First Lady Melania Trump arrived with President Donald Trump at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in Manhattan on September 22, 2026. She wore a black Dolce and Gabbana single-breasted suit, a white blouse, and Christian Louboutin pumps. The jacket closely matched the tuxedo she used for her official black-and-white First Lady portrait.

She later hosted spouses of world leaders at the St. Regis Hotel to advance her Fostering the Future Together initiative, which seeks to expand children’s access to education technology and to promote online safety.
