She addressed the media outside the White House in her attire as the annual tradition commenced on the South Lawn.
Embracing the spring theme, she unveiled her Easter ensemble, which seemed to be an elegant, square-neck lace dress from designer Self Portrait.
Leavitt's appearance coincided with President Trump and his wife welcoming thousands of guests to the yearly Easter celebration. However, this year saw a change as Trump swapped plastic Easter eggs for real ones, generously donated by American egg farmers.
This year's event was backed by several corporations, including YouTube, Amazon and Meta, according to NPR.
The funds raised will be donated to the nonprofit White House Historical Association.
However, egg hunting isn't the only thrilling activity planned for the South Lawn event.
As per The White House's website, other attractions include a Be Best Military Card Writing Station, cookie decorating station, Reading Nook, courtesy of Amazon and Be Best Hopscotch.
Children attending the event will also have the opportunity to engage in the America250 initiative, a precursor to the nationwide celebration of America's 250th founding anniversary.
The America250 initiative will enable kids to sign a mini Declaration of Independence and even dress up as the Founding Fathers.
Leavitt is named as a featured reader at the Reading Nook during the event, alongside U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and First Lady Melania, among others.

US distances itself from Israeli strikes on Iran
Shafaq News/ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed late Thursday that the United States was not involved in Israel's military strikes against Iran, describing the operation as a 'unilateral action' by Tel Aviv. 'Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran,' Rubio said in a statement issued by the White House shortly after reports of explosions in Tehran surfaced. 'We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.' Rubio noted that Israel had informed Washington of its intention to strike and had framed the action as a matter of self-defense. He emphasized that President Donald Trump's administration has taken 'all necessary steps' to ensure the safety of US personnel and maintain coordination with regional partners. The remarks came as Israel confirmed launching Operation Rising Lion, a broad military campaign that targeted key Iranian nuclear and military sites. Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran and other cities. 'Iran should not target US interests or personnel,' Rubio warned, making clear that while the US was not a party to the strikes, it would act to defend its assets if provoked.

Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Deploying National Guard in Los Angeles
As California Governor Newsom and President Trump continue to square off over the administration's militarized response to anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles, a federal judge has blocked the activation of National Guard troops in the city. Judge Charles Breyer ordered the Trump administration to return control of the guard to Newsom, saying the president had acted illegally in federalizing 4,000 guard troops against the governor's wishes. More from Variety PBS, NPR Could Lose $1.1 Billion in Funding After Trump's Rescission Bill Narrowly Passes House The Chrisleys Claimed Political Persecution to Get a Trump Pardon, but Records Tell a Different Story Bob Costas Slams Trump's 'Ongoing Assaults' on Free Press and Warns Against 'MAGA Media': 'Democracy As We Know It Is Under Attack' 'The Court concludes that Plaintiffs have demonstrated that the balance of equities tips in their favor and that an injunction restraining the President's use of military force in Los Angeles is in the public interest,' Breyer wrote. Protests have lasted nearly a week in Los Angeles following a series of raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement around Southern California. Trump declared on June 7 that the protesters were engaged in 'rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States,' and called out the guard. The ruling cites several dictionary definitions of 'rebellion' and concludes that the protests — including sporadic acts of violence — does not qualify. 'The protests in Los Angeles fall far short of 'rebellion,'' Breyer wrote. The order does not goes into effect until 12 p.m. PT on Friday; the Trump administration is expected to seek an appeal beforehand. The ruling came hours after Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a press conference in Los Angeles, taken to the ground, and put in handcuffs. The moment became an instant media firestorm, leading news sites, playing on cable news all day, and bringing condemnation from Democrats on the Senate floor. In an interview Thursday evening on MSNBC's 'The Beat with Ari Melber,' Padilla said he was listening to a press conference from Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, when 'the political rhetoric got to be too much.' 'At one point, it was just too much to take,' Padilla said in his first interview about the encounter. 'Not the first, but the second attack on the political leadership of California and this notion that Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have to come in and rescue the people of Los Angeles from Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass? It was too much. And so I spoke up.' Noem appeared at the FBI building in Westwood to vow to continue to crack down on the protests. 'We are not going away,' Noem said. 'We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country.' That was the point at which the senator reacted, moving toward the front of the room and raising his voice to ask a question. The agents apparently did not recognize Padilla — the lesser known of California's two senators — and grabbed him. He identified himself as he was pushed backwards and out of the room. 'To suggest that they have to come into Los Angeles to restore order — ' he told interviewer Jacob Soboroff. 'You know Los Angeles. It's a big, spread-out city. The images that we've seen over the course of the last week of some vandalism, some violence, et cetera, that's wrong. And I denounce it. But it's very small and very contained in a big metropolis of the Los Angeles area. So the National Guard was not necessary.' He said he did talk with Noem afterward, but never got a scheduled briefing on the federal response. 'If they're allowed to do this in Los Angeles, they can and they will do this in any corner of the country,' Padilla said.
