Melania Trump likely chose the most New Year’s Eve-ready gown as she celebrated the holiday with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
On the night of December 31, the First Lady shined in the Manu Sequin Dress in Infini Silver by The New Arrivals. Priced at $1,450, the gown featured a long, form-fitting sculptural silhouette adorned with high-shine metallic sequins reminiscent of a disco ball, a plunging scoop neckline that was quite daring for the former model, and an ankle-length hem—a striking alternative to the typical floor- or knee-length options.

Melania Trump Wows in a Silver Disco Ball Dress
The mother of one cinched the dress at the waist with a matching thin silver belt and completed the look with glittering silver crystal-embellished Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps.
Her honey-blonde hair flowed in soft waves with a center part, and her makeup showcased a soft glam look, pairing a smoky eye with glossy lips. The president wore a classic tuxedo as he walked hand in hand with his wife to the party.
Fans flocked to the comment section of Melania’s fan page on Instagram to share their thoughts and reactions to her look.
“Our kind and beautiful First Lady! You are loved! Thank you for all you do,” said one fan. A second wrote, “Stunning!!! Love the dress.” A third commented, “The most beautiful lady in the world.” A fourth wrote, “Melania is so pretty.” Someone else quipped, “She embodies stunning beauty and refinement. It's unbelievable how jealousy consumes some individuals.”

Donald Trump Hosts Another Lavish NYE Party At Mar-a-Lago
The Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve bash didn’t start with Trump’s presidency—it has a history that stretches back years, attracting high-profile celebrities long before he took office. This Trump family tradition, dating to around 2000, evolved from private Palm Beach social gatherings into lavish, star-studded, and politically charged galas. After Trump’s presidency, the events became nationally recognized, red-carpet affairs featuring themed décor, live music, and even Trump’s own political commentary.
According to reports, guests often pay thousands of dollars for the chance to mingle with celebrities, politicians, and business elites.
Before he became president, Trump’s NYE parties drew A-listers such as Serena Williams, Martha Stewart, Sylvester Stallone, and Tiger Woods (who is now dating Vanessa Trump, Don Jr.'s ex-wife and mother to their five children.) While the guest list has shifted in recent years (think fewer Hollywood names and more Trump-aligned figures), the parties remain major social events, maintaining their reputation for extravagance.
Melania co-hosted the most recent gala at the start of her second term as First Lady. She was absent from the December 31, 2023, party because she was in a Miami hospital caring for her mother, Amalija Knavs, who was critically ill and passed away shortly afterward in January 2024.
