Kai Trump supported her grandfather President Donald Trump at Monday night’s inaugural ball wearing Sherri Hill.
Kai sparkled in a beaded gown with a corset bodice and high slit as she unveiled her look on Instagram Monday night.
“Inaugural ball dance ready✨ @sherrihill,” the teen captioned a video of herself twirling and showing off the dress.
The 17-year-old influencer revealed on YouTube Monday that the American designer had sent her three glittering gowns to wear over the two days of scheduled inauguration events — one in red, one in silver and another one in blue.
Kai wore the strapless navy cutout number to Sunday night’s candlelight dinner, along with her favorite silver Badgley Mischka heels — “Kai’s $200 heels that everyone likes to talk about,” as she joked.
She also told her YouTube audience that while she had never worn Sherri Hill before the weekend, she’s “heard of her” work before and she’s a “really good designer.”

“Thanks so much for sending these, Sherri. I appreciate it. They look so amazing,” Kai said.
Fittingly, Hill’s first New York Fashion Week was held at Trump Tower in 2011; Kendall Jenner made her runway debut during the event.
The University of Miami-bound student also gave her followers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her glam for Sunday’s dinner in the video, sharing how she and makeup artist Jessica Lindsay Parker came up with her “soft glow.”

“We’re building on what she already has,” Parker shared. “Making eyebrows look pretty, doing a gold shimmer [on her eyes], not doing too much heavy [shadow] on the upper lid because her eyelid space is kind of small so if you do too dark, it gets too heavy. And then we’ll do a light lash.”
Clarified Kai, “I don’t really like stuff on my face, so I always like doing the soft glam. So it’s not a whole lot of makeup, but it looks amazing on me.”
Aunt Ivanka Trump attended the dinner in a dazzling Oscar de la Renta dress embroidered with crystals and pearls, while incoming first lady Melania wore a black sequined Carolina Herrera skirt with a Saint Laurent cape and white Dolce & Gabbana blouse.
