MELANIA Trump donned a white Roksanda dress described as a “beautiful option for the modern bride” on stage Monday at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

The “Margot” dress, which retails for $2190, quickly sold out in most sizes on Net-a-porter’s retail website following Mrs Trump’s appearance on stage, according to the New York Post.

A spokesperson for Trump told Women’s Wear Daily that she purchased the dress from the website.

Roksanda Ilinic, the Serbian-born designer behind the brand, is based in London.

Trump’s campaign wants to promote the 46-year-old Slovenian-born model-turned-designer as a 21st-century Jackie Kennedy.

“Melania will be recast as the next Jackie O. She speaks four languages, ” a Trump adviser told The Post.
