On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump celebrated the inauguration with the traditional Commander-in-Chief Ball in Washington, D.C. The event was marked by elegance, music, and notable dances that highlighted the evening.
First Lady Melania Trump captivated attendees in a black-and-white gown designed by Hervé Pierre. The strapless dress featured a square neckline, a contrasting black zig-zag detail cascading through its length, a front thigh-high slit, and a floor-grazing hemline. The President and First Lady shared their inaugural dance to a rendition of Elvis Presley’s “An American Trilogy,” setting a graceful tone for the evening.
As the night progressed, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance joined the First Couple on stage. Usha Vance wore a blue strapless gown adorned with glittering sequins, complemented by a sheer mesh neckline and a flowing tulle skirt. The two couples danced together, symbolizing unity and the beginning of their joint tenure.
The atmosphere further enlivened when members of the armed forces were invited to join the dance floor, reflecting the administration’s appreciation for military service. A memorable highlight was President Trump’s enthusiastic participation in dancing to “YMCA” by the Village People, a song that had become synonymous with his campaign rallies.
The Commander-in-Chief Ball not only celebrated the inauguration but also showcased the camaraderie between the President, Vice President, and their spouses, setting a festive tone for the administration’s new term.
