Melania Trump and France's first lady Brigitte Macron put on a stylish display at the White House on Monday evening before heading to a private dinner at Mount Vernon.

Melania, 47, gave a nod to some of the biggest designers from her guest's home nation, wearing a $2,790 Givenchy tuxedo cape, Christian Louboutin heels, and a Christian Dior purse, which she paired with a Dolce & Gabbana dress.

Meanwhile Brigitte, 65, stuck with her favorite design house, donning a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble featuring a pale yellow coat worn over a matching dress. Like Melania, she also sported black patent leather stilettos.

Center of attention: Brigitte and Macron held hands as they stood between President Donald Trump and his wife

Brigitte and her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, received a warm greeting outside the West Wing of the White House, kicking off the first state visit since President Donald Trump took office.

Although Melania and Brigitte wore dramatically different outfits, their looks were actually quite complementary.

Brigitte's yellow coat featured a black ribbon tie and black buttons that matched Melania's all-black ensemble, which was cinched with a Ralph Lauren belt.

While the French first lady carried a Louis Vuitton cylinder-shaped evening bag with a top handle, the U.S. first lady opted for a sleek black Dior crocodiles-skin clutch.

The Macrons traveled to Washington, D.C. with a sapling European Sessile Oak that is approximately 4.5 feet tall and between 5-10 years old. The tree comes from Belleau Woods, a historic landmark tied to the United States' entry into World War I.

Over 9, 000 American marines died in the Belleau Wood battle in June 1918, and the forest has become a memorial site that symbolizes the sacrifices the U.S. made to ensure peace in Europe.

Together, the two couples planted the tree on the South Lawn of the White House before departing the White House on Marine One for a tour of historic monuments in Washington.

Possibly taking a cue from the Macrons, who were photographed holding hands upon their arrival, the Trump also had their hands clasped together while walking across the lawn.

The scenic helicopter ride ended at Mount Vernon, the home of America's first president, George Washington.

The couples are to have dinner the historic plantation house, and Melania will open the state floor for a press preview of the state dinner and décor after their meal.

The Macrons traveled to the United States to be guests at the Trumps' first state dinner of the administration.

On Tuesday morning, the President Trump and his wife will host the State Arrival Ceremony on the South Law of the White House.

According to the White House, nearly 500 members of the military from five branches will be on the South Lawn for a 'Review of the Troops' when the Macrons arrive.

Guests invited to attend the ceremony include Cabinet secretaries, members of Congress, military families, and students from the Maya Angelou French Immersion School in Temple Hills, Maryland.

While she may have had to share the style spotlight with Melania this evening, Brigitte was front and center as she and her husband arrived in Washington, D.C. earlier in the day.

French style: Brigitte donned a double-breasted pink coat by Louis Vuitton for her trip to Washington, D.C. on Monday

Epitome of chic: France's first lady wore the coat over a classic button-down shirt and skinny black pants featuring zippers at the ankles

Close as can be: Brigitte and her husband held hands while posing for photos together upon their arrival

France's first lady was wearing a double-breasted pink cashmere coat featuring black buttons by Louis Vuitton and skinny black pants when she and France's 40-year-old president landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

Brigitte wore her spring-inspired coat over a classic white button-down shirt featuring a mock-neck collar.

Her voluminous blonde hair was worn loose around her shoulders, and she held a structured $3,700 Louis Vuitton handbag in her right hand.

She topped off her chic ensemble with a pair of classic black patent leather pumps.

While she opted for eye-catching pink, her husband looked dapper in a navy suit and tie paired with black wingtip dress shoes.

Macron held his wife's hand as they walked off Cotam 001, the French Air Force One, and they continued to hold hands while they posed for pictures.

The French couple's public display of affection serves as a juxtaposition to Melania and Trump's awkward history with hand holding.

The first lady famously swatted her husband's hand away when he reached for hers upon their arrival in Israel last May.

In February, social media users were convinced that Melania refused her husband's hand yet again ahead of a trip to Ohio amid allegations that he had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels.

Touching moment: France's president and first lady were presented with purple flowers when they arrived at Joint Based Andrews

When disembarking Air Force One, Melania tends to hold on the railing as the president walks alongside her.

Brigitte, however, relied completely on her husband to help her keep her balance when they arrived in the U.S. on Monday.

She and Macron were presented with flowers when they arrived at Joint Based Andrews, and Brigitte kissed the girl — a student at a local bilingual English-French school — on the cheek.

After posing for numerous photos, Brigitte threw on a pair of sunglasses while watching her husband address the news media.

Following the grand ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House on Tuesday, Macron will have formal talks with the U.S. president, who has developed an unlikely friendship with the fellow political novice.

The Trumps spent two days in Paris last July and were the Macrons' guests of honor at the annual Bastille Day parade that celebrates France's independence.

In the City of Lights, Macron welcomed Trump with a military band as Les Invalides, a trip to a military museum and monument, and a five-star dinner inside the Eiffel Tower.

During the visit, Trump told Macron's wife, 'You're in such good shape,' and the trip ended with an effusive display of hugging, hand-yanking and back slapping.

Their long goodbye was reminiscent of an earlier hand shake, at their first face-to-face in Brussels in May, that was the very definition of a grip-and-grin.

Recalling the handshake in an interview with Fox News that aired on the network Sunday, Macron said it was actually 'a very friendly moment.'

'Seeing Prime Minister Abe and some of the different victims — I resisted,' he admitted. 'But in fact, I mean, it was — it was a very natural moment, I have to say. And a very friendly moment. Don’t worry.'

He said that he and Trump had developed a 'strong personal relation' based on their interactions, including the trip to Paris for Bastille Day.

'We have a very special relationship because both of us are probably the maverick of the systems on both sides. I think President Trump’s election was unexpected in your country and probably my election was unexpected in my country. And we are not part of the classical political system,' he said.

Macron also told Fox, 'I think we are very much in line on some very critical issues of this world — and especially counter terrorism and fight against ISIS.'

A senior U.S. official said Friday that this week's festivities in Washington are 'something of a celebration of the relationship.'

'I think it’s indicative of a desire to continue to forge a close relationship, a stronger relationship, a relationship that’s already very strong, I think — among the strongest that we have of any allies and partners in the world,' the official said.

However, the senior Trump administration official also predicted that there would be 'a full and free airing of points of view' on global issues during their talks this week, 'many of which we feel are pretty closely aligned France, and then a few which may not be as tightly aligned.'

'But more than anything, I think what the President would like to hear from President Macron is his counsel and his point of view and his perspective,' the official said.

Presidents Macron and Trump will hold bilateral talks on Tuesday morning and appear side-by-side at a joint news conference after. A state dinner is to follow that Politico says will have 150 guests.

Democrats and members of the media are getting the short shrift this year. Neither were invited to the meal that's taking place in the White House's State Dining Room, aside from Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards.

A scaled-down affair, Trump's first state dinner will not take place under the cover of tents set up on the South Lawn that were a hallmark of Barack Obama's dinners.

The parade of celebrities who came to those formal affairs is expected to be all but non-existent.

A guest list has not been released yet for Tuesday's dinner.

House Speaker Paul Ryan's office confirmed to DailyMail.com that he would be in attendance.

Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis are also planning to attend, Fox News reported.

The first lady's office has been overseeing the state dinner that comes much later in Trump's tenure than his predecessors'.

Barack Obama and George W. Bush held state dinners in November and September, respectively, the first year of their presidencies.

France is getting its turn earlier under Trump than it did under either previous American president, with the last two coming in 2007 and 2014.

Melania highlighted the work her office has done to make her husband's first state dinner a reality in a morning tweet that said: 'After months of preparations, @POTUS and I are looking forward to hosting our first State Dinner with France! Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to make this visit a success.'

The first lady's office said Monday that the menu for Tuesday's dinner would consist of: Goat Cheese Gateau, Tomato Jam, Buttermilk Biscuit Crumbles, Young Variegated Lettuces, Rack of Spring Lamb, Burnt Cipollini Soubise, Carolina Gold Rice Jambalaya, Nectarine Tart, and Crème Fraîche Ice Cream.

Tomorrow's meal is being prepared by White House Executive Chef Christeta Comerford.

China from both the Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush administrations will be used during the upscale meal.
