After a day filled with tension and fissures in the powerful NATO military alliance, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump gabbed with their counterparts at a cocktail party with a jazz band.
The pair arrived at a cocktail party with fellow world leaders and spouses at Cinquantenaire, a park designed in the 19th century.
The first lady wore a $7,450 Elie Saab white patterned dress, changing out of a navy blue dress by Belgian designer Raf Simmons for Calvin Klein.

“And probably did it in German...”
I was wondering if German is one of the five or six languages Melania speaks. They appeared to be carrying on a normal conversation.
She speaks Serbian, French, English and German fluently as well as Slovene.
In the video of the conferrees at table palavering with one another, seated just beyond Trump on his right sat former Texas U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison; IMHO a linguini spine. WHAT is SHE doing there?
On June 29, 2017, Hutchison was nominated by President Donald Trump to be the next United States Permanent Representative to NATO.[3] She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a voice vote on August 3, 2017.
Well, shut my mouth. Far be it from me to second guess the POTUS. Maybe working for him will result in her finding some backbone, and some grit to go with it.
How did a former (well, maybe...) Communist politician from the DDR become chancellor of the unified Germany?
She is so gracious, charming, and beautiful. I do wonder how she walks in those spike heels, though... and still keeps smiling!
Looks like Merkel is fine with Trump in the last picture.
What a FIRST LADY! We are truly blessed.
Oh yuck, well I guess it’s OK as long as she disinfects herself once she gets home. I despise Merkel.
She’s gorgeous and that dress is beautiful but it doesn’t flatter her. But it’s impossible for her not to look all out glamorous, no matter what she’s wearing.
Thank you for posting. I love Brigitte Macron also. Her and Melania look like they have a sweet bond going. :)
Melania speaks Serbian too? I didn’t know that...but you forgot Italian I think. :)
If she speaks Serbian, I know it is her native language, then she can get by in Russian, I know I do.
Shes gorgeous and that dress is beautiful but it doesnt flatter her.

It may not be as alluring a dress as others, but it’s very original and shows her fashion unpredictability.
And Italian.
