Donald Trump Elected as President, Defeats Democratic Candidate Kamala Harris
The Trumps are heading back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, with him and his running mate JD Vance being declared the winners of the 2024 election over current Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, NBC News projected Nov. 6.
While Inauguration Day doesn’t take place until January, Trump and his wife Melania Trump won’t be the only ones making headlines that day. Whichever designer dresses the first lady will be in the news as well.
When Trump, who served as the 45th president, was sworn in at the 2017 ceremony, Melania wore a light blue dress and jacket from Ralph Lauren Collection. In fact, her outfit reminded many of the coat former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband John F. Kennedy’s presidential inauguration in 1961. For the inaugural ball later that evening, Melania changed into an off-the-shoulder silk crepe gown in shade vanilla with ruffle detailing and red ribbon belt by Hervé Pierre.
Following the balls, the gowns are featured in the First Ladies Collection at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, which currently includes 27 dresses and more than 160 objects that date back to the first First Lady Martha Washington.

The Jacket
Melania received criticism for wearing a Zara jacket with the words "I really don't care, do you?" written on the back while visiting migrant children in Texas in June 2018.
"It was for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticizing me, and I want to show them that I don't care," she told ABC News that October. "You could criticize whatever you want to say, but it will not stop me to do what I feel is right."
