Melania Trump made it very clear that she will be a fashion- forward First Lady, selecting a stunning baby blue dress and jacket for her husband Donald's inauguration ceremony.

The public got their first glance at Melania's perfectly-tailored look when she departed Blair House alongside her husband on their way to St. John’s Church on Friday morning, before she stood by his side as Trump took the oath of office.

Melania, 46, later shed her jacket for lunch before putting it back on for the parade, beaming even as she walked for miles in her matching 5-inch heels.

The new First Lady also accessorized her outfit with a clutch and elbow-length gloves that were all the same hue of blue.

Melania kept everything else simple, choosing to play up her natural beauty by sweeping her hair into a loose undo and wearing no jewelry other than a pair of massive diamond solitaire studs.

Her decision to wear a pale color and the silhouette she chose made it immediately clear that Melania was channeling Jacqueline Kennedy, who wore a similar tan outfit back in 1961 when John F. Kennedy was sworn into office.

And for the big day, Melania turned to one of Hillary Clinton's favorite designers - Ralph Lauren.

Melania's double-faced cashmere creation consists of a mock-turtleneck dress, over which she wore a short jacket with three-quarter length sleeves that featured a bold collar that clasped at the neck with a cutaway.

The outfit held well together throughout the day's festivities, which began with a coffee and tea ceremony with the Obamas at the White House.

Melania then headed to the Capitol to watch her husband be sworn in as the President of the United States.

After they said their goodbyes to Obama and Michelle, the Trumps made their way to the President's Room in the Senate.

It was there Trump signed his cabinet into law and gave Melania a quick kiss on the cheek.

The two then toasted one another as they had a brief moment of rest at a luncheon before the inaugural parade kicked off.

Melania looked regal as she stood beside Trump, her windswept undo still intact as they walked through the streets of Washington DC toward the White House.

Although 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will be her official residence as First Lady, Melania has already revealed she will be staying in New York with Barron.

The news that Melania had chosen a look from Ralph Lauren was revealed shortly after she was first seen in the outfit on Friday.

'With the historic swearing-in of her husband, Donald J. Trump, as the 45th President of the United States, the First Lady -elect will become America’s new First Lady wearing an American designer who transformed American fashion,' said Melania's spokesperson in a statement.

The suede gloves Melania wore were also Ralph Lauren Collection.

Melania previously wore Ralph Lauren on election night, choosing one of the designer's pantsuits for her husband's victory celebration in New York City.

The shade of blue was remarkably similar to Tiffany blue it was later revealed as Melania presented a gift from the jeweler to Michelle Obama when her and Donald met the outgoing president and his wife at the White House.

That gesture came as Tiffany and other retailers near Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue have complained that the increased security required for the new first family is negatively impacting their sales.

There were multiple designers who said that they would not dress Melania once her husband became president.

Initially, most fashion houses did their best to not comment on the matter, with French designer Sophie Theallet the first to publicly state Melania would not be offered any of her wears.

'As an independent fashion brand, we consider our voice an expression of our artistic and philosophical ideas,' the company said in a letter back in November.

'The Sophie Theallet brand stands against all discrimination and prejudice.'

Soon after, Tom Ford found himself embroiled in the controversy due to comments he made on The View.

'We've got a new first lady, Melania Trump, and she's quite beautiful, and she's thin, she's gonna look great in [your] clothes, no?' host Joy Behar asked Ford at the top of the interview, clearly hoping to learn if Ford would consider working with the former model or had a strict ban.

A hesitant looking Ford paused for a moment before responding to the question, saying: 'I don't know. I was asked to dress her quite a few years ago and I declined.'

He then explained his reason for passing on the offer by stating: 'Well, she's not necessarily my image.'

Ford, 55, then told Behar and the other hosts that he would also not be dressing Melania while she was in the White House, saying his clothes are 'too expensive' for a first lady to wear because they have to 'relate to everybody.'

Ford's designer wears were not 'too expensive' for Michelle Obama though, who Ford outfitted in a custom-made ivory evening gown back in 2011 for a dinner with the royal family at Buckingham Palace. Ford even threw in a pair of gloves to round out the look.

In the wake of Ford's comments, Trump said that his good friend Steve Wynn had stopped carrying Tom Ford products at his Las Vegas resort.

Trump told Ainsley Earhardt on Fox & Friends that Melania never asked Tom Ford to dress her.

'Never asked Tom Ford, doesn't like Tom Ford, doesn't like his designs,' said Trump.

Big day: There has been much speculation since Trump was elected back in November regarding what designer Melania would wear to the inauguration

Strutting her stuff: Melania also chose Ralph Lauren on election night, wearing one of his pantsuits when her husband was elected president

Trump then went on to say: 'Tom Ford is an example. "I will not dress the First Lady." He was never asked to dress - and Steve Wynn just called me and he said he thought it was so terrible what Tom Ford said, that he threw his clothing out of his Las Vegas hotel.

That was later confirmed by a spokesperson for Wynn Las Vegas, who told DailyMail.com in statement: 'Wynn Las Vegas confirms it removed the Tom Ford line of cosmetics and sunglasses from the resort this past weekend.'
