Melania Trump captured everyone’s attention as she arrived in a breathtaking strapless gown alongside her husband, President Donald Trump, at the inauguration ball on Monday night. The event was hosted at the Washington Convention Center, wrapping up a significant day for the 78-year-old leader, who was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, with his elegant wife, 54, by his side.

A Stunning Choice for the Festive Evening
Melania radiated elegance in her floor-length white dress, designed with a bold thigh-high slit and a striking black fabric accent that highlighted her graceful figure. She accessorized with white heels and a chic black choker with a shiny silver pendant, blending modern and classic styles. Her blonde hair cascaded in soft waves, perfectly framing her face and accentuating her dramatic makeup for this special evening.
A memorable moment from the ball featured Donald and Melania Trump sharing their first dance as President and First Lady, an event that was buzzing on social media. A picture immortalizing their dance was shared, highlighting the joy and excitement of the occasion.
The President wore a traditional black tuxedo, looking proud as they entered hand in hand. The couple shared a joyful entrance and, on stage, delighted the guests with a tender dance.

The Secret Conversation on the Dance Floor
As they danced, the couple was observed exchanging private words, adding to the romance of the evening. Jeremy Freeman, a skilled forensic lip reader associated with the Deafness Cognition and Language Research Centre at University College London, shared insights into their whispered dialogue.
Freeman interpreted Melania’s supportive words as she embraced Donald, saying, “Today is one we will never forget.” Donald’s reply, according to Freeman, was, “You’re right, I’ll learn, I’ll fight.” This supportive exchange continued with Melania assuring, “I got you.”
Freeman also noted a shift in their tone when Donald allegedly asked, “We’ll see. Will you control it? Less tricky, less pushing away?” to which Melania replied candidly, “It’s a no,” and Donald acknowledged this with a nod, signaling his understanding.

Chic Simplicity at the Inauguration Ceremony
Earlier in the day for the inauguration ceremony, Melania opted for a simple yet fashionable appearance. Her attire featured a tailored navy-blue coat designed by American maestro Adam Lippes. Although the coat’s exact price isn’t publicly known, similar styles by Lippes are priced around $4,290.
Beneath the coat, she wore a sleek white wrap top, providing a neat contrast to the dark ensemble.
Her inauguration look’s showstopper was a striking wide-brimmed navy hat with white trim, crafted by designer Eric Javits. This hat, reminiscent of the one last worn by Hillary Clinton in 1993 on a similar occasion, added dramatic flair and partially veiled her eyes.
Melania polished off her outfit with $825 Manolo Blahnik BB navy suede pumps featuring a four-inch heel and a classic pointed-toe design.
Amid her impeccable appearance, Melania dealt with a relatable issue during the day—sore feet. This was humorously noted by President Trump during his speech post-oath.
In his national address, he applauded Melania’s resilience, jesting that her feet were “absolutely aching” following a day in high heels.
He added, smiling, “I shouldn’t be admitting this; I might get in trouble for it, but her feet really hurt. You know, those heels.” This playful comment revealed the warmth of their relationship, adding a personal touch to a day filled with ceremony and grandeur.
