9 Years of Melania's Met Gala Looks
Tuesday, November 29, 2016
Donald and Melania Trump have been a staple at the high profile Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala for the past decade. The business mogul and his model wife have shelled out $50k each for the coveted tickets.
Melania's red carpet looks for the Met Gala have evolved over the years with the change in trends. She rarely goes with the theme of the gala but always looks glamorous for the occasion. Even though fashion isn't as in love with Melania now as they've been with Michelle Obama, we're celebrating the Slovenian model's nine years on the Met Gala red carpet.

Even though fashion isn't as in love with Melania now as they've been with Michelle Obama, we're celebrating the Slovenian model's nine years on the Met Gala red carpet.
For her inaugural Met Gala, the then girlfriend of Donald Trump wore a black strapless gown with a cinched waist. The dress looks to be a John Galliano creation, which Melania accessorized with layered diamond bracelets and chandelier earrings. She was also a dark haired beauty at that time with raven colored locks.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute dedicated it's 2005 exhibit to Chanel. For the opening gala, Melania, who was now Mrs. Trump, wore a stunning black strapless gown with a mermaid tulle bottom by Alexander McQueen. She accessorized the dramatic frock with a Chanel bow broach worn at the knee and carried a tiny Chanel bag.
In 2006, a then pregnant Melania walked the red carpet of the Met Gala looking busty in a white strapless, sweetheart neckline gown embellished with a black ribbon around bust. She kept this look simple with a statement diamond necklace and her brunette locks worn in a messy updo.
Melania tapped Project Runway winner Christian Siriano to design her 2010 Met Gala gown. The theme of the exhibit was "American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity."
For the 2011 Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit opening, Melania opted to wear a gold sequined gown by Reem Acra, which she styled with her go-to gold Alexander McQueen Skull Box Clutch.
The Costume Institute paid homage to Muiccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli in 2012. For the “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations" themed opening gala, Melania went rocker chic in a sharp shoulder white Marc Bouwer Couture mini dress. She paired the dress with glittery Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps.
