Melinda French Gates grabbed everyone’s attention while donning an elegant strapless red dress during her recent trip to London.
She completed the chic look with a diamond necklace, matching bracelet and gorgeous wavy hair.
The entrepreneur shared a carousel featuring some of her favorite moments from her time overseas, during which she made appearances on TV shows and podcasts, visited the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, and got in some sightseeing too.
She captioned the post: “My recent trip to London gave me the chance to spend time with people taking risks and pursuing bold ideas on some of the issues I care most about, including women’s health.”
Melinda also had a full circle moment, revealing: “I also returned to the Queen Elizabeth Centre where, 14 years ago, I first spoke publicly about the profound difference it can make when women can decide for themselves if and when to have children. That fundamental right was on my mind at the @clooneyfoundation‘s Albie Awards, too, where we celebrated people who have shown extraordinary courage standing up for the rights of others.”
The trip revitalized the mogul, as she added: “I left London thinking about how much can change when people are willing to question what we’ve accepted for too long and imagine something better.”
Fans loved Melinda’s hopeful and positive post and flocked to the comments to support her. One person wrote: “Oh Melinda. This makes me so deeply happy. You are such a force for good in this world.”
A second fan added: “You are an International Treasure! Working hard always to elevate women and champion outstanding values & impact. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!” A third person continued: “Inspirational to say the least. A true heroine. Thank you.”
This isn’t the first time that Melinda has shared her motivational perspectives on social media.
On October 29, Melinda also visited Stanford for its Philanthropy Innovation Summit, and she reflected on her moving experience online, expressing: “Had a great time at @stanford meeting some inspiring new leaders in philanthropy.”
She concluded: “I’m optimistic that the next generation of women philanthropists will continue the extraordinary history of women giving with urgency, giving in community, and giving where the needs are greatest.”
