Incoming first lady Melania Trump wore a sparkly Reem Acra gold gown at a candlelight dinner to thank donors in Washington, D.C., Thursday night.
Melania Trump chose a powder blue dress and matching coat from
designer Ralph Lauren for the day’s events. The incoming first lady
paired the structured jacket with pointed stilettos and leather gloves
to complete the monochromatic look.
With her long locks pulled back in a sophisticated bun, Mrs.
Trump’s look is reminscent of what Jacqueline Kennedy wore for her
husband’s inauguration in 1961.
The suspense surrounding what the incoming first lady would wear
for the events of Inauguration Day built over the last several months
as several designers spoke out saying they wouldn’t be willing to dress
Mrs. Trump.
The first daughters both chose white for the swearing in
ceremony. Ivanka Trump chose an asymmetrical Oscar de la Renta white
jacket and tailored white pants with black pumps. She accessorized the
outfit with a small a American flag pin and black leather gloves. It was
her third ensemble from the designer in the past two days.
Tiffany Trump chose a double breasted white coat that hit just
below the knees and paired the look with cream leather gloves and a
bejeweled neckline.
Showing a bipartisan spirit, Ralph Lauren also dressed Hillary
Clinton for the Inauguration Day events. The former first lady wore a
Ralph Lauren Collection jewel neck suit paired with a cashmere cream
coat.
Prior to the inauguration, Trump wore a black military-inspired
coat from New York-based designer Norisol Ferrari for Thursday’s events.
Ferrari told Women’s Wear Daily, “I wanted to give her her own voice. Empowering women is all that matters to me.”
Later Thursday evening, she chose an iridescent gold gown from Lebanese-born New York designer Reem Acra.
President Trump’s daughter Ivanka is also known for her elegant
style and even launched her own fashion line. Just last week, the first
daughter announced on Facebook
that she would be taking a leave of absence from both the Trump
Organization and her clothing label during her father’s time in office.
Ivanka stood out at the events on Thursday in a striking green Oscar de la Renta dress and matching coat.
The businesswoman chose another Oscar de la Renta design for the
evening’s festivities. The long white gown was accented by a large
black bow at the back.
