Melania Trump chose a crisp white Thom Browne shirtdress to attend the White House’s Independence Day picnic on Friday. The first lady joined U.S. President Donald Trump in hosting the annual event on the South Lawn, welcoming military families for a celebration marking America’s 249th birthday.

During the Fourth of July week, First Lady Melania Trump opted for simpler fashion trends like an all-white shirt dress and polka dots.

But it’s the Fourth of July weekend, and the Trumps must celebrate maximally.
