From $100,000 to $45,000: Is Melania Trump’s wedding gown up for auction after 20 years? Here’s what eBay seller claims

  • Melania Trump's 2005 Christian Dior wedding gown from her Palm Beach, Florida wedding to Donald Trump is currently listed for auction on eBay by seller Svjabc1, without a certificate of authenticity.
  • Melania reportedly collaborated with Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley for her wedding look after seeing the original Galliano design in Paris, ultimately deciding the elaborate gown was manageable.
  • The ivory duchesse satin gown, featuring crystal beading and requiring over 500 hours of hand embroidery, originally cost $100,000, weighed 60 pounds, included a 13-foot train and was featured on the cover of Vogue magazine in February 2005.
  • The eBay seller, Svjabc1, claims to have purchased the gown from Melania in 2010 for $70,000 through a mutual friend with the intention of wearing it at her own 2011 wedding, and states that the dress has been worn only twice.
  • Liana Satenstein shared the eBay listing on her Substack, with a starting bid and "Buy Now" price of $45,000, and the gown currently has 71 watchers, potentially indicating a lack of sentimentality from Melania regarding her marriage.
