Natalie Harp, longtime executive assistant to former President Donald Trump, was recently seen wearing a gold dress valued at $435 while boarding Marine One near the White House. The 35-year-old, who previously worked as a TV anchor, appeared in what is believed to be the Adeline Metallic Bouclé Sheath Dress by Cinq à Sept on September 18. She complemented the outfit with light beige heels and carried a large black bag, smiling as she entered the presidential helicopter.
The dress, currently discounted to $305 at Editorialist, features gilded buttons, a jewel neckline, front button-patch pockets, and fringe detailing along the edges. Made of 90% polyester and 10% metallic fibers, the sleeveless sheath has a concealed back zipper.
Despite the chic ensemble, social media reactions were mixed, with some critics comparing the dress unfavorably to a “print sofa” or a “fall sofa throw.” Comments also targeted Harp’s choice of shoes, with several users noting her frequent wear of tan pumps. Others made less flattering remarks about her appearance and accessories.
Harp, recognized as one of Trump’s closest and most trusted aides, has recently drawn increased attention after maintaining a low profile for some time. She reportedly manages key responsibilities including drafting posts for Truth Social.
In June, Harp’s estranged brother, Preston, publicly criticized her relationship with Trump, describing it as “very unhealthy” and calling the former president a “national embarrassment.” Meanwhile, Melania Trump’s senior advisor, Marc Beckman, defended Harp against media scrutiny, calling the coverage “ridiculous” and praising her as a hardworking and intelligent professional.
As the debate around Harp’s role and public image continues, she remains a significant figure within Trump’s inner circle.
