 ready-to-wear collection. The suit sells at around $2,345 and it features sharp jutting shoulders as well as dramatic peaked lapels. Melania sported the outfit while leaving the White House for Cleveland, Ohio.

Melania had decided to pair the outfit with a white button-down shirt and a pair of navy sunglasses which are very similar to Fendi, Breitbart reports. She had also worn a pair navy Manolo Blahniks and later changed into navy Christian Louboutins when she arrived in Cleveland.

Melania had accompanied her husband to Cleveland for the first of three presidential debates. According to Express, Melania had worn a double-breasted jacket and had been cut off her slim waist. The jacket featured pockets on either side. She chose to sport some simple makeup and sported a nude lip gloss with a slick of bronzer. She had styled her brown hair into a middle parting and had worn her hair straight. Many social media users took to the comments section to praise Melania for her flawless look. One such user wrote: "She looks beautiful in this outfit, but what always strikes me about First Lady Melania is her kindness and graciousness towards others. She's so beautiful on the inside! She inspires me to love others and stand for what's right and true! :))"

"Loving Melania Trumps suit tbh. Highlight of the debate," said a user while another added, "Melania looked gorgeous. And, how come your article doesn’t list what Jill Biden paid for her outfit? Your bias shows. Anyways, I immediately said wow I love what she’s wearing. Melania Trump is the most beautiful first lady ever!" "Not a Trump Fan, but I will give props when props are due. Melania is killing it in that suit. Almost thought it was Mrs. President in this pic," yet another social media user commented 

Another user who echoed the same sentiments had written, "I wish some of that Dolce & Gabbana love would spill over to POTUS! They do men’s wear too! Magnifica!"

However, some social media users did call Melania out on the suit and said it was too expensive. One such user had written, "$3,340 striped Dolce & Gabbana suit. When you only pay $750 in taxes. USA USA USA."

"In a dolce and gabbana suit that she can't afford and has no intention of paying for, you mean," another pointed out.

We had earlier reported that ahead of the first presidential debate, first daughter Ivanka Trump took to Instagram to post a picture of four ladies in her family, including herself, Melania, Tiffany and Lara Trump backstage, all of them posing wearing face masks. While many of the anti-Trump social media users mocked the photo as well as the caption posted by Ivanka, others were not happy to see members of the first family with their faces covered. To express the excitement for the debate, Ivanka simply captioned the picture "Let's Go!" followed by a US flag emoji.
