The former US first lady often wore lavish gowns from designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Vera Wang, Roberto Cavalli and more.
Here’s a closer look at the couple’s fashion throughout the years at the star-studded event.

In 2010, Trump sported his go-to tux while Melania wore a navy satin dress by Christian Siriano. The designer later stated that he would not dress Melania while she served as first lady.

“I think for a while everyone was trying to figure out what to do. Unfortunately, it really doesn’t have anything to do with [Melania], but she is representing what’s happening politically and what’s happening politically right now is not really good for anyone,” he told Time magazine in 2017.

Melania had a number of controversial moments during her four years in the White House.
