Social media critics have called Melania Trump's outfit for tonight's state visit banquet at Windsor Castle hideous and too casual. The First Lady turned up this evening in a yellow dress, which had a pink belt across it. The frock lies below her shoulders, with the outfit complete with blue earrings. @MeDee0222 said: "Melania Trump dress[es] like she does not want to be seen with Donald Trump." @JulesinNV said: "So disappointed with Melania's dress. I thought she would have worn something much more glamorous."

@jerseyish posted: "Melania sure doesn't know how to dress for a royal dinner Princess Catherine and the Queen are totally upstaging FLOTUS in her 'spring' off the shoulder frock." @YIVAN_AL_GAIB wrote: "Why does Melania dress like a monster villain from an A24 film" @BeesyCee said: "Boring dress on Melania. Way too casual and the colour." @KTRoberts said: "I love Melania, but this dress is hideous on her and inappropriately casual for a state dinner."

The Queen was wearing a royal blue silk marocain embroidered dress by Fiona Clare, and a sapphire and diamond tiara, and the King's Family Order.

The Princess of Wales glittered in a couture gown by British designer Phillipa Lepley with a full-length, hand-embroidered champagne gold Chantilly lace evening coat over a silk crepe gown at the state banquet.

The coat features hand-embroidered roses with couched gold cording, accented with French knots and satin-stitched blooms, demonstrating her commitment to supporting British craftsmanship and creativity.

Her earrings belonged to the late Queen, and the princess opted for her go-to tiara, the Lover's Knot Tiara.

Kate was also wearing the Royal Family Order of King Charles III, Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II, Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order and GCVO Star and Sash.

The Prince of Wales is wearing a white tie and a Windsor tail coat, and the Most Noble Order of the Garter Sash with the Lesser George.

He was also wearing his miniature medals - Order of the Bath and the Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee and Coronation medal - as well as Chest Orders of the Order of the Garter and Order of the Thistle and the Neck Order of the Order of the Bath.
