Melania Trump looked as trendy as ever on Tuesday as she stunned in a leopard print coat while appearing at the 19th annual International Women of Courage Awards ceremony at the State Department.
Melania was dressed in a chic, floor-length, leather leopard-print coat with a full skirt and thick, belted waist, complete with a black top underneath.
The coat was made by designer Milly Park, as part of their upcoming Fall/Winter 2025 collection.
The brand is based in Palm Beach, where Melania spends some of her time, and lived after her husband finished his first term in 2020.
Unfortunately for fashion fans, the coat is not yet available for purchase, but similar outerwear at Milly Park retail for around $1,300.
Melania completed the elegant look with a pair of simple black heels, and wore her hair in loose waves framing her face.
The chic animal print outerwear was a hit among style enthusiasts, as many took to X (formerly Twitter) to gush about how beautiful the first lady looked.
'Melania Trump slaying leopard today,' one user wrote.

Melania also noted that their collective 'dedication and achievement move us all.'
Melania's moving speech comes just one month after she made the first public remarks of her second tenure as first lady, speaking out against revenge porn and deep fakes generated by AI.
In her speech, she slammed Democrats for their lack of support on the issue.
'I expected to see more Democrat leaders with us here today to address this serious issue. Surely as adults, we can prioritize America's children ahead of partisan politics,' she said.
Representative Ro Khanna of California was the only Democratic lawmaker at the event, which took place in the U.S. Capitol building.
Melania also used the event to relaunch her Be Best initiative.
'In today's AI-driven world, the threat of privacy breaches is alarmingly high,' she noted. 'As First Lady, my commitment to the Be Best initiative underscores the importance of online safety. In an era where digital interactions are integral to daily life, it is imperative that we safeguard children from mean-spirited and hurtful online behavior.'
