Melania Trump was heavily criticized for her attire and apparently cold demeanor at Jimmy Carter's funeral, but even her staunchest haters gave her a break.

The past and incoming first lady has a history of wearing outfits at public events that grab attention or even stir controversy.

Melania Trump dressed up for a solemn occasion on Jan. 9: the state funeral at Washington National Cathedral for President Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29, 2024. All living presidents attended the event on Thursday, which was declared a national day of mourning by President Joe Biden.
