You can buy Melania Trump’s wedding dress on eBay for $45,000

Melania Trump’s one-of-a-kind wedding dress is on sale for an asking price of $45,000 on eBay.

The ivory duchesse satin dress was worn at the 2005 wedding between the future president and first lady – and also featured on the cover of Vogue magazine, the sole instance of international model Melania appearing on a Vogue cover. Jill Biden, meanwhile, has two to her name.

The Christian Dior gown was designed by John Galliano. It took over 500 hours to hand-sew 1,500 Swarovski diamonds onto its 13-foot train. Its reported original manufacturer’s suggested retail price was $210,000, but it will now be sold at a fraction of the price after being worn only a handful of times.

The seller of this dress said she purchased it from Melania for $70,000 to wear for her own wedding in 2011. Some adjustments have been made. The seller added a new layer of satin to the dress to adjust it from a size 0-2 to a size 4-6; however the seller assures that the fabric can be removed to bring the dress back to its original size.

The garment currently has 70 watchers and is in the cart of two people. Cockburn’s best guesses: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vanessa Trump. AOC, the New York Congresswoman, has been engaged to Riley Roberts since 2022, and it’s about time they tie the knot – unless she plans on rewearing the Tax the Rich dress that made headlines at the 2021 Met Gala.

An option a little more close to home could be Vanessa, Melania’s former stepdaughter-in-law. Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife made her relationship with champion golfer Tiger Woods public this month, just a few weeks after Woods had met with the President to celebrate Black History Month at the White House. You might as well keep it in the family.
