First Lady of the United States Melania Trump made a stunning appearance at the Congressional Ball on Thursday, lighting up the White House Grand Foyer in a white floor-length dress as President Donald Trump avoided talk about his impeachment process moving ahead.

All eyes were on Melania who appeared in a $4,000 crystal-embellished cape-effect silk-crepe gown from Lebanese designer Reem Acra, which is recommended for a wedding ceremony or reception as it pools at the bottom and has a chiffon lining to ensure coverage.

But POTUS took the time to point out her flair for interior decoration rather than her fashion sense - which has seen her wearing the cape style and the Beirut-born designer before, the Daily Mail reports.

The dress is from a Beirut-born designer who started out in bridal in 1997, working her way into eveningwear six years later. The item is recommended for a wedding ceremony or reception as it pools beautifully at the bottom and has a chiffon lining to ensure coverage and a smooth finish

Trump went on: 'The stock market just hit a brand new high. That would be 129 records in really much substantially less than three years'
