On her feet, the former model wore her go-to stilettos. She chose black power pumps with a pointed toe and low-cut topline, a feature designed to elongate the legs.

“Spreading holiday cheer in London this morning at the Salvation Army Clapton Center. It was great meeting with local children to wrap gifts and make wreaths, which will be donated to those in need. #BeBest,” Trump captioned an Instagram post from the organization.
The first lady and President Donald Trump attended a Buckingham Palace reception Tuesday for NATO leaders and their spouses, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.

At the reception, Trump wore a yellow Valentino cape over a violet long-sleeved dress, a perfect match for her pointed-toe Christian Louboutin pumps.
