During a notable visit to the United Kingdom, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended a state banquet that quickly became the talk of the town, not only in Britain but globally. Much of the spotlight was on Melania’s outfit choice.
The Trumps arrived in the UK on Tuesday, with an agenda that included meeting with King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton on Wednesday morning. This high-profile state visit naturally sparked a lot of conversations, but it was the evening event at Windsor Castle that truly turned heads.
At the grand state banquet hosted by none other than King Charles, Melania’s appearance was a focus. She wore an eye-catching yellow dress accented by a large pink belt. However, her choice of colors led to a lively online debate with varying views on whether her dress was bright, light, or butter-yellow and whether the belt was pink or purple.
Mixed Reactions Over Melania’s Fashion Choice
The colors stirred media interest with stylist Liz Teich explaining in detail about how photographs might alter the perception of colors, which contributed to the spirited discussions online. She clarified that the dress was mustard yellow, matched with a lilac belt.
The argument saw an increase in social media engagement when an official photograph of the royal family with the Trumps was posted on the royal Instagram account. The royal-conducted event confirmed the stylist’s description about Melania’s outfit.
This choice didn’t sit well with everyone, turning the online commentary into a debate platform.
“What on earth is Melania wearing…,” commented a user whose words went viral, receiving thousands of reactions.
Another humorously remarked, “That dress goes perfectly with her husband’s jaundice.”
Understanding Fashion Etiquette
Another voiced, “That belt is just… no. Isn’t it against proper etiquette to have bare shoulders at such an event?”, drawing attention to Melania’s shoulder-baring attire.
Someone else questioned, “Bare shoulders at a state dinner??? Didn’t anyone give them instructions? And that color…” stirring further opinionated posts.
Adding another layer to the colorful discourse, some believed that the outfit choices made by Queen Camilla and Melania Trump were more than just fashion statements. Queen Camilla graced the event in a beautiful long blue dress.
