"A ribbon encircling a bouquet of flowers"

"It was such an honor to create the dress for the First Lady Melania Trump tonight.. I can’t thank her enough… it was a wonderful project, a great collaboration… as always !!!!"

"designed by #HervéPierre a strapless off-white silk crepe gown with two bands of black silk gazar. As an accent, Melania borrowed a diamond broach that was created by #HarryWinston in 1955 and wore it as a choker. Its design is meant to reflect Pierre’s concept for the gown – a ribbon encircling a bouquet of flowers – as indicated in his initial sketch for the dress. She also wears classic white leather shoes from #ManoloBlahnik"

A custom navy silk wool coat and pencil skirt with an ivory silk crepe blouse from the New York-born designer Adam Lippes. All three garments were hand-sewn in Manhattan. A custom hat from another native New Yorker, Eric Javits. "The American-made outfit involved a clandestine operation that was orchestrated by her stylist Herve Pierre."
