Melania and Donald Trump made an entrance at a glamorous movie premiere in Washington, D.C., an event being dubbed as MAGA’s version of the Oscars.

The First Lady looked elegant in a Dolce & Gabbana dress paired with black stilettos, while former President Trump opted for his trademark navy blue suit. The couple attended the event at the newly christened Trump-Kennedy Center on Thursday evening.

In response to a reporter’s query about Amazon’s $40 million deal for the film rights, Trump took a jab at former President Obama’s Netflix agreement, commenting, “Ask President Obama who got paid a lot of money and hasn’t done anything. Melania really produced.”

Expressing her own sentiments, Melania shared her pride in the film, acknowledging the challenges involved in its production.

“You will see humor, you will see grief, you will see fashion, so I’m very proud of the film,” she conveyed to the press.

The documentary, titled Melania: Twenty Days to History had multiple film crews following the First Lady from New York City, to West Palm Beach, Florida, to Washington, DC in the days leading up to Trump’s second inauguration.

The President and First Lady were joined by a star-studded guestlist including social media influencers, professional athletes and pop musicians. Trump’s political acolytes were also out in force including, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Health Secretary RFK Jr. and Speaker Mike Johnson.

‘It really brings back the glamour,’ Trump told reporters. ‘This is like the good old days when the Academy Awards used to get ratings.’

Former Trump attorney Alina Habba donned a chic black pant suit and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins wore a glitzy jacket over a dark evening gown as they were among the first luminaries to step out. 

She was followed by Speaker Mike Johnson and his wife Kelly who bucked the dark theme with a beige dress. The Speaker told the Mail there might be a short government shutdown as Congress battles over ICE funding.

Hegseth was joined by his wife Jennifer who wore a glittering midnight-blue jumpsuit, while Administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin’s wife Diana stunned in a daring white ensemble.

It was a family affair for Dr Oz who arrived with wife Lisa and their kids Oliver and Daphne.

Health Secretary RFK Jr., Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump-Kennedy Center director Ric Grenell donned navy blue suits with white shirts.

The $40 million movie directed by Brett Ratner gives a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most private first ladies in modern history.

The invite-only guest list includes several administration officials, various former NFL players and UFC fighters and social media influencers.

Confirmed guests include rapper Waka Flocka Flame, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Jordan Belfort, Fox News personalities Bret Baier and Maria Bartiromo, FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Dr. Phil.

The President and First Lady also held a private screening at the White House the Saturday before release – controversially deciding to go forward with the event just hours after the country was rocked by a CBP agent shooting and killing ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Melania told The Five as part of her promotion for the movie on Wednesday that she hopes people will ‘know me a little bit more’ by watching the film.

‘I’m a very private person and a very selective person. What I do, what I don’t do; when I talk, when I don’t talk. And that’s my choice. Nobody is in charge of me and I’m not in charge of anybody else,’ she divulged to the Fox News panel.

Amazon MGM Studios won a bidding war among Hollywood studios to produce Melania, in what many saw as a way from billionaire owner Jeff Bezos to curry favor with the President.

Disney and Paramount both lost out to the $40 million offering from Amazon.
