Melania Trumplit up Windsor Castle in a statement gown that commanded attention from the moment she arrived. Choosing a striking canary yellow design, she stepped away from the muted palettes and classic jewel tones so often favoured for state banquets.
The off-the-shoulder silhouette, with its clean neckline and fitted bodice, was both modern and unapologetically glamorous, balanced by a wide lilac belt that added a bold contrast. It was a daring choice – not only for its vibrant colour seen in the setting of a royal banquet, but also for its sleek, contemporary cut that placed her firmly in the realm of high-fashion dressing.
Against the gilded backdrop of the castle, the look radiated confidence and individuality, marking one of the evening’s most memorable fashion moments of the year.
The 55-year-old makeup kept polished yet understated, the overall effect was both elegant and commanding.
Melania’s presence added a touch of contemporary American style to the royal formality of the state banquet, as she accompanied her husband President Trump.
