Melania Trump’s Wedding Gown Resurfaces: A Gown Designed for Glamour and History
A seller on eBay, operating under the username “Svjabc1,” claims to be offering Melania Trump’s famous wedding dress for sale, asserting she acquired it from Melania herself in 2010 for $70,000.
The opulent Christian Dior wedding gown worn by Melania Trump in her 2005 nuptials to Donald Trump has reportedly reappeared online—this time with a far more modest price tag. Originally priced at $100,000, the lavish dress, crafted by designer John Galliano, is currently listed for $45,000, less than half its original value.
The wedding, held in Palm Beach, Florida, was a display of wealth and splendor befitting a high-profile power couple. Melania’s dress was nothing short of theatrical: constructed from 300 feet of white duchesse satin and adorned with more than 1,500 hand-sewn crystals, rhinestones, and pearls. Weighing nearly 60 pounds, the couture gown made waves in the fashion world and was famously featured on the February 2005 cover of Vogue, captured by the legendary Mario Testino.
eBay Appearance Sparks Interest
The dress, now being sold through eBay by a New York-based user, is described as the original custom Dior gown worn by Melania Trump. The seller, who claims to have worn the dress herself at her own wedding, said she altered it slightly to suit her frame—adding additional fabric, shoulder straps, embroidery, and a satin sash at the waist.
The listing reads:
“Christian Dior wedding gown designed by John Galliano for Melania Trump’s 2005 wedding to Donald Trump—UNITED STATES PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP!”
According to the post, the gown can be tailored back to its original size. The seller is urging “serious inquiries only” but provides no certificate of authenticity, leading to speculation about whether the dress is genuine.
Reactions Online
The listing quickly caught the eye of fashion lovers, collectors, and Trump supporters. While some see it as a rare chance to purchase an iconic piece of fashion history, others question its authenticity.
Fashion publication Women’s Wear Daily cited an insider source who claimed the actual dress worn by Melania is still housed at Mar-a-Lago, the Trump family’s private Florida residence. If accurate, this would suggest the eBay dress is either a replica or a completely different piece.
Nonetheless, interest in the listing remains strong. Over the past 24 hours, the post has received more than 3,500 views, with 143 users actively “watching” it. Despite the attention, no buyer has yet stepped forward with a confirmed offer.
