U.S. First Lady Melania Trump brought back a familiar shoe silhouette on Sunday, attending the final match of the FIFA Club World Cup at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., in a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s BB 105 pumps. The first lady has worn variations of the shoe for years, and the white leather version she chose this weekend proved consistent with her longstanding preference for sharp lines, clean palettes and designs that speak quietly but decisively — often without the need for much elaboration.

The BB 105 pump is a fixture in Manolo Blahnik’s lineup, favored for its sharply pointed toe and narrow 4-inch heel — a shape that’s all precision and control. Trump’s pair, crafted in white leather with a clean finish and closed-back construction, echoed past choices that rarely deviate from the formula. Even when the context changes, the aesthetic remains exactly as expected — crisp, careful and entirely within bounds. The shoes were visible in full view as she sat cross-legged in the VIP box alongside her husband and FIFA president Gianni Infantino, where she kept a steady smile throughout the match.

She paired the pumps with a structured pencil skirt and a matching knit top from the Michael Kors Collection, layered under a black Georgina Pebble Crepe Blazer worn draped over her shoulders. Accessories included Dior’s Diornuit oversized rectangle sunglasses and a Blanc Clemence Hermès Kelly bag with palladium hardware.
It’s not the first time Trump has reached for the BB 105 this year. Earlier this month, she wore the same style in a red-and-white snakeskin variation during the White House Independence Day celebration. Prior to that, she opted for metallic Louboutins at the Kennedy Center in June and navy satin stilettos during January’s inaugural events, rounding out a year of reliably elevated heel moments.
The First Lady was among the high-profile guests at MetLife Stadium on Sunday for the final match of the FIFA Club World Cup, marking the first time the tournament has been hosted in the United States. The event — held one year ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the U.S., Mexico and Canada — saw Chelsea FC face off against Paris Saint-Germain.
