Melania Trump looked chic as she attended the World Cup final with her husband, Donald Trump, in an all-white ensemble and patriotic bomber jacket.
Argentina and Spain faced off on Sunday at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey to see who will get their hands on the coveted FIFA World Cup Trophy, which saw Spain ultimately win 1-0.
The First Lady, 56, and the President, 80, were spotted in the stands looking as happy as could be as they watched the highly-anticipated sporting event.
Melania kept it casual at the soccer match, donning a pair of loose white trousers and a matching white top.
She completed the look with a khaki bomber jacket that had red, white and blue stripes along the sleeves.
She left her long brown locks in loose, beach-like waves and accessorized with some large, reflective aviator-style sunglasses.
As for her husband, he kept it simple in a dark suit and bright red tie.
The couple sat in a box with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum.

They seemed in great spirits, and were seen chatting with fellow attendees and smiling throughout the match.
When Jennifer Hudson took to the field to sing the National Anthem, Melania stood with her hand on her heart while Trump held his up in a salute on his forehead.
In terms of predictions for the game, President Trump told Fox News’ Jenny Taft on the FIFA Red Carpet earlier on Sunday that ‘it’s hard to bet against Messi,’ speaking of Argentina’s 39-year-old soccer team captain Lionel Messi.
‘I would say that it’s hard to bet against Messi. I watched that pass – I guess you’d call it a pass. It was exactly perfect,’ he said.
‘Although it takes some talent to hit the ball off the head coming at that speed, but that was perfect. If you had a strike zone, it was exactly where it had to be.
‘And I watched also, just before that, the way he got away from the defender. He was very well defended.
‘All of a sudden, he’s standing by himself and he kicked it perfectly. And it’s hard to bet against him. I think it’s very hard to bet against Messi. He’s great.’
Trump also noted that he shared a close friendship with Argentina’s president, Javier Milei.

Fox News also reported that President Trump is expected to present the World Cup Trophy.
As the build-up to the game, expected to be watched by billions around the world, ramped up, fans were waiting for over four hours to have their tickets scanned in order to enter the stadium for the showpiece game.
The attendance of President Trump meant that airport-style security measures were also being enforced for everyone making their way inside the venue.
Trump is not the first president to attend a World Cup final match. In 1999, Former Democratic President Bill Clinton attended the Women’s World Cup final in Pasadena, California, to watch the U.S. team win the title. He also attended the 1994 opening ceremony of the Men’s World Cup.
In 2014, Joe Biden attended a Men’s World Cup match while he was Vice President.
