The music selection was perplexing for many viewers, but some observers were more fixated on what the pair had on for the night. In particular, Melania’s gown garnered reactions on social media.   “So, first ladies are allowed to be sleeveless? I distinctly remember people saying that it wasn’t classy,” one Threads user questioned about the garment worn by the naturalized American citizen. A second person on the social networking app jokingly asked, “Why is she wrapped in foil???” Melania’s outfit was also compared to a foil-covered popcorn brand when another poster wrote, “Jiffy Pop made that dress?” View on Threads “If Michelle had worn this, Google images would’ve been flooded with cartoons of a monkey swinging on a disco ball within the hour. (I’ll never forget how y’all did her),” complained a supporter of former first lady Michelle Obama. Additionally, a Trump critic zeroed in on the MAGA leader’s awkward way he stepped in front of the cameras alongside his spouse, writing, “Decrepit man shuffles whilst dragging his leg when walking and a third-rate plastic plastered in aluminum foil attend a grifting function.” “What’s up with his short pant legs?” an X user wondered about Trump’s trousers. Plus, one individual was sarcastically worried that Melania’s high heels were causing her pain, tweeting, “Her poor feet!” Vanilla Ice, @KristiNoem, @StephenM ICE ICE Baby pic.twitter.com/QskZUehP1I— Katie Miller (@KatieMiller) January 1, 2026 While Trump and Melania were the center of attention on Wednesday night, Mar-a-lago was also filled with special guests like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump’s three sons — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump — were in attendance as well. Members of the administration, such as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, were seen partying at the location. Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, shared a video of Grammy-nominated rapper Vanilla Ice performing his hit 1990 single “Ice Ice Baby” for the attendees. Ice, 58, hit the stage with a dancer dressed in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume.  Trump and company dancing the night away in Mar-a-Lago to ’90s-era recording artists was met with exuberant feedback from the MAGA faithful. However, critics of the Republican politician balked at him for hosting lavish gatherings amid rising concerns about affordability for the average American. ‘Dragging His Leg’: Trump and Melania’s ‘Lone Ranger’ Entrance Has Fans Zooming In as He Shuffles in ‘Short’ Pants and She ‘Winces’ in Heels ...read more read less
