The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member took to Instagram on August 27 to share that as part of a fun date night with her husband, she was going to the U.S. Open for the first time.

Melissa attended a day of the tennis tournament with Joe as well as her RHONJ castmate Margaret Josephs and her husband, Joe Benigno

"My first U.S. Open," Melissa said in an Instagram Story from the Queens-based event. The mom of three wore a black and white polka dot dress and coordinated white sunglasses to the U.S. Open, while she dressed her spouse in a pair of gray slacks and a white short-sleeved sweater polo. To complete Joe's look, Melissa had him tie a black cardigan and throw it over his shoulders. 

"The definition of Cutesy," she captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of the two before the event. 

At one tennis match, Melissa further showed off her husband's look in a video she shared on her Instagram Stories. 

"My man looks like old money tonight. It's cutesy," she said while panning to Joe's outfit. "It's very cutesy."

"This outfit," Joe responded before grimacing. "She dressed me."
