Melania Trump mesmerized in an elegant strapless gown as she arrived at the inauguration ball hand-in-hand with her husband, Donald Trump.
The new President, 78, and First Lady, 54, were spotted walking into the star-studded event together on Monday at the Washington Convention Center to celebrate his new role.
Mother-of-one Melania ensured all eyes were on her during the party, as she donned a long, flowing white dress with a thigh-high slit and a daring black piece of fabric that wrapped around her body.
The strapless number showcased her stunning figure and left her long legs on full display.
She accessorized with a black choker that included an eye-popping silver pendant and white pumps.
Melania kept her long blonde locks in loose waves around her face and wore striking makeup for the evening out.
Donald, for his part, opted for a simple black tuxedo.
The two looked as happy as they could be as they entered the event holding hands; after taking to the stage, they enjoyed a romantic dance together.
At the inauguration hours earlier, the First Lady kept it much simpler in a tailored navy-blue coat by American designer Adam Lippes.
While the exact price of the jacket is not known, a similar one is listed on Adam’s website for $4,290.
Underneath, she donned for a white wrap top, adding a pop to the otherwise classic outfit.
However, the real star of the show was her large navy wide-brimmed hat with a flat top and white trimming, designed by Eric Javits.
Not since Hilary Clinton, in 1993, has a First Lady opted for an inauguration-day hat, adding not only a touch of the theatrical to Melania’s ensemble but almost entirely obscuring her eyes.
On her feet, she wore a pair of $825 navy blue Manolo Blahnik BB suede pumps, which came with a four-inch heel, leather upper, lining and sole, and a pointed toe.
Melania had a very relatable problem at her husband’s inauguration: her feet were killing her.
Donald hilariously exposed her discomfort to the world during his speech just after he got sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.
While addressing the crowd, the new President praised his wife-of-nearly-20-years for ‘being incredible’ throughout his big day day, despite the fact that her feet were ‘absolutely aching.’
He added that she was going to give him ‘hell’ for sharing her feet problems to the entire nation.
‘I have a first lady who has been incredible,’ gushed Donald.
‘I shouldn’t say this. I’m going to get hell when I say this, but her feet are absolutely aching. You know, those heels.’
