WASHINGTON, DC: Melania Trump’s extravagant wedding dress, a custom Christian Dior by John Galliano creation, has reportedly surfaced on eBay with a $45,000 asking price.

Originally worn during her 2005 wedding to Donald Trump, the couture gown once valued at $100,000 is now allegedly being offered by a private seller who claims to have acquired it from the first lady herself, Page Six reported.

Fashion writer Liana Satenstein shared the discovery with her Neverworns Substack readers, crediting a friend, Patricia Torvalds, for stumbling across the listing while searching for vintage Dior pieces.

The seller, whose identity remains undisclosed, claims that she purchased the gown directly from Melania for $70,000 ahead of her own wedding in 2010.

The seller has admitted to making several alterations to the dress, including adding a new satin layer, embroidery details, additional fabric at the back, and even adding straps modifications that diverge from the original masterpiece featured on the cover of Vogue in February 2005.
