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.

Melania is indeed a good looking woman.
Now put her side by side with Big Mike or Hitlery and there is no contest whatsoever. This scenario she’d be a beauty contest winner. Xi’s wife is much more appealing to the eye than Big Mike or Hitlery.
How was Usha to know that Melania would look so bad?? Usha ROCKED it! Melania COULD have ROCKED it.........what was she thinking? Arer they having marital problems?
“ As a retired old guy that has worn various uniforms over my working life, I don’t have to worry about being neat all the time anymore. That’s why I wear a lot of Hawaiian shirts.”
👍. Since my retirement, it’s cargo shorts and dark colored tees. The few white or light colored tees I have seldom get past a meal unscathed.
He wears lift shoes. He is not that tall.
So what?
LOL! Skip the soup.
I’d have problems too. “the shelf”

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.
I agree
this outfit does not appeal to me at any level
Yes... Usha gave birth to their 4th child, Alec, on Jul 19.
My wife would agree with you…..
She always looks pretty, but this outfit is not pretty. It is weird. She seems to only show up in black and white anymore.
Might have been better as a long dress and much smaller bow.
Mrs Vance looked FANTASTIC!

Trump is a huge man... how can that chinese guy be nearly as tall as him?
I agree on her outfit. I said when I first saw it that she looks like someone toilet-papered her.
Agree
