First lady Melania Trump opted for a canary yellow gown to attend a state dinner hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla with her husband, US President Donald Trump, as part of his second UK state visit.
On the evening of the first full day of the visit, the first lady wore an off-the-shoulder gown by American brand Carolina Herrera, paired with drop diamond earrings.
The long-sleeved column-style dress features a straight neckline, which runs shoulder to shoulder. It is cinched with a lilac belt and finished with a high side slit. Her husband wore a classic white tie.
Queen Camilla, meanwhile, wore a long-sleeve, V-necked, silk embroidered dress in royal blue by Fiona Clare, with a sapphire and diamond tiara, and the King's Family Order.
King Charles arrived in full regalia of tails, medals and a sash to match his wife's choice.
Earlier in the day, the First Lady arrived at Windsor Castle wearing a chic haute couture skirt suit by the French house of Dior. The tailored ensemble was topped with a wide-brimmed purple hat and finished with black pumps.
Stylish yet sombre, the suit was perfectly in tune with the day’s solemn itinerary, which included laying a wreath at the tomb of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Is the purple hat – and Trump's matching purple tie – a nod to bipartisanship at a fractured time in US politics? In the recent past, the colour has been seen as a unifying gesture, but its face-concealing silhouette could also be the reason Melania picked it out.
The couple were greeted as they disembarked from a helicopter at Windsor Castle by Prince William and his wife Kate,who escorted them to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla.
To welcome the Trumps, the Princess of Wales wore a fitted maroon dress by one of her favoured designers, Emilia Wickstead, paired with a Jane Taylor hat. Prince William wore a dark coat and tie that complemented his wife’s look.
As is typical, the first lady wore her hat pulled low, obscuring much of her face. It is a style she has long favoured, most notably at her husband’s inauguration in January, when her boater by American milliner Eric Javits sat so low it concealed the top half of her face.
On Wednesday, her couture hat once again masked her eyes. Seated beside Queen Camilla in a state coach, Melania looked hidden in comparison to the Queen, whose Philip Treacy hat, paired with a sapphire blue Fiona Clare coat, framed her face rather than concealing it.
To arrive in the UK on Tuesday, the first lady paid sartorial tribute to her hosts in a floor-length trench coat by quintessential British brand Burberry.

liverpool youngsters
Ki-Jana Hoever
The only one of this squad to have scored for Liverpool, the versatile Dutchman impressed on his debut at Wolves in January. He can play right-back, centre-back or in midfield.
Herbie Kane
Not the most prominent H Kane in English football but a 21-year-old Bristolian who had a fine season on loan at Doncaster last year. He is an all-action midfielder.
Luis Longstaff
Signed from Newcastle but no relation to United’s brothers Sean and Matty, Luis is a winger. An England Under-16 international, he helped Liverpool win the FA Youth Cup last season.
Yasser Larouci
An 18-year-old Algerian-born winger who can also play as a left-back, Larouci did well on Liverpool’s pre-season tour until an awful tackle by a Sevilla player injured him.
Adam Lewis
Steven Gerrard is a fan of his fellow Scouser, who has been on Liverpool’s books since he was in the Under-6s, Lewis was a midfielder, but has been converted into a left-back.
