Alright, folks, let’s get right to it. Ever since that historic day when Donald Trump was sworn in as president last year, the world has been buzzing with one big question: What exactly did Melania Trump give Michelle Obama? If you were watching, you’ll remember that Melania handed Michelle a striking blue Tiffany & Co. box during the ceremony, but the contents remained a mystery—until now. And guess what? Michelle Obama has finally opened up about it in a candid conversation with Ellen DeGeneres.
Ellen DeGeneres Gets the Scoop on the Inauguration Gift
Now, picture this: The former First Lady, Michelle Obama, sitting down with the always-charming Ellen DeGeneres on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." As the audience waits with bated breath, Ellen asks the question on everyone’s mind. With a warm smile, Michelle reveals, “It was a lovely frame.” Can you imagine? A beautiful frame, perfect for capturing those cherished memories of her time in the White House. Hopefully, she placed a photo of herself with Barack, Malia, and Sasha inside—it would be the perfect keepsake.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to January 2017. That’s right, the day Melania awkwardly handed Michelle the gift upon her even more awkward arrival with Donald. Michelle explained to Ellen, “There’s all this protocol. It’s like a state visit, and they tell you exactly what to do. But never before had we received a gift. I was kind of like, ‘Okay, what now?’”
The Awkward Moment Michelle Had to Handle
Michelle continued to describe the situation with her signature humor and grace. “I was standing there, holding this box, thinking, ‘What am I supposed to do with this gift?’ Everyone had cleared out, and no one came to take the box. It was quite a moment. I was wondering if we should take the picture with it or not.” Thankfully, her husband, Barack, came to the rescue. “He grabbed the box and took it back inside. But everyone had cleared out. No staff, no one. I was just like, ‘What do you do with the box?’” It’s hilarious to hear what was going through Michelle’s mind during that moment, isn’t it?
Tradition and Protocol: A Look Back
Despite the awkwardness, Michelle and Barack greeting Melania and Donald that day was entirely normal. When Barack was sworn into office back in January 2009, former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, hosted them (and Joe Biden and his wife) for tea in the Blue Room at the White House. Interestingly, there’s footage showing Michelle giving Laura a gift, similar to what Melania did for her. Laura even posed with the gift in a photo after their encounter. One can only wonder how Laura felt during that moment, given the similarities in the situations.
