Melania Trump turned heads at Windsor Castle in a bright, off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera gown. Photos of the First Lady standing beside President Trump, King Charles, and Queen Camilla quickly went viral — but fans debated whether her dress was vibrant yellow or soft buttercream.

Fashion insiders confirmed the gown was buttercream yellow with an “Easter purple” belt. “Photographers play with saturation, which can make colors look bolder,” stylist Liz Teich explained. She added, “Yellow is a symbol of optimism — perhaps she wanted something cheerful for this visit.”

Not everyone loved the look. “There are too many touch-points here,” celebrity stylist Samantha Brown said. “The pink belt and emerald earrings distract from her overall presence.” Others called the dress too summery for the season.

Despite mixed reviews, many praised Melania’s bold style. “Melania looks beautiful in yellow,” one fan posted. The Trumps’ state visit included a wreath-laying at Queen Elizabeth II’s tomb and a ceremonial welcome with King Charles.

Was Melania’s gown a fashion triumph or a royal misstep?
