During a banquet for King Charles… Melania Trump violates protocol. Watch the video and what she did!

The appearance of American First Lady Melania Trump sparked widespread controversy, after she appeared in a pink dress during an official dinner held at the White House in honor of British King Charles III and Queen Camilla, amid criticism that some considered a violation of protocol.

The banquet took place on Tuesday evening, April 28, in the presence of US President Donald Trump and the British royal delegation, as part of one of the highest official occasions that usually imposes strict rules of dress, including the adoption of “white tie” as the basic standard.

During the ceremony, Melania caught attention with a look that was described as striking, as she wore a pink, sleeveless silk dress, which opened the door to discussion about its compatibility with the nature of high-profile diplomatic occasions, especially in light of the traditions adopted at royal banquets.

The customs followed on such occasions indicate the adoption of long evening dresses for women with a modest style that covers the shoulders, in addition to the preference for calm colors, especially white, which is one of the traditional colors for formal banquets inside royal palaces.

Although Melania’s previous appearances at official occasions were praised, her latest appearance sparked mixed reactions across social media, as some considered it inappropriate for the nature of the event, while others saw it as a bold choice that deviates from the traditional style.

Until now, there has been no official comment from the White House or the British side regarding the controversy raised, while the banquet activities within the state visit program continued as planned.
