All eyes on Melania Trump at Steve Mnuchin’s version of a royal wedding


All eyes were on First Lady Melania Trump as she left the White House to attend one of the big social events of the Washington D.C. season Saturday: the lavish wedding of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to Scottish-born actress Louis Linton.

America doesn't have royalty, so we can't pull off a Pippa Middleton extravaganza. But our constitutional aversion to monarchy didn't stop President Donald Trump, his wife Melania and others associated with his White House from putting in a good effort at playing America's ruling class at the event at the historic Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington D.C.

Vice President Mike Pence presided over the ceremony, while other White House guests included Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, HUD Secretary Ben Carson and even Sean Spicer. The 300 guests also included Wall Street elite.

Melania Trump was in a blush-pink chiffon gown by designer Gilles Mendel, while the bride definitely went the royal route with a white lace princess gown and diamond tiara, Vanity Fair The groom wore coattails, and Ivanka Trump also appeared in a blush-pink dress.

Bagpipers and ballerinas were among the evening's entertainment, and some guests were bused from the Trump International Hotel prior to the ceremony, CNN and Vanity Fair reported.

The marriage is Mnuchin's third and Linton's second. The multi-millionaire Mnuchin, 54, worked at Goldman Sachs and as a film producer prior to joining the Trump administration. As an actress, Linton, 36, appeared in the TV show "Cold Case" and the 2016 movie "Cabin Fever." They met at a wedding reception in Los Angeles in 2013 and have been engaged since 2015.
