Melania Trump

She looked ridiculous when visiting the Pope.

They were talking about her fashion choices on Dutch tv today. Not a word about the fact hardly any designer wants to dress her, apart from the D&G losers.

What's with all the belts? It's absolutely hideous.

Throwback to the worst looks of 2006.

 

[Hchloe]

She looks like a rich tacky housewife...which is exactly what she is.

Good for the designers who refuse to dress her and f*ck D&G.

What's with all the belts? It's absolutely hideous. That, as well as the black widow getup she wore with dramatic headscarf. Mourning her freedom, perhaps?

Like I saw in one meme, dress for the job you want (Widow)

The last look is nice, I guess.

^After D&G's views on IVF, should we be surprised?

Some more looks. To be honest, I think she wears some great pieces - she doesn't dress too dissimilar to Carla Bruni - but it is hard to get past the surgery. Ick.

What is up with all those belts?

I don't see anything impressive about her style. She's your typical bland Trophy Wife, and it shows in how she dresses. The only memorable thing she's worn the past 6 months is the black lace outfit to visit the Pope.

Bless the designers who are refusing to dress her, whether for personal or political reasons though. (And let's stop comparing her to Jackie Kennedy. Jackie preferred Givenchy and Chanel, but still managed to wear mostly American designers during the White House years -- so far it appears Melania is not wearing much American fashion -- and Jackie managed to revolutionize how American women dressed despite having political restraints on her wardrobe sensibilities.)

Putting politics aside, I think she's been dressing beautifully. Some of the belts are unnecessary, but overall she's looked beautiful and elegant. I think if she was married to anyone else people would be absolutely raving about her style.

Just as a side note, the black veil was for her visit to the Vatican where they asked her to cover her hair.

Loved all her looks - classy and elegant choices. Thank you for posting on our First Lady.

Agree with everything you said

 

[lvstratus]

Loving her style so far. I think she is a very elegant, classic and chic lady.
The DG floral jacket is something else

Actually it's not mandatory anymore, certainly not with the current Pope. And even if it was she could have chosen another veil that doesn't look like an old ladies' table cloth that randomly ended up on her head.

A series of excellent posts!

In all fairness, if we look at the veils that many famous women have worn to the Vatican throughout history (Laura Bush, Lady Di, Princess Grace of Monaco) we can conclude that they all wore a version of that same black lace veil. So let's not pretend that Melania went down an extraordinary route with that veil because she didn't. Whether she should have worn a veil at all is a different debate.

Style wise, she is nouveau riche and it shows. Her outfits, while mostly "classy", carry that feeling of an Eastern European woman that married rich. Important elements of her style are dated - hair and makeup especially - and that significantly brings down whatever modern garment she might sometimes wear.

I have a slight problem with her and Dolce & Gabbana though. She wore the brand almost exclusively in Italy and Sicily and therefore looked like a walking billboard, changing in and out of at least five straight off the runway outfits. It almost looks like she benefits financially from this.

So true! Much like an impostor. You always get the impression that she's styled, purely by the way she moves around her clothes. And yes, re the updating of her look! I'd start with the raccoon eyes, which really must go!

Personally I don't care about this because the entire arrangement is very clear-cut imo. They are the only somewhat high profile ones who would dress her, it's better than enduring the shame of buying off the rack (because no one will collaborate with you!). To be associated with D&G though, . Not only are they always in hot water for spewing crap, but they also lag way behind in terms of creativity. Not good for her image.

Melania Trump Wears Monique Lhuillier for Ford’s Theatre Gala

Last night in Washington, D.C., Melania Trump attended the Ford Theatre’s annual gala with her husband. The First Lady eschewed her wardrobe of sharply tailored coat dresses and suits for a softer silhouette from Monique Lhuillier. Fresh from the brand’s new Resort collection, the Champagne-colored dress was Grecian in feeling with subtle pleat work and demure draping.

It was a quite departure from the vibrant hues that Trump has been wearing lately; she donned a cornflower yellow Christian Dior to meet the Australian prime minister and a raspberry pink frock on her tour of Saudi Arabia. Trump kept the neutral theme through the accessories with coordinating Manolo Blahnik stilettos.

A bracelet, necklace, pouch, anything...just to make it look more like an outfit and less like a fancy nightdress.

I like a lot her look at the Gala. Simple, yet chic and classic.

Melania Trump Wears Michael Kors to Meet Panama's President and First Lady

After spending the weekend at Camp David in shirt dresses and denim, Melania Trump returned to more tailored pieces back in Washington, D.C., choosing a Michael Kors Collection sheath dress to greet Panama’s President and First Lady. To mark the occasion, Trump donned a familiar powder blue shade, recalling the custom Ralph Lauren jacket and dress combo she wore to this year’s Inauguration, but with a slightly more fashion-forward feel.

The Kors dress was also spotted on Cindy Crawford last week in Italy, and where the ’90s supermodel punctuated her look with a silver belt, Trump went austere. She eschewed a jacket and let Christian Louboutin floral patterned stilettos take the focus.

Melania Trump Returns from Camp David Wearing Céline

Melania Trump returned to the White House yesterday afternoon from her first weekend at Camp David. The First Lady departed for the summer home on Friday in a Gabriela Hearst shirtdress, a shift from the strongly tailored ensembles from Altuzarra, Michael Kors, and The Row she's worn. Trump’s travel wardrobe tends to stick with neutral tones and feminine silhouettes, including the Bally culottes she chose to move into the White House and Hervé Pierre’s leather pencil skirt from her first international trip.

Sticking with olive and white, Trump wore a slouchy button-down shirt and skinny jeans with Manolo Blahnik’s python sandals and Céline’s Luggage Phantom bag for high fashion accessories. Topping off the look were mirrored aviators and Trump’s diamond ring.

First Lady Melania Trump Heads to Camp David in Gabriela Hearst

It’s officially summer and for the President, that means weekends away at Camp David, located just outside of Washington D.C. in Maryland. Joining him on his first outing to the rustic retreat today was Melania Trump, who was dressed casually for the occasion. The First Lady has favored a softly tailored silhouette and comfortable shoes with her off-duty style in the past. She slipped on candy apple-red flats by Christian Louboutin with a tonally coordinated dress to receive foreign leaders in Palm Beach earlier this year, for instance, following up with a similar outfit on an outing to the Morikami Museum with the Akie Abe, the Japanese Prime Minister's wife, on the same trip. Today's ensemble, a shirt dress by Gabriela Hearst, was yet another example.

The eyelet-trimmed dress featured a fit and flare silhouette that was secured with a wide leather belt by Michael Kors, a waist-cinching look that is beginning to become a Trump signature. She wore another pair of her simple skimmer shoes, this time in brown, and her familiar square-edged sunglasses.

Melania Trump Moves Into the White House in Dolce & Gabbana and Bally

After many months, Melania Trump is finally moving to Washington, D.C. Arriving with her husband, parents, and son Barron, Trump appeared in a Dolce & Gabbana tailored top, Bally trousers, an Hermès Birkin, and python Manolo Blahnik stilettos.

The ensemble took cues from the Max Mara and Hervé Pierre top and skirt combo the First Lady wore to depart for her first international trip. Trump’s simple and sleeveless white shell acted as a foil for her culottes, which had exposed seams much like the Pierre leather skirt. Trump chose a tonally coordinated Birkin bag and Blahnik stilettos to accompany the look, along with her diamond ring and oversize shades.

I was about to say the blue dress is 'nice', indeed it fits nice on her, until I saw the buttons. What a way to ruin a look. Of course it had to be Kors.

Also, love how Vogue is saying she's wearing Céline, when it's just a handbag. Shame.
