Melania Trump Wears Dior Couture for Royal State Dinner
For the White House State Dinner honoring King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Melania Trump wore a powder pink Christian Dior Haute Couture gown from Jonathan Anderson's debut couture collection. The event followed a private tea ceremony and the King's address to Congress. Melania's choice broke tradition, as first ladies typically wear a brand from the visiting dignitary's country. She had previously worn Dior during the Trumps' UK visit and a Dolce & Gabbana pantsuit to the State of the Union. Delphine Arnault, Dior CEO, and Bernard Arnault, LVMH CEO, attended the 2025 inauguration. The dinner included Supreme Court justices, cabinet members, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, and Lauren Sanchez.
