First Lady Melania Trump made a rare appearance at a sporting event with her husband, President Donald J. Trump, in New Jersey on Sunday.
The President of the United States and the First Lady attended the FIFA Men’s World Cup Final at New York New Jersey Stadium (a.k.a. Metlife Stadium) between Argentina and Spain on Sunday afternoon.
Melania Trump, 56, rocked a special outfit for the occasion. Melania Trump chose to wear white pants and a white shirt, with a tan jacket featuring some red, white and blue U.S.A colors. It doesn’t look like Melania Trump, who is from Europe, is picking a side between Argentina and Spain.
She sent a clear neutral message with her outfit.

FIFA confirms President Trump will help present trophy
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said last month on “Fox & Friends” that he and President Trump will deliver the trophy to the winning team’s captain on the field of Metlife Stadium on Sunday night.
The White House confirmed his presence leading into Sunday, too.
“His attendance will cap what has been the most-watched, most secure and most successful World Cup in American history,” White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said before kickoff on Sunday.
The World Cup in North America has been a great success, with fans – from all over the world – raving about their experiences in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
President Trump has made it clear how proud he is of the efforts throughout the World Cup.
