Video: Melania Trump stuns and mesmerizes in elegant outfit at husband’s inauguration ball
|Melania Trump turned heads in a stunning strapless gown as she arrived with her husband, President Donald Trump, at the inauguration ball held at the Washington Convention Center on Monday evening.
The event marked the conclusion of a historic day for the 78-year-old President, who was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, accompanied by the elegant First Lady, 54.
A Dazzling Look for the Ball
The First Lady dazzled in a long, flowing white gown that featured a dramatic thigh-high slit and a striking black fabric detail that wrapped around her silhouette, emphasizing her sophisticated figure.
She paired the dress with white pumps and a black choker adorned with a sparkling silver pendant, adding a modern yet classic touch to her look. Her signature blonde waves framed her face perfectly, complementing her bold makeup for the evening.
President Trump opted for a traditional black tuxedo, and the couple looked radiant as they arrived hand-in-hand. The pair shared a moment of joy during their entrance, and once on stage, they delighted attendees by enjoying a romantic dance together.
What did they say to each other according to a lip reader
Their dance captivated onlookers, not only for its significance but also for the First Lady’s stunning structural gown. As the couple swayed on the dance floor, they were seen exchanging intimate words, which have since been analyzed by a certified lip-reading expert.
Jeremy Freeman, an Expert Witness Forensic Lip Reader accredited by the Deafness Cognition and Language Research Centre at University College London, offered his insights into their conversation.
According to him, at one point during the dance, Melania placed her hand on Donald’s back, drawing closer as she said, “Today is one we will never forget.”
Donald’s response, according to the analysis, was, “You’re right, I’ll learn, I’ll fight.” The exchange continued with Melania offering reassurance, stating, “I got you.”
Freeman noted that the tone of the conversation shifted slightly when Donald reportedly asked, “We’ll see. Will you control it? Less tricky, less pushing away?” Melania’s candid reply was, “It’s a no,” to which Donald acknowledged her response with a nod, signaling that he understood her stance.
Understated Elegance at the Inauguration
Earlier in the day, Melania embraced a more understated yet chic look at the inauguration ceremony. She wore a tailored navy-blue coat designed by American fashion icon Adam Lippes. While the coat’s exact price is undisclosed, a similar design on Lippes’ website is valued at $4,290.
Beneath the coat, she donned a crisp white wrap top, adding a subtle pop of contrast to the ensemble.
The highlight of her inauguration outfit was a dramatic wide-brimmed navy hat with white trim, crafted by renowned designer Eric Javits. This bold accessory, reminiscent of 1993 when Hillary Clinton last wore a hat on inauguration day, added theatrical flair and partially obscured her eyes.
Melania completed the look with $825 Manolo Blahnik BB navy suede pumps featuring a four-inch heel and a classic pointed toe.
Despite her flawless appearance, Melania faced a relatable challenge during the day: sore feet. President Trump humorously revealed her discomfort during his speech shortly after taking the oath of office.
While addressing the nation, he praised Melania for her unwavering support, jokingly adding that her feet were “absolutely aching” after a long day in heels.
“I shouldn’t say this,” he quipped, “I’m going to get hell for it, but her feet are killing her. You know, those heels.” This lighthearted remark offered a glimpse into the couple’s bond, adding a personal touch to a day filled with tradition and grandeur.
