First Lady Melania Trump entered her 2025 inaugural gown into the Smithsonian National Museum of American History’s First Ladies Collection on Friday, offering praise for the designer Hervé Pierre and the team behind the construction of the dress. According to the Smithsonian, Trump is the first non-consecutive First Lady to donate an inaugural gown for a second time, and only the second First Lady in history to have two inaugural ball gowns represented in the collection.
