THE dresses of Melania, Ivanka, Tiffany, and Kai Trump stunned onlookers at the Liberty inaugural ball, but one woman’s look was a clear winner.

President Donald Trump and his wife joined their entire family on the dance floor at the ball to celebrate his historic inauguration on Monday night.

With all men wearing black tie for the occasion, the women’s glamorous ball gowns stole the show.  After changing out of the navy blue ensemble she wore for the Inauguration Ceremony, which was paired with a matching white trim, Melania Trump left fans speechless with her ballgown.

She yet again sent another “bold message” with her outfit choice, opting for an eye-catching black and white number.  The First Lady wore a striking strapless black-and-white dress, a black choker, and a 1955 broach borrowed from Harry Winston.  Her silk crepe dress was made by Hervé Pierre, who has been the former model’s personal stylist for eight years.

After creating her dresses for the 2017 inaugural ball, he went for a white gown with a black ribbon falling around her body from the top of the dress to the bottom.  According to Women’s Wear Daily, the ribbon depicts a ribbon around a bouquet of flowers.  Pierre said: “It is a great honor to have collaborated with the First Lady on the design for her inaugural dress.  “It was clear that Mrs. Trump was gravitating towards a combination of black and white – true to her own style and vision.”  “It is understood that Mr. Winston’s wish was that First Ladies would be able to borrow his pieces for special occasions,” the press release added.

Meanwhile, Ivanka channeled old Hollywood with her outfit choice.  She wore a custom recreation of Hubert de Givenchy’s 1954 couture gown previously worn by fashion icon Audrey Hepburn in the movie Sabrina.  The white strapless ball gown had an elegant black trim at the bottom, and black floral embroidery was on the skirt and corset.  The mother-of-three glowed as she paired the look with black elbow-length gloves, in true Hepburn fashion, and matching heels.

Her blonde hair was elegantly styled in an updo displaying her large diamond stud earrings and matching necklace.  The 43-year-old First Daughter took to the floor with her husband, 44-year-old Jared Kushner, and they shared an intimate dance.  According to a White House representative, Ivanka was “honored” to wear the gown for the historic event.  She is “incredibly grateful for Arnault family and the Givenchy atelier for creating this masterpiece, capturing the original artistry and elegance with remarkable precision and craftsmanship.”

The spokesperson added that Hepburn “has long been a personal inspiration to Ivanka.”  “She views it as a great privilege to honor her legacy in this way, and is incredibly grateful to the team at Givenchy for bringing this moment to life.”

Also on the dance floor were the new president and first lady, Vice President JD Vance, his wife Usha Vance, Ivanka’s siblings, and their spouses.Tiffany Trump showcased her growing baby bump in a dove-grey, off-the-shoulder dress with an embellished bodice, long sleeves, and a flowing chiffon skirt.

The glowing mother-to-be left her blonde locks down and had a scarf matching her dress draped elegantly around her neck, which hung down her back as she danced with her husband, Michael Boulos.  Meanwhile, her sister-in-law, Lara Trump, chose a very different look: a fiery floor-length red strapless dress.  The satin dress accentuated her slim frame with a much more body-forming fit than those of her relatives.

At the back was a short, ruffled train attached to the dress’s elegant waistband.  She, too, wore her wavy hair down and paired the look with a statement necklace and sparkling heels as she danced with her husband, Eric Trump.  The bold red dress came after cruel trolls slammed her inauguration look, blaming a “Mar-a-Lago makeover.”  Also making a bold statement and coming into her own on Inauguration night was Kai Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr.

The 17-year-old golfer, often pictured in her sportswear, stepped onto the stage at the Liberty Ball with her proud father by her side.  She opted for a Sherri Hill number from the new Spring 2025 collection.  The brand became hugely popular after Hill’s designs were worn by winners of Miss USA, Miss Universe, and Miss America.  Kai walked onto the stage arm-in-arm with her father, wearing a silver sequinned gown with cut-out detailing and a thigh-high slit.

She wore her hair straight and paired the look with simple accessories, including a silver necklace and a heart-shaped pendant.  But the First Lady came out on top, with fans adoring her “classy and beautiful” look.  On X, one said: “Simple and classy. Melania wears the dress, but it doesn’t wear her. Beautiful.”  “Exquisite elegance with an edge that befits her stylish confidence,” another added.  “She looks exquisite in her gown! It’s wonderful to see a First Lady who exemplifies such grace and class again!,” a third wrote.

The whole Trump family was out in force, along with the Vice President and his wife Usha
