<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two of the photos showed Melania getting dressed in a gorgeous </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">strapless black and pearl-colored floor-length gown with a fitted bodice and black ribbon that wrapped around the entire dress — designed by the first lady’s stylist and designer Herve Pierre for Trump&#8217;s inauguration balls.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking to the outlet, Pierre opened up about working with the first lady and gave a bit of insight about her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“[When I had] just started to work for Mrs Trump, I was preparing clothes for a fitting and saw her putting shoes in a suitcase,” Pierre said. “I immediately told her that she couldn’t do that and it was my job to do it, and she answered: ‘I always pack myself so I am sure what is in my luggage.’</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She will also make a coffee for you herself,” he added. “So if you have a vision of a woman surrounded by servants, you are wrong.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Melania’s </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">official photographer Regine Mahaux also shared with the outlet and said, “[Melania&#8217;s] a different person than she was eight years ago and has always been true to herself. This time, it feels like a different energy with new people that the President has surrounded himself with.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She’s always in the right place,” Mahaux added. “She’s always behind her husband. He’s in the light; she doesn’t need the light. She’s a very good number two. It’s always her husband first, and I like that; she has strong family values, to be a good wife and to make sure they’re happy.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cover story also included an interview with Melania’s interior designer Tham Kannalikham, who has already helped the first lady put Trump&#8217;s stamp on the White House.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We felt a deep obligation to give the White House the respect it deserves, understanding our role as stewards of this historic home,” the designer said. “Together, we approached this endeavour with a commitment to elevating its design to the highest standards, celebrating American craftsmanship and artistry.”</span></p>
