In a stunning appearance that took social media by storm, First Lady Melania Trump appeared in a structured black Givenchy wool-blend crepe evening gown, retailing for $6,800, paired with black suede Manolo Blahnik heels and tasteful personal jewelry, for the official 2025 White House Christmas portrait with President Donald Trump.
For context, the iconic first lady was photographed by Andrea Hanks in the Cross Hall on December 7, 2025. It marks their first joint Christmas portrait since 2020, when Melania wore a Christian Dior tuxedo. Previous years featured a white sequined Celine dress in 2018 and a glittering black Delpozo dress in 2017.
In addition to the glamorous photos, the White House issued an official statement.“This season also invites us to reflect on the blessings we share. For nearly 250 years, our Nation has grown through the hopes and hard work of families who believed in something greater than themselves. Their example inspires us today, especially at Christmas, when we gather with loved ones to celebrate the faith, family, and freedom that define our national story.”
On social media, users were blown away by Melania’s elegance. “🚨 JUST IN: White House releases the 2025 President Trump and First Lady Melania Christmas photo. CLASS IS BACK,” one user reacted in a viral post, which garnered thousands of likes.
In the comments under this post, thousands of users concurred. “Beautiful classy couple – So happy the First Lady no longer dresses like a Christmas tree as others before her have done,” one such reply noted. Agreeing, another conservative said, “The White House is really beautifully decorated for Christmas and to celebrate the birthday of Jesus!”
Another viral post read, “Class is back in the White House – President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s 2025 Christmas photo. The Golden Age of America!” Similarly, many users in the comments drew attention to Melania’s elegant outfit and effortless style.
However, this is far from Melania’s only iconic public appearance in recent weeks. At the 2025 National Christmas Tree Lighting, President Trump delivered a faith-filled speech that invoked Jesus’ birth, expressed love for all Americans, honored slain National Guard members, and touted achievements such as secure borders and economic strength. Melania Trump lit the tree amid praise for her elegance.

As we reported in the American Tribune, the president noted, “With the birth of Jesus, human history turned from night to day. His word and his example call us to love one another, to serve one another and to honor the sacred truth that every child is specially made in the image of God.”
Building on this point, Trump said, “I want to pay my deepest respect and love to all of our great citizens, like 350 million people. We love them all, whether you like them or not. We love them all. We want to take care of everybody. We have to take care of everybody in our country.”

President Donald Trump: “I want to pay my highest respects to those two great guardsmen, you know who I’m talking about. They paid, in one case, the ultimate and the other, Andrew [Wolfe], is getting better. Sarah [Beckstrom], unfortunately, is watching from a high, watching from heaven,” he said to conclude his comment.
