Donald Trump, 72, and Melania Trump, 48, have issued their official Christmas portrait, sharing a festive photo taken at the White House. In the picture, the President of the United States and the First Lady hold hands as they pose side by side, surrounded by Christmas trees adorned with fairy lights and red decorations. Melania looks incredible in the photo, wearing a longline white high-neck dress and silver heels. Her white gown also featured a subtle sparkle and long sleeves which highlighted her toned figure.
The wintry number was by Celine – a brand much-loved by the 48-year-old.
The photo was taken during the Congressional Ball at the White House on 15 December, where Trump gave a speech to guests about his plans for the next two years.
Sharing the Christmas card on Instagram, the couple’s representative wrote alongside the photo: “Merry Christmas from President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.”
The caption continues: “@realdonaldtrump & @FLOTUS are seen Saturday, December 15, in their official 2018 Christmas portrait, in the Cross Hall of the White House in Washington, D.C. (Official White House Photo by Andrea Hanks).”
The couple both wore matching grins for the photo, with Trump looking smart in a tuxedo complete with a bow tie.
Standing amongst the Christmas trees in the Cross Hall, the President and First Lady made sure to show off the White House’s extravagant Christmas decorations.
Fans of the couple loved the picture, with one person replying on Melania’s Instagram post: “This photo is so beautiful. I can’t stop looking at it!”
“Absolutely angelic, Mrs. Trump,” gushed another, as a third wrote: “Merry Christmas and happy new year Mr president and first lady.”
Before the portrait was taken, Melania held hands with her husband of 13 years as she descended the grand staircase to greet the guests at the Christmas gathering.
Complementing her evening look, Melania wore dramatic party make-up comprised of dark grey and silver smokey eyeshadow and pink lipstick.
She wore her hair in a centre parting and loose around her shoulders.
The mother-of-one completed her ensemble with a pair of towering silver stilettos.
Melania and Donald both took to the stage to give a short speech in the Grand Foyer of the White House which was sumptuously decorated for the festive season.
Two large Christmas trees adorned with white lights and red baubles dominated the room and a sweeping garland with pretty lights and big red bows decorated the staircase.
The presidential couple were joined by Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen Pen at the Washington event which welcomed Republicans and Democrats to the White House.
The president’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were also at the Congressional Ball.
