Melania Trump bares her shoulders in a daring yellow gown at lavish banquet during state visit to the UK

Melania Trump opted for a daring off the shoulder yellow gown for a state dinner hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

The First Lady, 55, accessorized her risque look with a chunky baby pink belt.

She joined her husband, President Donald Trump and the royal couple for the lavish celebrations held at Windsor Castle as part of their state visit.

Earlier in the day, Melania looked effortlessly chic in a Christian Dior Haute Couture dark gray skirt suit that flared out at the waist and fell just below her knees.

She complimented her ensemble with an extraordinarily large wide-brimmed purple wool hat – also by Dior – which for the most part, kept her eyes hidden.

Body language expert Judi James claimed to Royale that Melania’s striking hat gives a clear signal that she ‘desires to hide’.

She said: ‘I’m fascinated to work out why Melania is wearing a similar shaped hat to the one she wore to the inauguration, which forms the shape of a large lid that completely hides her face.

‘For a woman known for her beauty this shape of hat suggests a desire to hide.

‘Royal women will tend to adore the flying saucer style too but will always wear the hat at an acute angle to ensure their faces are totally on display.

‘Melania’s body language so far suggests a more assertive and confident approach to this royal visit than the last one but she also seems to be keen to project a more mysterious aura here on the arrival, as though she is there to support and even help choreograph her husband rather than being the star herself.’

Fans of the royals will know that purple has long been associated with royalty and power, and it seems that Melania opted to wear such an accessory to honor them.

Besides her large hat and her skirt suit, Melania – who did not remove her hat after heading indoors – wore her blonde tresses in a slick bun that was largely hidden.

She was expertly poised in her heels as she walked alongside her husband, Prince William and Princess Kate in the Walled Garden on the Windsor estate.

Earlier today, Trump was invited by the King to walk in front of him during the ceremonial welcome.

The US president seemed delighted at the pagantary and even shared a joke and a hearty laugh with the monarch.

Before the state dinner, Trump also laid a wreath at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II in St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

The US president’s first state visit to the UK in 2019 was with the late Queen.
