WASHINGTON, DC — First lady Melania Trump put a bow on this historic state dinner.
Melania stunned in a white bow blouse and sleek black tuxedo-inspired pants as she and President Trump hosted Thursday night’s lavish White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The stylish peony-motif brocade Dolce & Gabbana pants, bow-adorned Saint Laurent cotton poplin blouse, black silk Dolce & Gabbana cummerbund and sky-high black Christian Louboutin heels she wore to welcome Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan — took the internet by storm.
The first lady’s simple outfit had a more complex message — and it wasn’t that she’s the one who wears pants in the White House.
In choosing pants with a subtle peony pattern, Melania Trump was paying tribute to the “King of Flowers,” as the peony is known in Chinese culture. It symbolizes wealth, nobility, prosperity and romantic beauty.
The Chinese consider the peony the embodiment of feminine charm and perfection.

She is such a class act, an excellent first lady.
Perfection comes to mind. An exquisite First Lady like Melania will never pass this way again...Enjoy the moment.
(Besides, the chinese eat dogs and flood our markets with cheap merchandise, so why get dressed up for them).
She’s a well known model. She cuts the fashion edge. She looked great. The outfit was fabulous. Usha, Jeanette and Peng all looked nice. Melania rocked.
That giant bow is clownish and unsightly.
That woman would look fantastic in tight jeans and a tight T-shirt!!! Hubba!!
FReepers mincing around and commenting on ladies’ fashion like a buncha Kansas City faggots…

Who'd a ever thought somebody could connect the White House State Dinner to Blazing Saddles!?
Years ago, my wife discovered that, if she wore one of my old flannel shirts, she never seemed to spill so much as a crumb on herself - it’s only the good stuff that gets messed up.
Well ... of the two outfits I like Melania’s better altho not really one of her best. Madame Ping’s dress reminds me of one of my mom’s house coats.
She's had a pretty good run. But, perfection??

Who gives a shit what First Ladies wear. This is just as silly as articles about what Jill Biden was wearing. Anyone who cares about this/thinks it’s important is a simpleton
The purpose of a tie is not to protect your shirt from stains? Who knew...?

Yes...Without qualification...Pure class.
She could stun in a burlap sack.
On another note, I’m struck by how effeminate XI looks. His wife looks downright hard core.
I’m with you. And another plus of retirement is that I no longer need to wear matching socks.
His jacket should be buttoned. He's also a bit slouched over. Likely from trying to lean in a bit. He's got the pocket square though. Vance missed that, as did Trump. If wearing a jacket, it isn't hard to throw in a pocket square.
Vance's jacket sleeves seem a bit short, while Rubio's are a bit long.
All in all, pretty well done though.
Learned the facts of a sheath dress in reading news reports on conservative fashion. It’s been said the Fox standard is sheath dresses (an Ailes favourite).
Butt hurt over perceived insult to Xi Jinping?
We know where you’re coming from, comrade.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!
FLOTUS rocks this beautiful outfit.
Maybe it’s Bobby Jo.
You never know.
So what?
