American first lady Melania Trump hosted a ‘Recovery at Work: Celebrating Connections’ roundtable at the White House on Thursday to discuss drug addiction and recovery.

Melania Trump wore a polka dot dress by Gabriela Hearst. The elegant silk shirtdress style is a signature of the designer and retailed for $1990.

It might be said that Melania Trump was also channeling Kate Middleton in her choice of attire. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a similar frock by British designer Emilia Wickstead in July when she took part in a BBC television show about education.
