Melania Trump may have been out of the spotlight while recovering from a May 14 kidney procedure, but she stepped back into it Sunday wearing a dazzling ‒ and expensive ‒ designer dress.

The first lady arrived for a gala at Ford’s Theater on Sunday night wearing a floor-length gown from German fashion house Escada, according to the U.K’s Express and Daily Mail. The tricolor dress, reportedly made from a blend of triacetate, polyester and silk, currently retails for $2,757 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
