Melania Trump brought precision and polish to Monday's signing of the bipartisan Take It Down Act with a striking blend of menswear-inspired sophistication and signature glamour. The first lady, sporting a double-breasted gray Prada skirt suit paired her ensemble with signature Christian Louboutin heels, showcasing her command of power dressing in moments of political significance. The Prada suit features a feint plaid design that reflects the growing popularity of menswear tailoring in women's fashion. Melania's footwear choice, the instantly recognizable Christian Louboutin So Kate pump, added a subtle injection of femininity. Known for their scarlet soles and luxury status, the heels balanced the suit's austere lines with understated elegance. Her choice of Christian Louboutin heels underlines her ability to seamlessly merge high fashion with political gravitas, redefining the role of sartorial diplomacy one step at a time.

Beyond clothing, Melania's decision to cosign the bill—a move outside typical first lady protocol—reinforced her active advocacy for the legislation, which combats the exploitation of nonconsensual, sexually explicit content, including AI-generated deepfakes.

The shoes Rebecca Harding has worn to death – and what she'll buy next
Any go-to jewellery? I've never been a huge jewellery person, but my engagement ring is a staple. It's an emerald cut diamond set in platinum that Andy [Lee, her fiance] designed. I also wear a Jaeger-LeCoultre 'Reverso' watch and an Oura smart ring. Loading Can you remember a favourite outfit you wore as a child? When I was four, I was obsessed with a little navy-blue check dress with red hearts on the skirt and puff sleeves. What was your first fashion moment? Playing dress-ups in my grandma's wardrobe as a child. She travelled a lot and collected pieces from all over the world. My sister and I would play around with the silk headscarves, furs, Italian leather – it was a treasure trove. And your worst fashion mistake? A few years ago, I wore a pair of Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' stilettos for a full-day event and lost feeling in my foot for about a month afterwards. I haven't worn them since. I tried to resell them, but I think everyone's got the memo. What shoes do you wear most often? A pair of Hermes 'Chypre' shearling slides that have been worn to death. I can't repurchase them because they're always sold out. What's on your wish list? Dries Van Noten '70s-style suede sneakers. Is there something you would never wear? Never say never. I would've said skinny jeans, but they're making a comeback. I love the look of them with a tall, flat riding boot – I just haven't found the right pair yet. Is there a current trend you like? I'm loving that boho is back – the paisley prints and floaty dresses. Chloe's winter 2025 show was so beautiful, and we haven't really played in that sort of style for a few years. Who's your favourite fashion icon? I'm loving Daisy Edgar-Jones' vibe. In fact, I was almost convinced to cut a fringe. What do you wear on a typical working day? If I'm in the office it'll be jeans, oversized white shirt with a fun lacy bra underneath and 'Tabi' ballet flats. What's your favourite off-duty, casual Sunday look? I'll be in a Skims tracksuit, walking our dog Henrietta and going for breakfast with Andy.

Christian Louboutin Launches Eyewear In Partnership With Marcolin
The brand that made feet sex symbols is now aiming for the same glammed-up vamp look for the eyes. Enter Christian Louboutin's newly launched eyewear and optical offerings in partnership with Marcolin, the Italian eyewear giant that also produces designer frames for Tom Ford and Pucci but also more mass brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Kenneth Cole and Adidas Originals. The launch comes as the firm appointed a new US CEO, Marco D'Acunzo, an executive in the automotive, sport, and hospitality industries who was most recently with Piaggio Italian scooters. The collection features a total of nine sunglass styles in various colorways and four optical styles; the brand will retail from approximately $625 to $875 with distribution on and select Christian Louboutin boutiques and at Saks Fifth Avenue stores, with the retailer erecting a special window display for the shades debut. According to a release, the offerings include women's and men's styles and draw inspiration from Christian Louboutin's work in pursuit of the 'perfect structural lines. 'The eyewear range includes new ZEISS lenses, which provide crystal-clear, comfortable vision thanks to anti-reflective coatings, glare reduction, and durability treatments. Described as a collection of 'modern luxury' according to a company spokesperson, the styles blend acetate and metal trims and mechanics. Brand codes are present as a row of teeny spikes on a pair of oversized Navigator frames; minuscule red sole hardware adorns the frames of Art-Deco cat and oval styles. Mesh patterns on bridges and temples recall the designer's fishnet-inspired styles on the Roller and So Kate styles. At the same time, red details appear as linear accents on the exterior and interiors of the frames, such as the Georges or Greggo 2 frames. Some styles take 'rose-colored' glasses to a new level with cherry red lenses, as seen on a version of the Miss Z. Many details also mimic the brand's beauty offerings.

It was born from a shared passion for design excellence and iconic luxury, combining Louboutin's unmistakable vision with Marcolin's ability to create a bold, elegant, and instantly recognizable collection," said Marcolin Group Style and Product Development Director Lara Marogne. To celebrate, the brand invited VIPs such as Diane Kruger, Olivia Palermo, Francesca Scorsese, Jeremy Pope, and Law Roach to downtown hot spot The Nines, which is bathed in red décor and lighting for sultry soirée. Guests were treated to the captivating song stylings of Chloe Flower, an American classical pianist who twists the music form but combines it with contemporary music. As guests stood around the baby grand piano where she performed, sipping champagne and specialty cocktails, Flower joked that she had never played piano in sunglasses but was a die-hard fan who wears Louboutin shoes to play in. Before and after the performance, DJ Isabella Massanet, daughter of Net-A-Porter founder Natalie Massenet, offered a smooth and groovy soundtrack while guests had the opportunity to try on the shades.
