There were many surprises at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Perhaps one of the most shocking moments was Kanye West and Bianca Censori's red carpet appearance, which made headlines for the Australian architect's look. However, online users also commented on Donald Trump's ex, who attended the award show.
Marla Maples, who is Trump's second wife and mom to Tiffany Trump, walked the red carpet of the Grammys before entering the venue to watch the ceremony. She stepped out in a sleeveless, purple gown, featuring a short train.
She paired the look with closed-toed, black heels, and accessorized with a black clutch and matching purple earrings and a statement ring. Marla, who was previously married to Trump from 1993 to 1999, styled her blonde hair in loose waves and smiled for the cameras while on the red carpet.
