While soccer fans watched Chelsea defeat Paris Saint-Germain at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Final, fashion watchers had their eyes elsewhere. All attention was on First Lady Melania Trump’s latest signature look.
Melania arrived alongside President Donald Trump at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, drawing attention with a pair of oversized white Dior sunglasses that instantly sparked conversation and style commentary.
Dior Shades and a Monochrome Look
The First Lady stepped out in DiorNuit S1I sunglasses, characterized by bold, cat-eye frames, wide temples, and a subtle gold logo. Priced at around $2,000, the sunglasses aren’t new to the Dior lineup but remain a staple of Melania’s carefully curated aesthetic.
She paired the eyewear with a sleek monochrome outfit:
- White fitted tee
- Slit white pencil skirt
- Sharp white Michael Kors blazer
- Hermès Kelly bag
- White Manolo Blahnik stilettos
- Navy blazer draped over her shoulders
The full ensemble projected a polished yet intentionally understated silhouette, consistent with Melania’s style during both public and private appearances.
A Familiar Style Signature
This isn’t the first time Melania Trump’s choice of sunglasses has drawn public interest. Her preference for large, face-obscuring eyewear in both casual and formal settings has long been noted — even fueling lighthearted online speculation about so-called “Fake Melania” rumors in past years.
At MetLife Stadium, however, there was no doubt. Seated alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Leena Al Ashqar, Melania was visible throughout the match in the presidential box, her white sunglasses unmistakable.
Notably, she wasn’t the only public figure sporting bold white frames that week. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was spotted wearing a similarly styled pair of oversized Vuarnet sunglasses at the Sun Valley tech summit.
Marking a Significant Anniversary
This year’s FIFA Club World Cup Final came almost exactly one year after the attempted assassination of President Trump at a campaign rally. While President Trump appeared on the field during trophy presentations, Melania maintained a quieter presence throughout the evening.
“It remains my firm conviction that God alone saved me that day for a righteous purpose,” President Trump said in a statement following the match.
Just days earlier, Melania had made a more subdued appearance during a visit to Texas, opting for a khaki anorak jacket, army-green pants, black Converse, and dark sunglasses.
