Melania Trump went for an all-white look as she and Donald Trump left the nation’s capital for the weekend on Friday.
The first lady, 48, and her husband, 72, departed Washington, D.C. in the afternoon in order to head to Bedminster, New Jersey; the Trumps have spent several weekends at the president’s golf club in Bedminster this summer, and the property also served as his summer retreat last year.
Melania was photographed preparing to board Marine One to stop by Andrews Air Force in Maryland, in a white button-down shirt tucked into her matching slim pants.

The former model rolled up the sleeves of her shirt and left her top buttons open for a relaxed look.
She added a pop of color to her outfit thanks to a pair of bright yellow, pointed stilettos.
The shoes matched the color of the large, white Burberry handbag she carried in her left hand on her way to board the presidential helicopter.
Her purse, which retails for $2,590, is made of calf leather and was manufactured in Italy. It features Burberry’s name in embossed letter on the front.
Melania flashed a bright smile as she and her husband headed out for their weekend retreat. Her hair was down in a glossy blowout and she shielded her eyes behind a pair of mirrored sunglasses.
Her husband, meanwhile, went for his classic combination of a black suit with a white button-down shirt and red tie.

Their weekend trip comes just two days after it emerged Melania and her husband reportedly had a disagreement over the first lady’s choice of in-flight entertainment.
Her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham responded on Wednesday to a New York Times report that President Trump was unhappy that his wife’s television aboard Air Force One was tuned to CNN — and not Fox News Channel — during their recent trip to Europe.
The Times said Trump raged at his staff for breaking a rule that each trip begin tuned to Fox. Trump is an avid Fox viewer who regularly disparages CNN as ‘fake news’.
While Grisham said it seemed ‘silly’ to wonder which TV channels the first lady chooses to get her news coverage, she made a point of clarifying that Melania watches what she wants, regardless of her husband’s opinion.
‘Seems kind of silly to worry about what channel she watches on TV (any channel she wants btw) or if she heard some recording on the news,’ Grisham said, using an abbreviation for ‘by the way.’

A day after accompanying Melania to a Tennessee children’s hospital that treats babies born with a dependency on drugs, also known as neonatal abstinence syndrome, Grisham suggested that reporters focus on that and other issues she deemed more important than the first lady’s television viewing habits or ‘some recording on the news.’
‘Did you know that every 15 minutes a baby is born with NAS?’ she said.
‘Maybe you’d like to talk about the 160,000 kids who skip school every day for fear of being bullied, or that 280,000 students are physically attacked in schools every month.’
Both are issues the first lady is working to highlight.
Melania’s spokeswoman also tried to bat away questions about the broadcast of a brief audio recording of Trump and his longtime personal lawyer discussing plans to pay for a former Playboy model’s story of an alleged 2006 affair with Trump.
Trump has denied the affair.
