Melania Trump Wows at the Inaugural Ball in a Stunning Dress – See the Gorgeous Look
First Lady Melania Trump wore a beautiful dress designed by her stylist for the inaugural ball, and people online loved it.
On January 20, 2025, Melania Trump looked stunning in a black-and-white dress as she joined her husband, US President Donald Trump, at the Liberty Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C.
The white gown was eye-catching because of its unique black design that went from the bottom to the top. Many people shared their admiration for her look. One person commented, “Breathtaking!! 👏👏,” and another said, “Wow. Beautiful.”
Others shared similar thoughts, with one person writing, “Beautiful and elegant, classic First Lady! Power couple 🇺🇸 🙌.” Another admirer said, “Oh wow😍 Best dressed First Lady 🇺🇸.” Someone else commented, “Stunning! Class & Elegance are back in the White House 🥳🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻.”
The praise kept coming, with an Instagram user saying, “Beautiful Melania gorgeous dress ❤️.” Another person reacted, “This is style🔥.” A Facebook user added, “She is stunning! Most beautiful First Lady hands down!”
The dress was designed by Hervé Pierre, who shared a signed sketch of it. He posted, “It was such an honor to create the dress for First Lady Melania Trump tonight. I can’t thank her enough… it was a wonderful project, a great collaboration… as always!!!!”
Pierre, a French-born designer, also said, “It is a big honor to have collaborated with the First Lady on the design for her inaugural dress. It was clear that Mrs. Trump was gravitating towards a combination of black and white – true to her own style and vision.”
At the inaugural ball, Melania and Donald also shared their first dance in front of everyone.
This isn’t the first time Melania’s fashion choices have gotten a lot of attention. During Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the US, Melania’s outfit stood out. She wore a black-and-white outfit designed by Adam Lippes, which included a dark navy double-breasted coat.
She matched it with black gloves, heels, and a wide-brimmed hat with an ivory ribbon. Some people really liked her look, while others didn’t. One comment said, “Funeral attire.”
Another person agreed, saying, “Definitely looks like she’s going to a funeral,” and someone else added, “Dressed for a funeral? Well played!” One comment even said, “Looks like Melania is in a state of mourning.”
Some people focused on her hat, with one person wondering, “Isn’t it impolite to wear a hat indoors?”
The comments continued with some saying her hat looked odd. One person said, “The hat is very weird… like she wants to hide her eyes from something.” Another person said, “Melania’s hat looks ridiculous. That’s all I can think of.”
Some people even compared her to a well-known movie character, saying, “Melania looks like Jim Carrey in ‘The Mask!’ What is going on, girl?” Another person said, “Melania was dressed Inappropriately. Love her Christmas show at the White House. The hat and dress were austere and inappropriate.”
However, not everyone disliked her outfit. One person said, “Melania looks incredible!!” Another wrote, “Melania!!! Fabulous 🔥 that hat is everything.” Someone else commented, “Melania looks so elegant.”
Surprisingly, reports say Melania’s hat almost didn’t make it to the inauguration. The hat was designed by Eric Javits and was a custom piece requested by Hervé, Melania’s stylist. The hat was based on one of Hervé’s summer boater hats.
A problem occurred when the package containing the hat arrived wet and crushed. Eric had to make a new one in just four days. Thanks to Hervé, the replacement hat arrived on time, after he personally delivered it from Miami to Melania at Mar-a-Lago before the inauguration.
