Overview
- The US–UK state visit, which reached Day 2 on Tuesday, drew focus to the First Lady’s wide‑brim Eric Javits hat during the South Lawn welcome.
- Melania paired the sweeping raffia brim with an ivory Ralph Lauren skirt suit and Manolo heels, while Queen Camilla wore an off‑white dress and a tilt hat with the Cullinan V brooch.
- At the White House state dinner, Melania chose a pale pink strapless Christian Dior gown with white opera gloves, a look some viewers likened to Jackie Kennedy.
- Beyond fashion, Melania showcased a White House‑shaped beehive tied to her Fostering the Future Together program, served White House honey with dessert, and hosted students using VR headsets to explore UK landmarks.
- King Charles addressed a joint session of Congress and condemned the recent attempt on President Trump’s life, as the visit proceeds with tight security and follows Melania’s public denial of any link to Jeffrey Epstein.
