Melania, 47, wore a dramatic, long Gucci dress reminiscent of traditional Chinese clothing as she and her husband arrived for a state dinner hosted by President Xi Jinping
Hope, 29, donned a simple bright pink garment underneath a plain black jacket with rolled-up sleeves; she kept out of the spotlight and was only photographed from the waist up
The first lady previously wore a Dolce & Gabbana dress, earlier in the day during a visit in a primary school with her Chinese counterpart, Peng Liyuan
Melania and Hope are traveling with President Trump during his 12-day trip around Asia; they are currently in China after a start in Japan and South Korea, and will also visit Vietnam and the Philippines
The White House communications director has given Melania a run for her money in the style department, beginning on Monday when she may have upstaged the first lady by wearing a unique tuxedo at a banquet in Japan
On Wednesday, Hope once again looked notably chic in a grey turtleneck sweater as she listened to President Trump's address at the National Assembly in Seoul

LET flotus shine???
I doubt there is any LETTING by anyone, when it comes to Melania shinning.
“FLOTUS Melania wears it MUCH better!”
also true...by far.
Love both of those dresses. China has a very stylish First Lady also.
Pretty much what I was thinking.
Hope Hicks has looked like perfection during the Trump trip to Asia, to the point people thought she upstaged Melania. But In China, FLOTUS shined! Why Did Hope tone it down?
During the Trump administration’s two-day tour of South Korea, PR director Hope Hicks, 29, has been slaying the fashion game. She’s rolled out perfect outfit after outfit for the official trip, including an adorable tuxedo for an event, and a cute, ruffled sweater paired with a black skirt for a meeting. But as President Donald Trump and his team arrived in China, her wardrobe adopted a decidedly different look. For a state dinner in Beijing with the Chinese president and first lady, Hope was wearing a simple, fuchsia dress with a modest neckline, and a black blazer. While she looked totally cute, it was nothing special. It’s left people wondering if she was ordered to dress more casually to let First Lady Melania Trump, 47, take the spotlight!
This is where Melania got to shine! The FLOTUS is a total fashion plate, and knocks it out of the park no matter what she’s wearing. But people thought that Hope’s adorable getups were upstaging Melania. Not anymore. As Hope dressed down, Melania dressed up! At the state dinner, as she walked alongside China’s First Lady Peng Liyuan, she was spotted wearing the most gorgeous Gucci dress. The ornate satin dress was cut in a traditional Chinese style, and decorated with embroidered flowers and peacocks. It also featured baby pink fur cuffs (hopefully faux). Paired with matching baby pink, 5-inch stilettos, she looked like a dream. Hey, if this is Melania’s body double, she looks great, too!
HollywoodLifers, do you think there was a reason that Hope wore a more casual dress to the Beijing State Dinner, or was this just her choice of outfit for the event? http://hollywoodlife.com/2017/11/09/hope-hicks-melania-trump-style-china-state-dinner/
They are writing their own soap opera. For instance, Hope is lovely, but why is her name even in their headline? Pure drama.
So in one day in their narrative, Hope has gone from upstaging Melania to dowdy.
They have packed these outfits weeks ago! The media doesn't even think of this hogwash when they are printing it
What a jewel. She looks a little tired and stressed though.
I never heard of sleeve cuffs...but the lighter pink ones did look better IMO.
I don’t like some of Melania’s clothing choices but these Asian trip dresses look good on her.
Hope’s gray dress looks unfinished, like when pieces are pinned together inside out to then be sewn and turned proper side out. Her tux looks ridiculous on her too. She is a nice looking woman but needs help with clothing and pulling her look together. She may still learn.
Yeas she does. Wow she looked gorgeous. Xi’s wife looked really great too.
Reading between the lines, I think they are setting the stage for ANY lame excuse to pair Hope with Trump or Jared in a salacious way, or create headlines about Hope vs Melania/Ivanka cat fights, no matter how imaginary. Count on it.
Yes I am. After backing up and retyping i give up. Any way to fix it?
That happens to me too!!
I agree, they are up to no good shenanigans.
Hope must know by now that the spotlight is on her. Smart move to divert attention away from the fashion and back on the job at hand...
the next MSM diversion move is to throw Hope in the middle of the Corey Lewandowski divorce, bank on it. Shes a big girl she can handle it...
Hope looks sexy, like a Bond Girl....
I want to see her in a papersack......
