Melania Trump wore a bold off-shoulder Carolina Herrera yellow gown with a pink belt at the UK State Banquet. She joined President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle for a dinner hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla. However, the 55-year-old’s fashion choice created a stir on social media, with many expressing dislike for it, especially the bright colour.

While most people were not happy with the choice of the dress, especially the bright hue, a few wrote that the first lady looked stunning.

An individual declared, “I'm sorry, but I hate Melania's yellow dress.” Another remarked, “It’s so weird. I'm just saying.”

A third posted, “I'm not crazy about the dress. I don't think it's a good look. I think green would have been better!” A fourth quipped, “That dress is horrendous. Sorry, I‘ve never seen Melania in a poor fashion choice, but this is it.” A fifth wrote, “Has Melania become color blind? Yellow dress, pink beige belt, emerald earrings?”

“Her choice of bold punctuation of clashing color palette states clearly Trump's modus operandi that he will continue to do things his own way,” Marian Kwei, a celebrity stylist who is also a Vogue contributor, told the BBC.

Kwei also spoke about Malenia’s dress when she arrived in the UK, especially her impossibly low and wide-brimmed hat that almost covered her eyes.

“The hat with the wide brim that hides her face is pointing to a stance where she wants all eyes on her husband and his agenda, while here,” the stylist said, adding that the headgear’s purple colour, which matched the president’s tie, was a “nod to her support for her husband's agenda during this state visit.”
