00:00Melania Trump's Inauguration Day looks may have been divisive, but she undeniably made
00:06a big statement with her dress at the evening's Inaugural Ball festivities.
00:10While the tech bros dominated the front row at Donald Trump's second inauguration as president
00:14on January 20th, 2025, our eyes were set on the returning first lady, who made some bold
00:20fashion choices in her return to Washington.
00:23The former fashion model continues to surprise with what she chooses to wear.
00:27Of course, not everything she wears is everyone's cup of tea.
00:30Early in the day, Melania served ultimate spy boss lady energy in a navy coat with a
00:35wide-brimmed hat that generated no end of memes comparing her to cartoon villains.
00:40Her husband even had to joke about it.
00:42With the hat that she's wearing, she almost blew away.
00:45We almost lost her."
00:47But her inaugural ball look was what truly took our breath away.
00:50When Donald and Melania walked out hand-in-hand at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center,
00:55the first lady nearly stole the now 47th president's spotlight.
01:00Melania's white, custom Hervé-Pierre dress with a slit along the left side in black graphic
01:05detailing was the perfect choice to kick off her second stint as first lady.
01:09Pierre, who has designed many of Melania's signature looks, posted his designs for the
01:13dress to Instagram on the evening of the ball, and captioned it,
01:16"'It was such an honor to create the dress for the First Lady Melania Trump tonight.
01:21I can't thank her enough.
01:22It was a wonderful project, a great collaboration, as always."
01:26"'Some people want to work with certain people, some people don't want to.
01:30I choose to do it.'"
01:34The dress itself was a statement piece, but the white heels and accessories brought an
01:37unexpected edginess that took things up a notch.
01:40"'The look, complete with a dramatic choker.'"
01:42The chunky black choker seemed to be part of Pierre's initial concept, given that the
01:47designer's drawing shows a band of black fabric around the neck.
01:50But Melania added an accessory of her own, a flower brooch.
01:54Chokers have been in and out of style for decades.
01:56We haven't seen too much of them in the early 2020s, but it seems as though that's all beginning
02:01to change.
02:02One user wrote on Ex of Melania's choice to wear one,
02:05"'Do men like chokers?
02:06The necklace Melania is wearing right now is a choker.
02:09I love them.'"
02:10Regardless of whether or not men find them attractive, though, chokers are great accessories,
02:15and we think they deserve the comeback they're getting in 2025.
