Taking over the Kennedy Center (or as referred to on the invite, the Trump-Kennedy Center), the event will see the First Lady joined by director Brett Ratner and producers Fernando Sulichin and Marc Beckman. Melania is also a producer on the film, which tracks 20 days in her life from Trump’s 2025 presidential campaign to Inauguration Day.
Listed as expected VIP guests at the premiere include Donald Trump Jr., musician AR Rahman, Jordan Belfort (the real-life basis for The Wolf of Wall Street), producer Arthur Sarkissian, former New York City mayor Eric Adams, Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil and reality stars Todd, Julie, Savannah and Chase Chrisley.
Fox News hosts Maria Bartiromo and Bret Baier are expected to attend, along with a number of “influencers”: rapper Waka Flocka Flame, content creators including social media magician Pete Anthony Sciarrino III (AKA PAS Magic) and several former NFL players and UFC fighters.
The guest list also features many members of the Trump administration, with Second Lady Usha Vance, chief of staff Susie Wiles, attorney general Pam Bondi, secretary of war Pete Hegseth, secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem, secretary of state Marco Rubio, secretary of health and human services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., FBI director Kash Patel and border czar Tom Homan among the expected officials.
Saturday’s screening — which took place as a major snowstorm hit much of the United States and Minneapolis erupted in violence after the ICE shooting of protestor Alex Pretti — also drew a crowd as Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon Studios chief Mike Hopkins, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, self-help guru Tony Robbins and Mike Tyson were in attendance at the White House.
Melania opens nationwide in more than 1,500 theaters across the US this weekend.
