Melania Trump Chooses Chanel Haute Couture for Her First State Dinner; Brigitte Macron Wears Custom Louis Vuitton

Melania Trump considered every detail of last night’s state dinner with her guests President Emmanuel and First Lady Brigitte Macron in mind. Clinton-era gold and white china set the tone for the occasion, while the menu was composed of traditionally American fare with French influences. This sensibility was reflected in Mrs. Trump’s ensemble for the evening: a Chanel Haute Couture dress, a modified version of a jumpsuit from the spring 2018 collection. Similarly Madame Macron made an impression in a custom Louis Vuitton dress in white and gold.

Trump’s silver dress wasn’t too far removed from the flapper-style Michael Kors dress she sported to the G20 summit last year; it carried the same look-at-me factor as the silver Dolce & Gabbana dress she donned in Taormina, Italy for the G7, too. For her part, Mrs. Macron looked radiant in Vuitton’s cream and gold dress. The gold and silver, lattice-patterned embellishments were akin to the intricate lace detailing of the stunning Vuitton dress she donned last month while hosting Luxembourg’s Grand Duke and Duchess at the Elysée Palace in Paris.
