Garcia-Lopez has a long relationship with Trump, collaborating with her on multiple occasions. She wore one of his creations to Donald Trump’s first inauguration and for the 2016 presidential debates. The former television producer was also dressed by Garcia-Lopez for the 2025 New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, when she sang with Tom Petty on stage.
For the Liberty Inaugural Ball, Garcia-Lopez also designed for Donald Trump’s younger daughter Tiffany.

“I always like to ask my clients what they like and what they dislike about themselves. In the end, it’s a collaboration between the customer and the designer. But they always trust the designer – I love that,” Garcia-Lopez told WWD on Friday.
