They arrived hand in hand, around 10:30 p.m. After the mass at St James, the inauguration ceremony and a visit to the White House, Donald and Melania Trump continued the festivities at the Commander-in-Chief ball on Monday January 20. They shared the traditional first dance. For a brief moment, the couple seemed alone in the world, on this ground adorned with the seal of the President of the United States.
Slow-motion
Before setting off on the track, to the tunes ofAmerican Trilogy by Elvis Presley. The 47e President and the First Lady then began a slow dance under the eyes of the soldiers present. A closeness that contrasted with the apparent distance of Melania Trump during the inauguration ceremony. The first lady’s hat then hid her gaze – and presented a slight obstacle to her husband’s kisses. A coldness that faded as their dance progressed.
The Trumps appeared all smiles, head to head, and whispered a few words in each other’s ears. They later danced alongside Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha. During the evening, Donald Trump was even seen with a sword in his hand, swaying to the rhythm of the YMCA. For the occasion, the first lady wore a long black and white strapless slit dress by Hervé Pierre, her personal stylist for eight years. The Trumps later attended two other balls – the Liberty Ball and the Starlight Ball. Before disappearing from the eyes of the world. Not for very long.
