I keep seeing this but politely disagree with you all! I think a spring yellow is like a daffodil or a butter...lighter, more creamy, pale. This is saturated and reads as a late summer/early fall yellow to me.

Completely agree. This is no pale, spring, pastel yellow. It's a deep, vibrant yellow/gold and perfect for late summer/early fall.

Right. When I think of "spring yellow" I think of the yellow dress she actually wore to the last UK state dinner:



That's a spring yellow!


It is striking how much Trump has aged.

I think if you automatically assume a yellow dress = looking like a banana, you have pedestrian taste and no one needs to hear your thoughts on Carolina Herrera.

And I say this as someone who hates the Trump family and everything they stand for.

The lavender belt and bright green earrings are why it reads as spring. If she'd gone with a jewel tone purple in the belt or kept the green more muted, it would feel more like early fall. That lavender is really what is throwing people off. It also doesn't go with that goldenrod yellow at all. Yellow and purple are complementary colors but this saturated, vibrant yellow with the pale lavender just feels off to me.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-15108773/amp/melania-trump-yellow-dress-uk-state-dinner.html

Melania Trump's bright yellow dress has been branded 'ridiculous' by some unimpressed social media users, who also likened her outfit to a banana.

Accompanied by her husband, President Donald Trump, Melania stepped out in an off the shoulder number.

She accessorized the dress with a chunky baby pink belt and huge emerald earrings.

The look failed to land social media users though, who were quick to slate it online.

Taking to X one simply said: 'Melania's dress - not impressed.'

'Melania, what's going on? What's happening?' asked another.

'Omg,' a third posted. 'Melania's dress is hideous! She looks like a giant Easter egg or something in that canary yellow with the purple belt.'
A fourth continued: 'Why did Melania dress like a banana?'


Maybe she’s trying to be a banana because her husband is orange?

Agreed, and especially with the lavender belt and bright green earrings. Even though the Hamburglar hat is stupid, the color was really nice and perfect for late September.

Which is another problem -- there is zero relationship between any of her outfits. The floor length trench was weird but it was Burberry, so you think "okay we're going classic British fashion with a twist." But no, the next thing she wears is a Dior suit with an exaggerated waist and the Hamburglar hat, in funereal colors. Okaaaaay, at least the suit pretty classic, though not British? Dior always looks a little retro. So maybe we're going with an update on mid-20th century style, I could see that working for Melania -- AHAHAHAHA just kidding now she's wearing a banana yellow off-the-shoulder gown in an Easter palette. The colors say 80s, the designer is American, the accessorizing says "I'm blind."

I generally think of Melania has having a somewhat sophisticated taste in clothes but wth. Many the strain of this stupid administration is taking its toll on her mental health.

Agree on the suit. I kind of wish she had gone a more British route for the suit. Some examples of British suiting from Kate:


Erdem


Katherine Walker


Emilia Wickstead

I agree this dress is all wrong for this event, but somehow I don't hate it. I think this would actually be a fun look for spring or summer if it was knee length. And she looks good. Compared to the cheeto it's not a high bar, however.

Well, it’s career duicide for the stylist. But if she wants to make a mockery of the royal family, she nailed it!
Here’s a way to look fat, look disrespectful, look deranged- all at once. It must be a message.

I don't think Melania looks fat. She looks normal sized. She's a tall woman and is not naturally skinny.

She's also almost 60 years old. She's a former model who knows how to look good. I think at 57 Melania understands the adage "You can choose your ass or your face" and she chose her face.

I don’t like what’s going on with the underboob of this dress but I do like it better than the banana dress.

Is Melania throwing shade at the royal family by consistently wearing cowardly yellow to state banquets in her husband’s honor?

"Melania's hat is not by chance," said Marian Kwei, a celebrity stylist and Vogue contributor

"The hat with the wide brim that hides her face is pointing to a stance where she wants all eyes on her husband and his agenda while here," she added.


I maintain my analysis that to Melania clothes are armour: the crazy hats, the coats, the military style jackets, are all meant to create distance and send a message: don’t touch me.


I think there is something to this. I wonder if she just hates the public eye so much that she doesn't dress for it.

I think this is exactly it, similar to Usha. Neither of these women married a politician, and I think if you had asked them when they first met Donald and JD "hey, do you want to be a politician's wife?" they'd both be like fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no. Melania wanted to be a socialite, free to do the occasional jewelry line for QVC, and Usha wanted to be a lawyer in her own right.

So neither of them dress for the public eye. Melania dresses the way she likes, which is high fashion, sharp angles, edgy shit; Usha dresses the way she likes which is "frazzled mom on the go." They both refuse to give in and do the blond barrel curls with a pink dress look.
