Melania is set to participate in the gown presentation ceremony at D.C.’s National Museum of American History Friday at 10 a.m.
According to Lisa Kathleen Graddy, curator of the museum’s First Ladies Collection, the act has been a tradition followed by every First Lady since Helen Herron Taft.

“Since then, it’s become the custom for the Smithsonian to make the donation request, and for the First Lady to give her gown for the public to view,” she told CNN.
The Smithsonian reportedly works to put together a mannequin that resembles each First Lady’s figure and begins working with the garment after the inauguration.
Designer Hervé Pierre, formerly creative director at Carolina Herrera, will attend Friday’s event as well.
