<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a later </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFE9AJJuOEc/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the designer shared the initial drawing of the gown, which he wrote was nothing more than &#8220;a simple scribble with a marker on a piece of paper &#8230;&#8221; It would end up being the focal point for the dress, which included a fitted bodice and black ribbon that wrapped around the entire dress.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, Melania asked Herve Pierre to create the gown she wore to the Inauguration Balls during President Trump’s first presidency. It was a strapless cream-colored gown with a red trim around the waist. A </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BeIwcHAn801/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">year later</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> he shared details about getting to design the first lady&#8217;s dress. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A year ago already &#8230; The First Lady gave me the HONOR to design her gown for the inauguration,” Pierre wrote. “What a unique experience it was to collaborate with her &#8230; I shall never forget &#8230; I still pinch myself she chose me !! All my warmest wishes to our First Lady.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Melania’s gown stole the night, Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump also made headlines when she stepped out on Monday to the various balls wearing a gorgeous recreation of Givenchy’s haute couture gown designed for Audrey Hepburn in the 1954 film “Sabrina,” </span><a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/01/21/style/ivanka-trump-wears-gorgeous-white-gown-complete-with-black-floral-patterns-at-donald-trumps-inaugural-ball/?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=pagesix&amp;utm_content=pagesix_feed"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Page Six</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ivanka’s strapless fitted black-and-white gown included beautiful embroidered black floral motifs throughout along with a bustle-like overskirt. She completed the look with black opera gloves and black pumps.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A White House representative told the outlet that Ivanka was “honored” to wear the gown and “incredibly grateful [to the] Arnault family and the Givenchy atelier for creating this masterpiece, capturing the original artistry and elegance with remarkable precision and craftsmanship.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Audrey Hepburn has long been a personal inspiration to Ivanka,” the rep added. “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.”</span></p>
