The first lady, 48, was seen departing for Pennsylvania on Tuesday in a custom Herve Pierre navy rain coat with white details, cinched at the waist with a belt, later adding a matching $11,000 Hermes Birkin bag, which she was seen carrying on her return to the White House.
Earlier on Tuesday, she posted a tweet in remembrance of the attacks, sharing a photo of herself with her husband at the White House above the caption: 'We remember 9.11.01.'

First lady: Melania Trump looked solemn in navy as she left with her husband to attend a tribute to victims of the 9/11 attacks on Tuesday
Accessory: The first lady was later seen carrying an $11,000 Hermes Birkin bag when she returned to the White House
Itinerary: The first lady, 48, was seen arriving in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday in a custom Herve Pierre navy rain coat with white details, cinched at the waist with a belt
Together: The pair put on a very affectionate display once they arrived in Pennsylvania, and were later pictured holding hands as they landed back in D.C.
Melania was photographed at Joint Base Andrews with her husband, 72, boarding Air Force One in pointed-toe stilettos that matched her rain coat.
She kept the rest of her look simple, going jewelry-free and wearing her hair down in a blowout.
Her husband, meanwhile, stuck to his classics in a black suit, white button-down shirt, and a striped blue tie.
The first lady and president arrived at the airport in Johnstown after a short flight from Washington, D.C., shortly after the time that hijackers flew airplanes into New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
They were seen greeting locals and supporters on the tarmac in Pennsylvania after stepping off Air Force One, before heading to Shanksville, where the president was due to deliver remarks at the Flight 93 memorial.
Shanksville is where the fourth airliner, California-bound Flight 93, crashed after its 40 passengers and crew members realized that the aircraft had been hijacked, and tried to storm the cockpit in order to regain control of the plane.
Everyone onboard was killed in the crash.

In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
The president, a New York native making his first visit as commander-in-chief to the Shanksville site, was planning to focus on honoring the many lives that were lost that day, according to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
'Certainly the focus will be on remembering that horrific day and remembering the lives that were lost, and certainly honoring the individuals who were not only lost that day, but also put their lives of the line to help in that process,' she said ahead of Trump's address.
During his speech, Trump told the crowd about the Flight 93 victims: 'America will never forget what your loved ones did for all of us.'
'They stopped the forces of terror and defeated this wicked, horrible, evil plan,' he said, while referring several time to 'radical Islamic terrorism' as 'the enemy'.
The president praised first responders as well as law enforcement officers and promised to do 'everything in my power to prevent terrorists from striking American soil'.
He called the hijackers 'evil men bent on terror and conquest' and pledged to 'never flinch in the face of evil'.

Trump observed the solemn anniversary for the first time as president last year.
He and the first lady led a moment of silence at the White House accompanied by aides and administration officials at the exact time that hijackers flew the first of two airplanes into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers.
At the time, the president took the opportunity to issue a stern warning to extremists that 'America cannot be intimidated'.
The president also participated in the Pentagon's September 11 observance last year. Vice President Mike Pence is representing the administration there on Tuesday.
This year's anniversary comes as a heated midterm election cycle kicks into high gear. But there have long been some efforts to separate the solemn anniversary from politics.

The group 9/11 Day, which promotes volunteering on an anniversary that was declared a national day of service in 2009, routinely asks candidates not to campaign or run political ads for the day. Organizers of the ground zero ceremony allow politicians to attend, but they've been barred since 2011 from reading names or delivering remarks.
Hours after the ceremony, two powerful light beams will soar into the night sky from lower Manhattan in the annual 'Tribute in Light.'
Memorials to 9/11 continue to grow at Shanksville, where the Tower of Voices will eventually include a wind chime for each of the 40 people killed there, and ground zero, where work is to begin soon on a pathway honoring rescue and recovery workers.
It will serve as a way to honor those who became sick or died from exposure to toxins released when the Trade Center's twin towers collapsed.
Researchers have documented elevated rates of respiratory ailments, post-traumatic stress disorder and other illnesses among people who spent time in the rubble.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
