The silver Sherri Hill dress featured a plunging neckline, a corset-style bodice, and a thigh-high slit skirt. However, the most eye-catching part of the ensemble was a V-shaped cutout on the torso that took the style quotient up a notch. Furthermore, she paired her gown with minimal accessories that included a couple of bracelets, long earrings, and a slinky necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. A pair of strappy open-toe heels and a watch rounded off her look.

Kai Trump opted for a shimmery glam that complemented her beaded Sherri Hill gown. She donned silver eyeshadow and a glossy lip while keeping her hair open with a middle part. While sharing her look on Instagram, she gave a slight twirl that showcased the beauty of the piece. 

Meanwhile, Kai Trump shared more details about her inauguration outfits on her YouTube vlog. The influencer revealed that Sherri Hill had sent her three glittering ball gowns to wear for the inauguration events — silver, red, and blue. She wore the blue cutout gown to the pre-inauguration candlelit dinner over the weekend. The YouTuber further revealed that she had never donned the designer’s pieces before while expressing her gratitude to Hill for sending the gowns across.
