"Melania was at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History to present her 2025 inaugural gown, which took its place alongside Mary Lincoln's purple velvet ensemble, Jacqueline Kennedy's state dinner dress and Michelle Obama's inaugural gown in the first ladies' collection. In contrast to her husband's recent tirades against the world's biggest museum complex WOKE IS BROKE, he wrote on social media last August Melania opened her remarks with a pointed statement: The Smithsonian Museum is an important cultural jewel."
"Personally, I relish the entire design process, from start to finish, she said, standing on stage beside the inaugural gown displayed on a mannequin. It takes time, it's slow, but the end result is always magical. If you had a chance to see my new film, Melania, you are well aware of what it took to bring this technical marvel to life."
"Melania wore the off-white silk crepe gown with a slit skirt, trimmed with two bands of black silk gazar, to the inaugural balls in January 2025. The gown was paired with a 1955 diamond brooch by Harry Winston, worn on a black ribbon choker. A reproduction of the brooch is now displayed at the museum. Preparation of the gravity-defying gown with designer Herve Pierre features prominently in the documentary Melania, as does the Slovenian-born former model's longstanding interest in fashion design."
