Melania Trump wore a white, off-the-shoulder gown with a ruffle down the front, thin belt around her waist and a thigh slit for the Liberty Ball in Washington, D.C., Friday evening.

The first lady collaborated with designer Hervé Pierre on the column dress.

"It's an honor to dress the first lady," Pierre said in a statement to Women's Wear Daily. "I was actually lucky because over my 20 years in the U.S., I dressed all the first ladies: Mrs. Clinton at Oscar [de la Renta], Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Obama at Carolina Herrera. So, I feel lucky and honored to dress Melania Trump, but this time under my name."

The gala followed the inauguration of Melania's husband Donald as the 45th President of the United States.

The couple danced to the song "My Way" at three events throughout the night -- the Liberty Ball, the Freedom Ball and the Salute to Our Armed Forces Ball.
