But as she stepped out of the background to host her first state dinner, Melania Trump sought to sparkle in her moment in the spotlight. With the opulent affair, Mrs. Trump seemed to be aiming to make a statement, stressing her personal involvement in picking the menu and gold-trimmed table settings. On Wednesday, Trump praised the “spectacular job” he said his wife did on the event. Earlier Tuesday, Mrs. Trump wore a stylish belted suit with a broad-brimmed chapeau for her public appearances, including on a brief outing to the National Gallery of Art with Mrs. Macron to view an exhibit of works by French painter Paul Cezanne. ——State Dinner guest list: https://bit.ly/2vK8lkz——Follow Darlene Superville at http://www.twitter.com/dsuperville and Catherine Lucey at http://www.twitter.com/catherine–lucey
