See pictures of Trump’s New Year's Eve galas at Mar-a-Lago

Even before Trump was elected president, the party was a highlight of the Palm Beach, Florida social season. High-profile guests in previous years have included Tiger Woods, Martha Stewart, Serena Williams, Rod Stewart, Regis Philbin, Steve Wynn and Sylvester Stallone. Many members of Trump's sprawling family also usually attend.

But since Trump has been in office, the galas have become a red carpet event of their own, gaining national attention, and the president often stops to take questions on his way in with first lady Melania Trump.

Take a look back at photos from the 2025 New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago as well as some previous galas:
