First Lady Melania Trump arrived at President Donald Trump’s birthday UFC fight wearing a chic all-black ensemble.
The First Lady wore a leather jacket in her trademark way, perched over her shoulders, with a fitted black dress and pumps.
A military escort walked alongside her as she strutted on the South Lawn toward the towering ‘Claw,’ where she joined her husband.
The fight coincides with the President’s 80th birthday and is part of the semiquincentennial celebration, being produced by Freedom 250, the group Trump created by executive order to have some creative control over the events.
Ahead of the event, clouds gathered over the White House as thunderstorms threatened to delay the fights.
The First Lady has generally skipped attending UFC events alongside her husband, but was on hand last year for the military parade, marking the Army’s 250th birthday, which also landed on June 14.
The President will head to the G7 summit at the conclusion of Sunday night’s UFC event, flying to France overnight.
The First Lady is not attending this year’s G7.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
