First Lady Melania Trump was front-and-center today.
‘TIS THE SEASON: Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s and Bergdorf Goodman aren’t the only institutions that have gotten a jump on the holidays. First Lady Melania Trump was front-and-center today for the arrival of the White House’s official Christmas tree.
As has been customary since 1966, the National Christmas Tree Association held a contest and this year’s winner from Pennsylvania’s Mahantongo Valley Farms arrived via a horse-drawn carriage. While the U.S. Marines band played, the Clydesdales “Cash” and “Ben” towed what will be the White House’s main decorative attraction in the Blue Room, according a to a pool report.
After greeting the carriage driver and posing for photos with Mahantongo Valley Farms’ Larry Snyder and his kin, Trump was asked by a shouting reporter, “What’s your favorite part of Christmas?” and replied, “Merry Christmas, everyone,” according to the pool report. The First Lady has been somewhat of a loyalist to Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for key photo-ops. In June, she wore a white crepe custom Dolce & Gabbana dress with a navy border and a coordinating hat designed by her stylist Hervé Pierre for a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II in London. She also sported a suit from Dolce & Gabbana for her official White House portrait and a black buttoned-up coat from the Italian label with a black veil to meet Pope Francis two years ago.
The Trumps may now call Florida home , but their second city of New York is moving full steam ahead with holiday preparations. After helping Bloomingdale’s unveil its flagship windows Friday night, Grammy-winner John Legend will be at it again at Rockefeller Center’s 87th annual tree lighting on Dec. 4. Legend will get some help from Ne-Yo, Idina Menzel and Gwen Stefani among other notables for NBC’s televised event. Shoppers en route to Coach, J.
