Melania’s debut appearance at the lavish annual party was in 1999, when her then-boyfriend Mr Trump charged $2846 a head (reportedly the highest-ever ticket price in Palm Beach for a non-charity event) and trucked in 13 kilograms of caviar. She first wore black in 2016 when her husband was president-elect. The colour was unusual for Mrs Trump, who in past years has shown a preference for pink gowns at New Year’s Eve parties (last year it was a rose embroidered Erdem satin number). With the government shutdown keeping an unhappy Mr Trump, 72, at the White House, she was the evening’s unofficial host, gliding through the Mar-a-Lago crush in a spangled black Stella McCartney dress.
