There’s was a unifying theme for some of the women in Donald Trump’s circle on Sunday at a candlelit dinner held at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. — shining embellishments. Melania Trump shined in a black sequin Carolina Herrera skirt, which she coordinated with a Saint Laurent cape coat and Dolce & Gabbana blouse. The first lady had a brand in common with Lauren Sanchez, who dazzled in a Dolce & Gabbana dress that incorporated a sweetheart bodice done in a glittering finish. Another shining moment came from Ivanka Trump, who gleamed in a pearl-embellished Oscar de la Renta dress.
