As of Tuesday evening, King Charles and Queen Camilla\u2019s official visit to the White House was well underway. The trip\u2019s itinerary began yesterday morning, when President Donald Trump and Melania Trump welcomed the royal pair<\/a> to the White House with a private tea ceremony and was followed by a historic address to Congress by King Charles. Both couples finished the day by gathering alongside Supreme Court justices, cabinet members, and other prominent figures\u2014 including Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, and his wife, Lauren Sanchez\u2014for an official State Dinner.<\/p>\n For the White Tie event, Melania chose to wear a powder pink Christian Dior Haute Couture gown, whose columnar silhouette was taken from Jonathan Anderson\u2019s debut couture collection for the French maison. The muted color palette was in line with the pale yellow Adam Lippes skirt suit she wore earlier that day.<\/p>\n Photo: Samir Hussein<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n While it is customary for the first lady to wear a brand originating from the country of the visiting dignitary, Melania eschewed tradition. She often oscillates between American and European designers regardless of occasion: Take the Dolce & Gabbana pantsuit<\/a> that she wore to this year\u2019s State of the Union. Delphine Arnault, Christian Dior\u2019s CEO, and her father, Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, were both in attendance at her husband\u2019s 2025 inauguration, and it is not the first time she has worn Christian Dior haute couture since. During the Trumps\u2019 visit to the UK last year, Melania wore a gray Christian Dior skirt suit before changing into a yellow Carolina Herrera gown, a flip on yesterday\u2019s American-into-European designer split.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n
