Melania Trump modeled an orange leather pencil skirt as she and her husband President Donald Trump embarked on their first foreign trip as the first family.

The 47-year-old First Lady was smiling and holding her husband's hand as they were photographed walking across the White House's South Lawn towards Marine One for a short trip to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they boarded Air Force One.

The president's daughter Ivanka Trump is also taking part in the overseas trip, and while her stepmother donned and edgy Hervé Pierre skirt for their flight to Saudi Arabia, she opted for a ladylike floral dress.

Trump, Melania, Ivanka, and her husband Jared Kushner flew out on Friday for the first leg of their nine-day journey.

The president and his wife will be making stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel, Rome, Brussels, and Sicily during their first foreign tour of his presidency.

Ivanka, who has an unpaid position as the president's assistant, will be with her father and her stepmother for six of the nine days of the trip, traveling with them to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Italy.

The trip also includes an audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican.

For her flight, Melania paired her custom leather skirt with a Max Mara cream top and Manolo Blahnik heels, completing her look with her oversize engagement ring and Jackie O-inspired sunglasses.

Melania announced that she would be joining her husband on the trip on Wednesday.

'I am very excited for the upcoming trip,' Melania said in a press release. 'This will not just be an opportunity to support my husband as he works on important matters of national security and foreign relations, it will also be my honor to visit and speak with women and children from different countries, with different perspectives.'

Trump will be accompanied by his wife throughout each day, but the First Lady will also travel to participate in her own events including spousal programs at the NATO and G-7 summits.

She is also expected to deliver remarks to the United States military personnel and families in Italy.

The White House isn't releasing a comprehensive itinerary for Melania, citing security concerns.

A White House official revealed on Friday that Ivanka would also be traveling with the president to Saudi Arabia, Israel and Italy.

The official was not authorized to be quoted by name discussing the details of the plan in advance of the formal announcement and spoke on condition of anonymity.

According to the person, Ivanka will join her father for some events, but she is also expected to hold some of her own during the international tour.

In Saudi Arabia, Ivanka will take part in a roundtable discussion with Saudi women about women's economic issues.

The First Daughter wants to hear about the challenges women in the country face and the progress they have made, the official said.

In a press release on Thursday, the First Lady said she is 'very excited for the upcoming trip' where she will speak with women and children 'with different perspectives'

In Israel, Ivanka, who converted to Judaism when she married her husband Jared in 2009, will visit the Western Wall with the president.

And in Rome, she will take part in a discussion about human trafficking with the Community of Sant'Egidio, an aid group with ties to the Vatican. She will also take part in a meeting with the Pope.

The meetings build on some issues she has already worked on at the White House, as she has held meetings on both women's economic empowerment and human trafficking.

President Trump and his wife, who lives in New York, kicked off Mother's Day weekend last Friday, by celebrating military mothers at the White House.

She was all smiles as she watched the president address the crowd at the event, which was held on National Military Spouse Appreciation Day. The two were also joined by First Daughter Ivanka.

During the event, he praised Melania saying he had become 'so popular'.

The president paid tribute to his wife and the 'great moms' of America before choosing to spend Mother's Day morning playing golf at one of his clubs.

'Wishing @FLOTUS Melania and all of the great mothers out there a wonderful day ahead with family and friends!' tweeted Trump, who spent Sunday morning at the Trump National Golf Club, in Sterling, Virginia.

Melania had also tweeted a simple 'Happy Mother's Day'.
