Melania Trump made a distinctive sartorial choice at the funeral of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, diverging from the tradition of all-black attire observed by other former first ladies on Tuesday.

For the private tribute service held at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Trump donned a gray tweed overcoat with a subtle cinched belt accentuating her waist.

The knee-length coat gracefully revealed her bare legs as it flowed down to her mid-calf. The ensemble raised speculation about whether Trump wore a black outfit beneath the coat or if the outerwear itself functioned as a coat dress for the solemn occasion.

What did the other guests wear?

Accompanied by black leather gloves, Trump complemented her look with loosely curled locks. In contrast, the three other former first ladies in attendance, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton, who all opted for event-appropriate black ensembles.

Michelle Obama chose a black turtleneck paired with matching pants, layered with a black blazer. She styled her hair in a sleek ponytail, adorned with silver chunky hoops. Laura Bush sported a three-quarter sleeve black dress, accessorized with an oversized pearl necklace, while Hillary Clinton wore a buttoned-up black coat.

The current First Lady, Jill Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris also paid their respects. Jill Biden wore black long-sleeve shirt, black skirt, and black tights.

The private tribute service, attended by luminaries including President Joe Biden and former President Bill Clinton, marked a moment of remembrance for Rosalynn Carter. Notably, Jimmy Carter, who recently celebrated his 99th birthday, made a rare appearance to honor his late wife during the ceremony.

This has been one of Melania Trump's rare public appearances since she left her post as first lady when Donald Trump lost the 2020 Presidential Election.
