Melania Trump joined her husband in hosting a White House dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday. Earlier, Donald Trump welcomed the crown prince at the Oval Office, where their press conference turned tense after Trump attacked an ABC reporter for asking about the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, despite a U.S. intelligence report linking the killing to bin Salman.
That evening, the Trumps hosted a dinner attended by guests including Elon Musk and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. Melania drew attention in a strapless emerald-green Elie Saab gown, reportedly chosen to echo the Saudi flag. The $3,350 dress, along with green-themed décor and Saudi flags, was seen as a diplomatic nod. Social media users widely praised her look, calling her “stunning” and magazine-cover worthy.
