Melania Trump’s wedding dress is there for the taking — for the right bid.
The luxurious Christian Dior by John Galliano gown that the first lady wore at her wedding to President Donald Trump in January 2005 is now up for sale on eBay.
A writer named Liana Satenstein shared with her subscribers on Tuesday that the couture dress, which Melania Trump had reportedly bought for $100,000, is being offered on the website for $45,000 (or best offer) with free shipping. The seller claims to have acquired the dress directly from the first lady.
Satenstein credited pal Patricia Torvalds with stumbling upon the style while searching for “80s Dior dresses.”
The eBay listing has been live since January.
According to reports, the seller mentioned to Torvalds that she purchased the gown from Melania herself. The seller, who had a mutual friend with Melania, supposedly bought the dress for her own 2010 wedding, paying $70,000 for it.
She copped to making minor changes to the original design, including “a new layer of satin on the bottom, embroidery pieces on the top and more fabric on the back of the dress” as well as “added straps.”
Melania memorably modeled the dress (and the matching 16-foot-long veil) on the cover of Vogue in February 2005 on the heels of her wedding in Palm Beach.
The extravagant ensemble was made from 300 feet of white duchesse satin and hand-embroidered with crystal beading for a reported 550 hours.
The iconic gown — which Melania selected in Paris with the help of none other than Anna Wintour herself — boasts a fitted bodice and mermaid skirt.
It even weighs a whopping 60 pounds, according to the original Vogue article.
President Trump, who proposed to the former model on the way to the 2004 Met Gala, shared a throwback photo of Melania in the gown while celebrating two decades of marriage via Instagram in January.
A slew of A-listers attended the couple’s wedding, from Bill and Hillary Clinton to Katie Couric and Shaquille O’Neal.
The POTUS proposed to his partner in April 2004, six years after they became an item, and Melania gave birth to son Barron, now 19, in March 2006.
While the wedding was her first, Donald was previously married to Ivana Trump and Marla Maples, with whom he welcomed four children.
