Melania Trump’s dress draws Beauty and the Beast comparison

MELANIA Trump’s fashion choice for a black-tie dinner has divided the internet, with some drawing a Disney comparison.

MELANIA Trump has been turning heads with her latest fashion choice at the black-tie dinner hosted by Prime Minister Theresa May at Blenheim Palace Thursday evening, marking Donald Trump’s first official visit to Britain.

Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and her husband Philip May greet U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Blenheim Palace.

While President Trump sported a more traditional black tuxedo, FLOTUS stood out with a pale yellow chiffon gown from French label J. Mendel. The off-shoulder dress featured a wrapped bodice, floor-length pleats and a billowing cape that gave her a dramatic, yet delicate look.

Melania’s dress featured a cape detail.

Melania paired the ensemble with minimal jewellery and sky-high stiletto heels in a matching pastel colour.

The $US6990 ($9441) dress has been so admired that it sold out on J. Mendel’s website — though the price was dropped to $US2996 ($4046), USA Today reported.

First lady Melania Trump showed off her dress on the steps to the palace.

After Melania debuted the gown, several took to Twitter to gush about the outfit, even comparing the first lady to a Disney princess.

While the dress seemed to be a big hit with most, some were not as complimentary of the buttery yellow frock.

Sorry but as pretty as it is Melania's yellow dress is WAAY too formal for a dinner dress. Looks like she's going to a royal wedding or a presidential prom. #melaniasdress

Melania's dress looks ridiculous and old fashioned.
