I had in my mind a vision of Melania in a stunning white gown at the inaugural ball. It was the vision of the iconic bride in a dress that symbolizes both the untouchable purity of a princess and the regal perfection of a queen. My vision was recreated by Ralph Lauren to perfection. Melania, on that historic day was transformed in a spiritual sense to the role of America’s First Lady.
