When President Donald Trump arrived in the UK on September 16, 2025, for an unprecedented second state visit hosted by King Charles III, the local press, including the controversial British journalist Piers Morgan, noted First Lady Melania Trump’s incredible beauty and timeless elegance, drawing comparisons to Jackie Kennedy.
Specifically, Melania wore a yellow dress to an official dinner with King Charles and his wife, which went viral. Most commentators were blown away by her bold choices and effortless elegance, which set her apart from other first ladies and even the other ladies who made their way on camera during the visit.
Reacting to Melania’s stunning outfit, many users took to social media. One viral post read, “America’s Royalty 👑Melania is absolutely stunningly gorgeous. Poise, grace, and compassion.Everything the Left hate because they’ll never genuinely have it. We’re so very fortunate to have her representing us in England. So proud!”
Offering an expert insight, one social media account dedicated to tracking the First Lady’s fashion noted, “First Lady Melania Trump STUNS at the State Banquet dinner tonight in the United Kingdom. She is wearing an off the shoulder yellow column gown by Carolina Herrera, lilac belt, and Manolo Blahnik heels. 💛🩷 #FashionoftheFirstLady”
However, some users in the comments felt divided by the yellow dress. “I usually love love love whatever Melania is wearing, but not today. The color, cut and the belt of the gown was a complete miss. (And from my favorite designer!) The earrings were fantastic, but didn’t go with the gown at all. Yesterday’s maxi trench was bad and the dark Zelinsky style suit and face hiding hat she wore on the helicopter was worse. Who is styling her these days?” one woman asked.
However, other users reacted differently, and the response remained overwhelming positive. Another response on that front read, “My absolute favorite designer! Carolina Herrera. 🙌First Lady Melania Trump is certainly a vision in this rich yellow classic straight lines gown. 10 out of 10. 💛Eat your heart out @voguemagazine”
Even left-wing figures, such as infamous journalist Piers Morgan, were taken aback by Melania’s elegance. Reacting to her appearance at a royal parade, he noted, “If there’s one thing that everyone is wearing…my verdict on what they’re all wearing…I’ve got to say, I mean, look, I do think the first lady looks as she always does, I have to say, utterly immaculate and radiant.”

Later in the same trip, King Charles described the deep bond between the US and UK, saying. “For my part, I have always admired the ingenuity of the American people, and the principles of freedom which your great democracy has represented since its inception. Throughout my life, from my very first visit to the United States in 1970 and over 20 visits since that time, I have cherished the close ties between the British and American peoples.”
Echoing these comments, President Donald Trump used his typical wit to win over the crowd. He stated, “The bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. We’re joined by history and faith, by love and language and by transcendent ties of culture, tradition, ancestry and destiny.”
