Melania Trump looked chic in an understated, head-to-toe navy blue look as she stood by husband Donald Trump's side as they arrived to St. John's Episcopal Church just hours before he is set to be sworn in as the 47th President of The United States. The incoming First Lady, 54, opted for a long, tailored navy blue coat along with a pair of navy blue suede heels and black leather gloves for the non-partisan service.

Underneath the coat, she wore a white wrap top, adding a pop to the otherwise classic outfit. However, the real star of the show was a large navy wide-brimmed hat with a flat top and white trimming around the top. The hat tied together her entire look, as she sported an elegant bun and tiny diamond studs.
