Melania Trump's Unfortunate Sartorial Blunders with the British Monarchy
In an event aimed at strengthening British-American relations, the state banquet at Windsor Castle on the evening of Wednesday, September 17, 2025, saw an unexpected twist in the fashion department. First Lady Melania Trump, accompanied by President Donald Trump, attended the event, which was hosted by King Charles III, aged 76.
Melania Trump made a bold fashion statement, donning a striking yellow dress, paired with a baby pink belt and large emerald green earrings. However, her choice of attire sparked a lively debate on social media. Some users praised her boldness, while others deemed it as "ridiculous" or compared her to a banana.
One social media user commented that Melania was the most beautiful FLOTUS ever, while another questioned why she dressed like a banana. Despite the criticism, there were also positive voices on social media, with some users praising her fashion choice.
Queen Camilla, wearing a royal blue silk dress by Fiona Clare and a sapphire and diamond diadem from the royal collection, and Princess Kate, in a cream dress with gold lace and the Lover's Knot Tiara, added an air of regal elegance to the event.
King Charles III delivered a warm speech at the state banquet, emphasizing the "remarkable bond" between Britain and America. The event undoubtedly marked a significant step in the ongoing relationship between the two nations.
The state banquet was attended by Melania Trump, aged 55, and her husband, President Donald Trump, aged 79. The evening at Windsor Castle was indeed a night to remember, with its blend of diplomacy, tradition, and a touch of fashion controversy.
