Melania Trump's 'bold' yellow gown

For the UK State Banquet, Melania Trump wore a bold off-the-shoulder canary yellow gown. She paired it with a chunky baby pink belt and huge emerald earrings.

However, her husband, President Trump, kept it very formal with traditions in a white tuxedo.

Social media has branded Melania Trump's choice of a canary yellow gown for the banquet as a 'ridiculous' one. Netizens bashed her“informal” dress for the Royal dinner and even likened it to a banana and an easter egg.

“Melania, what's going on? What's happening?” a surprised user asked.

“Omg,” was another very common reaction the Internet had to her dress.

“Melania's dress is hideous! She looks like a giant Easter egg or something in that canary yellow with the purple belt,” said a user.

“Why did Melania dress like a banana?” another added.

“Melania looks ridiculous,” exclaimed a user.

Some netizens were kinder to Melania, who is known for her head-turning fashion, but noted that although the dres was actually very nice, it just was not the right fit for the evening.

“I actually love Melania's dress, but it feels really simple for a state dinner, no?” one netizen said.

Echoing a similar sentiment, another said:“I love Melania, but this dress is hideous on her and inappropriately casual for a state dinner.”

“The yellow dress is far too informal for a Royal dinner. Who is dressing this lady?!” added an unimpressed netizen.

“Only Melania could pull off a yellow dress and beige belt. I'd look like a banana with a bandage wrap. Most beautiful FLOTUS in history,” a user praised.

“I love Melania's dress. Elegant, flattering, chic...” said another user.
