The army sergeant who danced with Melania Trump during Donald Trump’s inaugural Commander-in-Chief ball has revealed what she whispered to him.

Sergeant Henry Waller could be seen dancing with Melania, while Trump briefly partnered up with Sergeant Tatiana Saldana from the United States Space Force.

The Trumps were also joined by the vice-presidential couple, JD and Usha Vance, who also both shared a dance with members of the military, the Marine Corps and Navy respectively.

Waller has since opened up about the experience, which took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center earlier this week on Monday (20 January).

In an interview with Inside Edition, Waller recounted what took place during the occasion.

“I walked out on stage. I was trying to contain my composure, but we were told that it’s not like ceremonial composure. We can smile if you want to,” he began.

The sergeant continued: “I was just overwhelmed with joy being out on the stage where all these people are cheering for me.

When asked if the First Lady, who was smiling during the dance, said anything to him, Waller continued: “I asked her how her night was going. She said it was going good. She asked me how mine was.

“I said, ‘It was fantastic’.”

Waller was also asked if Melania was a ‘good dancer’, to which he responded: “Oh, yeah, she’s a really good dancer,” before noting that the ‘only rehearsing’ he did for the dance was ‘back home with [his] wife’.

During the ball, Melania opted for a strapless white floor-length gown with featured a geometric black trim and a small slit paired with white heels and a thick, black choker.

The garment in question was reportedly designed by Melania’s longtime style advisor, Hervé Pierre, who also made her first inaugural gown.

An, it didn’t take long for hawk-eyed viewers to make the comparison between the design on Melania’s dress and Trump’s sharpie signature following the executive orders signings.

One X user penned: “Does Melania’s dress bear a striking resemblance to Trump’s signature on all those EO’s today or is it just my imagination?”

“The first thing I thought of when I saw Melania’s dress was that it looked like Trump’s signature,” wrote a second, while a third echoed: “Melania’s dress – specifically the black ribbon reminds me of the Don’s signature swoosh. I wonder if that was part of the intent. Especially with his historic first day of EO’s.”

Another added: “Melania’s ‘scribble’ dress, reminds me of Trump’s signature.”

And a final X user declared: “Melania’s dress design was inspired by Trump’s sharpie signature. You can not convince me otherwise.”

“So glad I took the plunge and bought this after seeing it all over my TikTok ‘for you’ page!” one shopper wrote. “It has definitely saved me time and effort cleaning my brushes. I now don’t have an excuse for not doing it. And my skin already seams healthier and clearer.”

A third simply wrote, “Love this cleaner so much. A little goes a long way and it cleans make up brushes thoroughly, meaning my skin is kept clear and clean too. Thoroughly recommend.”

Is your makeup brush causing spots?

According to ISOCLEAN, no matter how much time, effort, and money you pour into your 10-step skincare routine – unsanitary makeup brushes can still compromise your complexion. That’s because dirty brushes accumulate pigments, liquids, oils, and dead skin cells over time which can reintroduce acne-causing germs to the skin with every makeup application.

Breakouts can be caused by lots of different factors, from lifestyle and hormones to genetics so it’s important to figure out what kind of acne you have first and if you’re unsure, it’s recommended that you speak to a GP or dermatologist.

If it’s hormonal, spots will like appear as whiteheads or cysts. Breakouts will usually follow a pattern, for instance becoming worse before menstruation, and will show up on tell-tale hormonal places such as the chin, jawline or lower face.

In comparison, bacterial acne can appear anywhere, but is likely found on the face, back, or chest and oily areas such as the forehead, cheeks, or nose. It tends to be sore, red, and more consistent.

ISOCLEAN

Cleaning your makeup brushes will help to reduce the chances of bacterial acne. According to recent research conducted by ISOCLEAN, makeup is the leading cause of acne in 65% of cases, due to the spread of bacteria.

“Makeup brushes may actually be contributing to your acne as your makeup brushes can accumulate excess oil, dirt and debris and can become a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus and more,” Dr Marisa Garshick MD FAAD explains. In fact, one study conducted by ISOCLEAN indicated that out of 12 makeup brushes tested, 11 were dirtier than your average toilet seat. Yikes.
