During a state banquet held in their honor by the King, all attention was on Melania Trump’s choice of attire. Melania wore a striking canary yellow off-the-shoulder dress by Caroline Herrera, complemented with nude pumps, emerald earrings, and a controversial pink or purple belt that sparked debate online.
The color of Melania’s belt became a hot topic, with conflicting opinions on whether it was pink or purple. Some observers saw it as a baby pink or nude shade, while others perceived it as a bold lilac. This difference in perception led to a social media frenzy as individuals tried to decipher the true color of the belt.
Online users expressed varying views on the belt color, with some associating it with cancer awareness due to its pink hue. Others believed the purple tone symbolized prosperity, divine authority, and royal blessings when combined with green and gold elements.
Despite the color controversy, some individuals appreciated the unique blend of colors in Melania’s outfit. The outfit’s off-the-shoulder design and vibrant color received mixed reviews online, with celebrity stylist Marian Kwei describing it as unexpected for a state banquet but also daring.
In contrast, Queen Camilla wore a stunning cobalt blue Fiona Clare gown paired with a sapphire tiara commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II in 1963. The tiara, made from an antique sapphire and diamond necklace, added regal elegance to Camilla’s ensemble for the event.
Furthermore, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, chose a cream lace couture gown by Phillipa Lepley and a pearl tiara with a sentimental connection to Princess Diana. The tiara, a favorite of Princess Diana’s, had been loaned to her for her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981.
