Fashion Notes: Melania Trump Steals the Show in Elie Saab Emerald Gown for Dinner with Saudi Crown Prince

Nov 19, 2025 | Entertainment, Lifestyle

On Tuesday evening, Melania Trump, styled by Hervé Pierre, wore a strapless ruched coated jersey dress in a rich Absinthe green from Lebanese fashion powerhouse Elie Saab — an appropriate choice for dinner with the Saudi Crown Prince.

The gown, still available at Neiman Marcus, retails for $3,350.

Mrs. Trump kept the ensemble modest with only a pair of earrings from her personal jewelry collection and a pair of BB 105mm suede pumps from Manolo Blahnik, a staple of her White House wardrobe.

The Manolo Blahnik stilettos, also available at Neiman Marcus, retail for $895.
