‘Best dressed First Lady’: Melania Trump turns heads in an ‘elegant’ dress at the inaugural ball

As she accompanied her husband to the Liberty Inaugural Ball held in Washington, D.C., best dressed First Lady Melania Trump had all eyes on her.

She wore a stunning white floor-length dress with asymmetrical black accents running diagonally across the body designed by her trusted stylist Herve Pierre.

Melania and Pierre share a long history of trusted collaboration.

He designed the iconic white, off-the-shoulder gown with a thigh-high slit and red ribbon at the waist that she wore to her husband’s 2017 inauguration. Pierre dressed the First Lady for a state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron in 2018, as well as for the United Nations General Assembly.

Melania wore Pierre’s designs for foreign trips, holidays, and other public appearances.

This time, he shared the sketch of the dress for the inaugural ball with the caption: “It was such an honor to create the dress for the First Lady Melania Trump tonight.. I can’t thank her enough… it was a wonderful project, a great collaboration… as always !!!! A big thank to @atelieryqs for helping me on that project … your work is 👌🏻impeccable 🙏🏻 [sic].”

Pierre also released a statement, thanking the Slovenian-born model for their collaboration for this significant event. “It is a big honor to have collaborated with the First Lady on the design for her inaugural dress.” He added, “It was clear that Mrs. Trump was gravitating towards a combination of black and white – true to her own style and vision.”

The public seemed to be enchanted with her looks that made heads turn around.

Many agreed that she’s best dressed First Lady.

“Breathtaking!! 👏👏,” one person wrote, while another exclaimed“Wow. Beautiful.”

“Beautiful and elegant, classic First Lady! Power couple 🇺🇸 🙌,” a third wrote.

Another admirer stated“Oh wow😍 Best dressed First Lady 🇺🇸.” Someone else added: “Stunning! Class & Elegance are back in the White House 🥳🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻.”

For her husband’s inauguration, Melania opted for a custom double-breasted navy coat by Adam Lippes that she paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, designed especially for the occasion.

While some praised her looks, others were asking themselves why she was hiding her eyes with the hat.

“The [sic] hat of Melania is very weird… like she wants to hide her eyes from something… or her forehead,” someone commented. “Melania’s hat looks ridiculous. That’s all I can think of,” another remarked.

No matter what one thinks of our First Lady, one thing is certain, her fashion statements are bold and she’s always dressed for the occasion.
