The original blueprints for First Lady Melania Trump’s iconic inaugural ball gown are on full display to mark the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
A post by Melania’s personal couturier, fashion designer, and stylist Hervé Pierre — who once worked under the late Oscar de La Renta — reveals the original sketch and up-close angles of the gown’s sleek silk crepe structure.
“A year ago already I was the lucky one to design the gown for the First Lady,” Pierre wrote on Instagram. “What an honor.. It’s certainly a unique lifetime experience.. It was extraordinary to work with the First Lady on this amazing project.”

A Monday article addressing the first lady’s wardrobe declared “Melania Trump’s style evokes Europe roots, not America First.”
AP reporter Thomas Admason credited Trump, who grew up in Slovenia before moving to Paris in the 1990s, for staying “true to her roots,” and being “unafraid to go against her husband’s ‘America First’ agenda.” Admason described the first lady’s fashion choices as “keeping with the expensive personal taste she’s acquired since marrying Trump in 2005.”

The piece also contrasted Melania Trump’s fashion choices with former First Lady Michelle Obama. Admason described how Trump’s clothing choices are typically bought off-the-rack, without collaborating with a designer, while Obama often worked with designers. – READ MORE
