A political action committee or “super PAC” for former President Donald Trump, paid the former first lady’s stylist a total of $108,000 in the first six months of 2023, according to filings released by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

His expertise is utilized for special projects and events,” a spokesperson for the fashion designer explained in August of last year when news of large payments to the stylist first broke.However, some critics have been quick to point out Melania’s absence from the public eye amid her husband’s ongoing legal troubles, even as the former president continues his campaign for the US 2024 presidential election.The filings also show that the PAC has spent about $40 million on the former president’s legal fees during the first half of the year, which will undoubtedly continue to rise, with news breaking on Tuesday of Trump's third indictment.

01:31 GMT 02.08.2023 (Updated: 01:33 GMT 02.08.2023) Hervé Pierre Braillard, the designer who was paid by super PAC Save America $108,000 as a “consultant” for Melania Trump, has also designed inaugural ball gowns for Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama.
A political action committee or “super PAC” for former President Donald Trump, paid the former first lady’s stylist a total of $108,000 in the first six months of 2023, according to filings released by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The figure brings the total dollar amount given to stylist Hervé Pierre Braillard by the super PAC to more than $260,000 since the start of 2022. Incidentally, the massive payment to Pierre was marked down as “strategy consulting.”
“Mr. Pierre is a world-renowned artist. His work extends to many different fields, not just fashion design. His expertise is utilized for special projects and events,” a spokesperson for the fashion designer explained in August of last year when news of large payments to the stylist first broke. “As with every other first lady, there is an after-the-White House life, which involves many other aspects than fashion. I am lucky to have worked in prestigious houses, to have designed [costumes] for ballets and more recently to work in home decor. There are many upcoming projects in this after-the-White House [stage],” the stylist added.
However, some critics have been quick to point out Melania’s absence from the public eye amid her husband’s ongoing legal troubles, even as the former president continues his campaign for the US 2024 presidential election.
“Weird that a dude can make $18k monthly to style a woman making virtually no public appearances,” Ellen Carmichael, the president of PR firm The Lafayette Company, wrote.
The filings also show that the PAC has spent about $40 million on the former president’s legal fees during the first half of the year, which will undoubtedly continue to rise, with news breaking on Tuesday of Trump's third indictment.
