'Looks Like a Banana': Melania Trump's Yellow Dress Divides Social Media
Melania Trump's Jaw-Dropping Yellow Gown Sparks Outrage and Gasps of Amazement at UK State Banquet
In a daring move that has left social media users aghast, Melania Trump, 55, donned a bright yellow off-the-shoulder gown for the highly anticipated UK State Banquet hosted by King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle. The bold choice, which some have likened to wearing a banana, has sparked both ridicule and admiration from those who witnessed her arrival alongside her husband President Donald Trump.
As the First Lady made her way through the grand halls of Windsor Castle, she was met with a sea of cameras and reporters, all eager to catch a glimpse of her stunning – or should we say, not-so-stunning – ensemble. The chunky baby pink belt and emerald earrings she paired with the gown added a touch of drama to an otherwise attention-grabbing look.
However, it seems Melania's outfit has been met with more criticism than praise, with some calling it "ridiculous" and "hideous." One social media user simply posted: "Melania's dress - not impressed." Another chimed in, "What's going on? What's happening?" while a third exclaimed, "Omg, Melania's dress is hideous! She looks like a giant Easter egg or something in that canary yellow with the purple belt!"
But not everyone was as harsh in their assessment. Some defended Melania's choice, suggesting that she had pulled off the look with her signature elegance and poise. One commentator praised: "Only Melania could pull off a yellow dress and beige belt. I'd look like a banana with bandage wrap. Most beautiful FLOTUS in history." Another added, "I love Melania's dress. Elegant, flattering, chic..."
Meanwhile, King Charles III and Queen Camilla exuded regal elegance, with the monarch looking dashing in his dinner suit while the queen wore a stunning royal blue silk marocain embroidered gown by Fiona Clare. The Queen accessorized her outfit with a sapphire and diamond tiara from the royal collection.
President Trump, on the other hand, kept to tradition in a white tuxedo, while Prince William followed in his father's footsteps wearing a similar ensemble. His wife Kate Middleton stunned in a cream-colored gown with gold lace, which has been widely praised for its understated yet sophisticated elegance.
As the evening wore on, King Charles took to the stage to deliver a warm and witty speech, welcoming the Trumps to Windsor Castle and highlighting the "unparalleled partnership" between Britain and the US. He paid tribute to the two countries' shared history, saying: "This unique and important occasion reflects the enduring bond between our two great nations... Anchored by the deep friendship between our people, this relationship which, with good reason, we are our predecessors have long called 'special,' has made us safer and stronger through the generations."
The monarch's words were a poignant reminder of the strong ties that exist between the UK and the US, and it seems that Melania's bold fashion choice was not the only thing that generated excitement at the banquet. As one attendee quipped, "Who needs politics when you have glamour and elegance?"
