Without a\u00a0doubt\u00a0our new First Lady, Melania\u00a0Trump,\u00a0and the entire First Family shined over the entire course of the 58th Presidential Inaugural celebrations.\u00a0 The talented businesswoman, wife, and mother who is fluent in five languages was poised, polished and highlighted her spectacular and most importantly American wardrobe.<\/div>\n

Mrs. Trump began the festivities wearing a\u00a0double-breasted military-inspired coat by\u00a0Norisol Ferrari<\/a>, a small, independent New York designer at a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.\u00a0 Later that evening she wore another American designer,\u00a0Reem Acra<\/a>\u00a0also based in New York.\u00a0 The gown was floor-length and covered in nude colored sequins.<\/div>\n

However, the show stopper was without a doubt her powder-blue double-face cashmere dress and coat to the Inauguration\u00a0Day events, designed by\u00a0Ralph Lauren<\/a>.\u00a0 It was complemented with matching gloves and heels and her hair was swept up beautifully. \u00a0“It was important to us to uphold and celebrate the tradition of creating iconic American style for this moment,” Lauren’s company said in a statement.\u00a0 Lauren is not simply an iconic American designer he has created designs for four previous First Ladies (including Former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s wardrobe to President\u00a0Trump’s Swearing-In Ceremony), outfitted the U.S. Olympic team and lead the campaign to save the Star-Spangled Banner by donating $13 million dollars to the National Museum of American History.\u00a0 Mrs. Trump\u2019s look that day prompted immediate comparisons to a Former First Lady and political fashion icon, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis.<\/div>\n

For the piece that will go into history (literally it will end up eventually in the Smithsonian First Ladies exhibit along with other First Ladies Inaugural gowns and other pieces), \u00a0Melania Trump reportedly collaborated with New York designer Herv\u00e9 Pierre (a Frenchman who moved to New York in the early 1990s and was once creative director of Carolina Herrera).\u00a0 Together, they created an off-the-shoulder white crepe gown that included a thin burgundy ribbon as a belt, it included a high slit and a gazar wave curving from sleeve to hip and then down the skirt.\u00a0 She was stunning.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
She finished the Inaugural activities at the National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral where the First Lady selected an\u00a0Alice Roi<\/a>,\u00a0another New York designer with a navy cashmere and wool coat that clinched at the waist\u00a0with a wide navy leather belt. She finished her look with a pair of five-inch patent leather blue Christian Louboutin pumps.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There is no doubt that the former fashion model has an eye for fashion and we are all excited to see how she ushers in a modern Reagan\/Kennedy style glamour to the White House and Washington, DC as our new First Lady of the United States of America.<\/div>\n
