Melania \u2014 who wore a yellow Carolina Herrera dress while visiting Buckingham Palace last year \u2014 went with a pale-pink strapless gown by Christian Dior haute couture this time around, which she paired with matching silk shoes and off-white suede gloves, both also by Dior. According to White House pool reports, the color of the dress and shoes was \u201cpale delphinium pink,\u201d apparently a reference to King Charles III\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhs.org.uk\/about-us\/our-people\/the-royal-family\/royal-familys-favourite-flowers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">favorite flower<\/a>. Sure!<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmok86cya00153b7cf6m1m5z5@published\" data-word-count=\"112\">The shade of pink, as pale as it was, was still a more colorful choice than Melania\u2019s usual palette of beige and black and white. (Maybe she likes to bring out the bold hues for Camilla, whose dress on Tuesday night was magenta.) However, the dress did seem oddly familiar \u2014 it bore a striking resemblance to a different Republican gown that made headlines this week, which was worn by Pete Hegseth\u2019s wife, Jennifer Rauchet, to the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner over the weekend. That one was widely believed to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/article\/is-pete-hegseths-wife-wearing-temu-white-house-correspondents-dinner.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">come from Temu<\/a>, which I guess makes Melania\u2019s look like an upgrade.
