President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended a state banquet at Buckingham Palace on Monday evening, hosted by the Queen. The event saw senior royals including Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in attendance, but the Windsor family were outnumbered by the Trumps, with all four of the president's adult children present.
Melania Trump wore a custom white gown from Christian Dior's spring/summer 2019 haute couture collection, a fitting choice as she also wore Dior when she first met the Queen last July. Her dress matched the white ensembles of the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a ruffled Alexander McQueen dress.
Ivanka Trump stunned in a light blue trench gown with floral embroidery by Carolina Herrera, an American designer favoured by the Trumps. The dress, featuring a shirt collar and tie-sleeve, is currently available for £9,233. Tiffany Trump opted for a custom couture gown by independent British designer Suzie Turner, made from red silk organza and adorned with Swarovski crystals and hand-crafted feathered flowers. The London-made creation was a diplomatic touch by the youngest Trump.
Lara Trump, Eric Trump's wife who is pregnant with their second child, wore a strapless white floral gown by American brand Monique Lhuillier. Both she and Tiffany Trump accessorised with elbow-length white gloves to give their ensembles a more regal feel.
