Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump experienced all the grandeur and ceremony during theirunmatched second state visit to the United Kingdom, and one style choice wasnot to everyone’s liking.
It was not the broad-brimmed, face-hiding purple hat that brought to mind the uncomfortable missed kiss at her husband's inauguration in January,because of Melania's Eric Javits hat.
The style decision / mistake that has been the topic of conversation is the dress worn by the First Lady at the opulent dinner hosted by the Royal Family at Windsor Castle yesterday.
Following the release of images from the dinner on the internet, the canary yellow off-the-shoulder dress paired with a purple belt became the subject of much discussion.
At first, there was some uncertainty regarding the colors involved. Indeed, 10 years after the famous "Is it blue and black or white and gold?"dress, several people highlighted an optical illusion formed by Melania's dress and belt combination, designed by Carolina Herrera.
Lively when viewed from certain perspectives; subdued from others. A gentle lavender belt for some individuals; a soft baby pink belt for others.
In the end, it was all about overexposure caused by flash photography, so that was the conclusion. Nevertheless, critics on social media weren't finished discussing the dress by Herrera, who has a background in dressing U.S. First Ladies – including Jacqueline Onassis and Michelle Obama.
Some people remarked that Melania was unaware of how to dress for a royal dinner, with the outfit being too informal and unsuitable given her exposed shoulders, while others called it "unattractive" and "strange."
A Twitter user commented, "I'm not a fan of Melania's dress. It's an unusual misstep for her. Not flattering and the yellow color is too bright." Even supporters of the First Lady were not impressed with the attire, as one person shared: "I like Melania, but this dress looks terrible on her and is too casual for a state dinner."
Here are some additional responses to the controversial dress:
At least one person discovered something positive:
Every Herrera comes with a positive aspect.
