Melania Trump and Peng Liyuan steal show at White House state dinner for Xi Jinping
At a White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, First Lady Melania Trump and China's Peng Liyuan captured attention with their fashion choices, while tech leaders like Elon Musk joined the guest list. Melania wore a white Saint Laurent blouse, black Dolce & Gabbana silk sash, and black brocade pants featuring a peony pattern, a flower symbolizing wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture. Peng wore a red gown, a color representing good fortune, and the two women appeared cordial during a museum visit. Over 100 guests attended, including Apple's Tim Cook, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and OpenAI's Sam Altman, alongside Supreme Court justices and Trump family members. Notably, no Chinese companies were present due to U.S. sanctions on several major firms.
