I think the dress Melania is wearing is perfect for this holiday event. It flowed gracefully and she didn't have to concern herself with adjusting a form-fitted outfit each time she sat and got up from the tables she visited (the point of the event).
The kids certainly "got" what she was wearing. They're the ones who said she "looks like an angel". ^-^
I expect at the Christmas in Washington celebration to be held at the Kennedy Center we'll see something quite different.
