The red carpet buzzed with excitement as the first guests arrived for Melania Trump’s much-anticipated movie premiere, a glitzy event reminiscent of Hollywood’s Oscars but with a distinct MAGA flair.
Among the early arrivals was former Trump attorney Alina Habba, who made a striking entrance in a sleek black pantsuit. Joining her was Brooke Rollins, the Secretary of Agriculture, who dazzled in a sparkling jacket paired with a dark evening gown, setting the tone for the evening’s glamorous affair.
Adding to the star-studded roster, Speaker Mike Johnson and his wife, Kelly, opted for a lighter palette, stepping away from the evening’s darker hues. Kelly shone in a sophisticated beige dress. In a brief conversation, the Speaker hinted at the possibility of a short government shutdown due to ongoing congressional disputes over ICE funding.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrived accompanied by his wife, Jennifer, who captivated onlookers in a glittering midnight-blue jumpsuit. Meanwhile, Diana Zeldin, wife of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, turned heads in a bold white ensemble.
For Dr. Oz, the premiere was a family gathering. He attended with his wife, Lisa, and their children, Oliver and Daphne, enjoying the evening’s festivities together.
Rounding out the notable attendees, Health Secretary RFK Jr., Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump-Kennedy Center Director Ric Grenell all showcased classic style in navy blue suits complemented by crisp white shirts.
The documentary, titled Melania: Twenty Days to History had multiple film crews following the First Lady from New York City, to West Palm Beach, Florida, to Washington, DC in the days leading up to Trump’s second inauguration.

The $40 million movie directed by Brett Ratner gives a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most private first ladies in modern history.
The invite-only guest list includes several administration officials, various former NFL players and UFC fighters and social media influencers.
Confirmed guests include rapper Waka Flocka Flame, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Jordan Belfort, Fox News personalities Bret Baier and Maria Bartiromo, FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Dr. Phil.
The President and First Lady also held a private screening at the White House the Saturday before release – controversially deciding to go forward with the event just hours after the country was rocked by a CBP agent shooting and killing ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Melania told The Five as part of her promotion for the movie on Wednesday that she hopes people will ‘know me a little bit more’ by watching the film.

‘I’m a very private person and a very selective person. What I do, what I don’t do; when I talk, when I don’t talk. And that’s my choice. Nobody is in charge of me and I’m not in charge of anybody else,’ she divulged to the Fox News panel.
Amazon MGM Studios won a bidding war among Hollywood studios to produce Melania, in what many saw as a way from billionaire owner Jeff Bezos to curry favor with the President.
Disney and Paramount both lost out to the $40 million offering from Amazon.
