Melania Trump pulled out all the stops for her first night in the UK. The First Lady, who is on an official visit with husband Donald Trump, donned a glamorous yellow chiffon cape dress to attend a gala dinner at Blenheim Palace.
The floor-length gown featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, with criss-cross chiffon detailing and a dramatic cape. Melania styled her hair into loose side-swept curls, adding smoky eye makeup and pink lipstick to complete the dazzling look. She held hands with her husband, who was dressed in a black tuxedo, as they exited the American Embassy and made their way to a waiting helicopter for the short trip to Oxfordshire.

The monarch regularly meets Presidents of the United States and their spouses at Windsor Castle, including Barack and Michelle Obama, George W. Bush and Laura Bush, and Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Speaking about his visit to the UK at a press conference at the White House on Tuesday, Donald said that he is expecting to have an "interesting time in the UK", adding: "So I have NATO, I have the UK – that's a situation with turmoil, and I have Putin. Frankly, Putin may be the easiest of them all, who would think? Who would think? But the UK certainly – they certainly have a lot of things going on."
