10 Times Melania Trump Showed Off Her Killer Legs

When it comes to White House fashion, regardless of your political standpoint, one thing can't be denied — Melania Trump is one of the most stylish first ladies. Throughout the two terms of her husband Donald Trump's presidency, the first lady has given us a plethora of fun fashion moments. Melania Trump has mastered the pantsuit with several gorgeous looks, and bold, wide-brimmed hats continue stealing the spotlight for her.

While the Slovenian-born former model clearly loves fashion, we also can't deny that Melania Trump's looks sometimes feel completely out of place. After all, White House fashion is generally known for being sophisticated and conservative, and Melania tries to fit the mold — but her love for edgier pieces still creeps through. Over the years, Melania became known for showing off her gorgeous long legs, and while becoming the first lady has somewhat changed that, Melania still finds acceptable ways to show off her favorite asset.

In 2003, Donald Trump and his then-girlfriend Melania Knauss attended the MTV Video Music Awards. While most of us had no idea who Melania was at the time, her outfit definitely made us do a double-take. The Slovenian rocked a modern version of a flapper dress in peach, but it was her legs that stole the show. The hemline hit well above her knees, showing off just why Melania used to be a model.

In 2009, Melania Trump attended the premiere of "Nine" in New York City alongside her husband Donald Trump. Ready to take the spotlight, Melania showed up in a bedazzled black minidress that remains one of the shortest pieces she has ever worn in public. Of course, as a true fashionista, Melania knew the short hemline needed to be balanced with long sleeves, which is why this bold look totally worked for her.

When Melania Trump showed up at the premiere of "Sex And The City 2" in 2010, it's safe to say that our jaws were on the floor. And while color analysis is way more complex than viral videos make it seem, it's safe to say that emerald green is a shade that suits the first lady perfectly. While the hemline of the dress was a tad more modest in comparison to some other premiere looks, it still effortlessly showed off Melania's legs.

In 2016, Melania Trump attended the Time 100 Gala alongside her husband Donald Trump, who was the Republican candidate for president at the time. Hoping to become the first lady, Melania knew better than to go for her usual minidress. Instead, she showed off her stunning long legs thanks to a thigh-high slit in her white floor-length dress.

Prior to becoming first lady, Melania Trump attended numerous film premieres. One of them was the 2012 premiere of "Men in Black 3," and for the occasion, Melania decided to go for black lace. Her dress was intricate and trendy, and the hemline allowed her legs to take the spotlight. The delicate black heels with gold detailing helped enhance the look even more, proving the former model has always had a keen eye for fashion. 

In 2009, Melania Trump attended the premiere of the Anna Wintour documentary "The September Issue." For the occasion, Melania undeniably tried to look her best, especially considering the fashion industry's eyes would be eagerly watching this event. Unfortunately, the A-line babydoll dress hasn't aged too well. At the time, this may have been trendy, but today a look like this (especially with the chunky black waistband) wouldn't pass. But hey, at least the dress once again showed off her endlessly long legs.

In 2018, Melania Trump attended the NATO Summit in Brussels, Belgium, alongside her husband President Donald Trump. For the occasion, the first lady decided that a midi white dress with delicate embroidery and a sheer base would be a great choice — and we couldn't agree more. In true model fashion, Melania managed to show off some leg thanks to the semi-sheerness of the skirt, all while still looking perfectly put together and sophisticated.

In 2007, Melania Trump and her husband attended the Met Gala, also known as fashion's biggest night. Of course, fashion lovers know that the event was nowhere as glamorous and prestigious back then as it is today, which certainly explains Melania's outfit choice. She went with yet another sparkly flapper dress, which showed plenty of leg and very little fashion prowess.

Melania Trump hosted a Philadelphia Style Magazine cover event in 2011 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As the cover star of the issue, Melania ensured she looked her best for the event, and a classic white A-line dress that hit just above her knees was a great choice.

In 2015, Melania Trump showed up to the finale of her husband Donald Trump's reality show "The Celebrity Apprentice" in a preppy maroon dress that hit right above her knees. While belts over dresses have gone out of style since, we have to admit that the thin red one perfectly accessorized this look, and as always, Melania's legs instantly turned heads.
