Melania Trump looked merry and bright as she joined her husband at the Congressional Ball held in the grand foyer of the White House, which Donald Trump hailed his 'happy place'.
The first lady, 48, dazzled in a white shimmering sequins gown and made a grand entrance with Trump as the band played Hail to the Chief on Saturday evening.
Donald Trump addressed the crowd with a four minute speech celebrating his two years in office.
'It's been an incredible two years, it's been very, very special. No administration has done more in the first two years than the Trump administration,' he said.
'We have so much more to do and again this is going to be a really exciting week and I think it's going to be a really exciting year and next two years. Exciting things happened over the past 24 hours...' he said citing how a federal judge ruled the Affordable Care Act as unconstitutional on Friday evening, which could lead to the undoing of Obamacare.

'And the other thing they’re going to start working on very shortly is an infrastructure bill, because that’s something I think everybody wants to see,' he added.
He wished the crowd a happy Christmas, Hanukkah, and new year and passed the mic to Melania, who he commended for doing 'a job well done' with the decorations.
'Welcome to the White House. Enjoy the evening. Merry Christmas and happy and healthy new year,' the beaming First Lady said.
She dazzled in a white floor-length sequins dress by Céline and topped off the look with heels.
Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence were also in attendance.
Melania and Trump didn't linger for long and headed back upstairs just 29 minutes after arriving.
The president was all smiles in his tuxedo and didn't break a sweat as he talked about his 'great' two years in office, despite the looming probe by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential elections.
The probe has already gone on for 18-months as New York prosecutors examine Trump's campaign spending and donations by foreign nationals and file through the finances of his business the Trump Organization and his defunct charity the Trump Foundation.
And the pressure on the president is mounting as many of his trusted officials have already taken the fall in the probe.
Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort is in jail and his former personal attorney Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison on Wednesday.
Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for crimes including orchestrating hush payments to women in violation of campaign laws before the 2016 election, and he promised to keep cooperating with the U.S. government against his former boss.
Trump's campaign chairman Rick Gates is cooperating with Muller and is a confessed felon. He worked with Manafort during Trump's 2016 campaign.
The president's national security adviser Michael Flynn actively cooperated with Mueller, landing him no jail time after he offered 'substantial assistance' to the Justice Department. Flynn had admitted he lied to the FBI about the nature of his conversations with the Russian ambassador during the transition period between the 2016 election and Trump's inauguration.
His lies to federal investigators and Vice President Mike Pence, resulting in his firing from the White House in February of 2017.
Now all eyes are on Roger Stone, Trump's longtime political adviser, about what he knows about a Wikileaks email dump.
Stone has refused to testify against Trump in Mueller's investigation.
The Mueller probe aside, Trump saw a victory for his political agenda this week when a Texas court ruled Obamacare as 'unconstitutional'.
US District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth on Friday said that Obamacare, formally known as the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA), was unconstitutional based on its individual mandate - which was removed from the law by Republicans earlier this year.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
