On Monday evening President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended a state banquet at Buckingham Palace hosted by the Queen.

Several senior members of the royal family attended, including the Princes Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but the Windsor family were outnumbered by the Trumps, with all four of the president's adult children also in attendance.

Donald Trump Jr, 41 and youngest child, Tiffany Trump, 25, were joined by Ivanka Trump, 37, and her husband, Jared Kushner, as well as 35-year-old Eric Trump and his pregnant wife.

First Lady Melania Trump opted for a white gown which matched that of the Queen, Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge's ruffled Alexander McQueen dress.

The dress was from Christian Dior's spring/summer 2019 haute couture collection and had been custom made for the occasion. The choice of Dior was a fitting choice, as Melania also wore the French designer when she first met the Queen on the couple's first state visit last July.

Ivanka Trump wore a light blue trench gown with floral embroidery by Carolina Herrera, an American designer who is a favourite with the Trumps.

The dress with a shirt collar and tie-sleeve is currently available to purchase for £9,233.

Tiffany Trump in Suzie Turner

Youngest daughter Tiffany Trump went for a custom made couture gown by independent British designer Suzie Turner.

The dress was made from red silk organza and heavily adorned with Swarovski crystals and individual Swarovski embellished buds, as well as hand crafted feathered flowers.

The creation was made in London, a diplomatic touch by the youngest Trump.

Lara Trump in Monique Lhuillier

Eric Trump's wife, Lara Trump, who is currently pregnant with the couple's second child wore a strapless white floral gown by American brand Monique Lhuillier.

The 36-year-old accessorised the look with elbow-length white gloves, as did Tiffany Trump, to give their ensembles a more regal feel.
