On Monday, the White House had its annual holiday reception, where the Trump family gathered to celebrate this year's holiday season, commemorating Christmas and Hanukkah. The family wore festive formal attire and made speeches, including Donald Trump Jr., who stood up beside his girlfriend, and subtly announced that they were getting married.

"I'm not usually at a loss for words, because I'm usually doing the ranting and raving really well," he said during the reception, as seen in a viral video on X. "I want to thank Bettina for that one word: 'Yes.'"

As her husband-to-be spoke, Bettina wore a floor-length, strapless red gown with sequin embellishments down the front. Her long blonde hair was worn down and curled, and she had a festive red bow in the back. She paired the red dress with a coordinating clutch. Donald Jr. matched her, wearing a bright red tie with his suit.

Once high-quality photos and videos of the happy couple were shared on social media platforms, fans began weighing in on the future Mrs. Trump's festive holiday look in the comments section.

"Beautiful," commented an Instagram user. "She's perfect!"

"Girl, you have a gorgeous dress," wrote another. "Congratulations!"
