Melania Trump wore a black-and-white ensemble to Donald Trump’s state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife.
Melania has previously been trolled for “terrible” and “tone-deaf” fashion decisions, and even suspected of “sending a message” with her clothes. The grand state dinner, where the two world leaders discussed the ongoing US-China tariff truce and AI regulation, among other things, was also attended by prominent tech and business titans, including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Sam Altman, and Jensen Huang.greeted the Chinese First Couple in a $2,300 white cotton poplin button-up blouse by Saint Laurent, with an oversized bow detail near the neckline.
She paired it with a $1,945 high-waisted brocade pants with embossed peony motifs and a $1,345 silk cummerbund, both by Dolce and Gabbana. Her shoes were Christian Louboutin’s black So Kate pumps.
“No class and no regard for any form of protocol,” one person said. Another joked, “She’s gift-wrapped for somebody and it ain’t Trump. ”What Melania wore to the state dinner. My own thoughts: D&G silk pants and a St. Laurent pussy-bow blouse with 3/4 sleeves, and Louboutins?
This isn’t an effort. This is not what one wears to a state dinner. It’s what you wear to divorce court.
“First Lady or not… You cannot show up to an official state dinner wearing pants. Unbelievable,” said a third. A fourth said, “You can’t buy taste. ”“On the other hand, Madame Peng looked absolutely perfect in every single video and picture,” a sixth user compared Melania’s look with that of the“She has to wear it.
The hat is the only thing that stops Donald from being able to kiss her,” one person joked at the time.
“Why is Melania standing there like a fashionable grim reaper? ” another jibed.
“Does Melania have to look like she’s going to the beach? Did she bring a towel and sunscreen too? ” one user quipped at her. Another said, “She literally looked like a Teletubby.
”More recently, she wore another pant-and-shirt attire at the annual National Governors Dinner and Reception, held at the White House on February 21, 2026.
“Did she get dressed thinking she was going to a girls’ lunch with some old school friends? ” one tweeted about the look. Flashback to the 2017 G7 Summit! Melania Trump wore a stunning Dolce & Gabbana floral coat with matching clutch.
The flower covered First Lady stole the show in Italy as she met with her peers. 🌷🌸Given that Melania adhered to traditional dressing etiquette and even impressed fashion critics far more during Trump’s first presidential term, many also speculated whether she was sending some sort of message with the pantsuits, either to her husband or to his critics. Back in 2018, the FLOTUS wore the infamous “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?
” jacket while visiting migrant children separated from their parents, triggering Many thought at the time that it was also a statement, but her spokesperson clarified that there was “no hidden message. ”“I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear,” she later told the media during a visit to Egypt the same year.
“She’s not doing what people expect. She’s not wearing safe, dull, traditional First Lady fashion. What she’s doing may not necessarily be modern, but it is strategic,” Kennedy added.
“She’s showing that she’s on a completely different playing field and follows her own rules. She’s not interested in dressing for any role. ”to it. And to me, there is no strategy.
She’s a clothes horse; she likes clothes. When she likes a dress, she likes a dress. It doesn’t matter where it comes from. ”By entering your email and clicking Subscribe, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.

As much as I loathe the idea of even vaguely appearing to partially agree with Melania on anything, the repeated criticism that her outfit was not black-tie-appropriate purely because she wore pants really bothers me. In 2026, I don't find it reasonable to limit anyone's choice of clothing type based purely upon their s*x or gender.
Whether or not the specific outfit/pants she chose were adequate for formal attire is a separate question, and one I do not feel qualified to address. But to insist that she should have been in a gown because she is a woman, at an event where male attendees of course wear pants, that I find problematic. If she had worn a tuxedo that certainly should have been fine to anyone who believes in gender equality.
