President Donald Trump and his family held a New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, their private residence in Palm Beach, Florida (which is sometimes referred to as the “Winter White House”). For the occasion, First Lady Melania Trump opted for an embroidered mid-length dress from British label Erderm.
The pale-pink Emery dress, from the brand’s Pre-Fall 2017 collection, is covered in paillettes from its high neck to the mid-calf hem. Clusters of embroidered flowers are scattered throughout the ’40s-inspired silhouette. The style originally retailed for $5,500 at luxury retailer Browns, but is currently on sale for $2,201.26. (It’s sold out on Erdem’s website.)
Though Erdem released the dress with a periwinkle-colored belt, Melania removed it for the New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago. The resulting look, then, was more ’80s than its original iteration. She finished the look off with pointed-toe stilettos in a matching shade of pink.

This Erdem style is in line with the First Lady’s penchant for dramatic sleeves. (There were the equally draped, bell-shaped ones that made an appearance in that weird viral video of her watching ballerinas, and the puffy sculpted ones affixed to a $2,950 neon-fuschia dress by Delpozo that she wore to give a speech at the United Nations.) What’s more, another member of the First Family wore the designer earlier this year: Ivanka Trump chose a midi dress from the brand’s Fall 2017 collection to give a speech in India, per Footwear News.
Trump’s Erdem gown, with its four-figure price tag, is still available for purchase at Browns.
