Melania Trump and her husband Donald Trump left the White House for the final time on Wednesday in Washington, DC, as the city prepared for the Inauguration of President-Elect Joe Biden.

The 50-year-old Slovene-American former model headed to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, in an outfit from Chanel’s Pre-Fall Métiers d’Art 2019/2020 runway, Christian Louboutin heels, and a crocodile Birkin bag from Hermès.

Neither she nor her husband wore masks. After attending Donald Trump’s rally-type exit speech, Melania boarded Marine One for Mar-a-Lago.

Trump is the first president in more than 150 years to refuse to attend his successor’s inauguration.

“You will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all, God bless your families and God bless this beautiful nation.”
