Melania Trump ‘criticized’ over outfit at state banquet

However, stylist Liz Teich, interviewed by the Daily Mail, notes that the outfit appears differently in the photos due to lighting and image editing. According to the stylist, the actual color of the dress is mustard yellow. The belt, on the other hand, is actually lilac.

The discussion on social media became even more heated when the royal court published an official photo of the royal couple and the presidential couple at the dinner. In the photo shared on the royal court’s Instagram account, the colors of Melania’s outfit appear to be what the stylist confirmed them to be in reality.

The choice of outfit divided opinion, and commentators did not mince their words when discussing it.

“What on earth is Melania wearing…,” one person wrote, whose comment has garnered thousands of likes.

“That dress goes perfectly with her husband’s jaundice,” another joked.
