Melania Trump's Inaugural Ball gown may have been a nod to the American Dream.

The first lady attended three balls on Monday night after her husband, Donald Trump, was inaugurated as the 47th U.S. president.

Melania wore a dress by French-American designer Herve Pierre, which was complimented by a black choker from jeweler Harry Winston.

Newsweek contacted the First Lady's office, and representatives of Pierre, the Smithsonian Museum and Harry Winston, for comment.

Why It Matters

The fashion choices of the first ladies have always been a point of conversation and what they choose to wear at the Inauguration Balls even features as an exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum.

Winston himself is no stranger to decorating famous women with famous jewels and even donated a series of diamonds, including the 45.52 carat Hope Diamond, to the Smithsonian.
