Melania Trump

I don't think it's that fantastic. Some yes, but the majority is pretty run-of-the-mill when you purely look at her style. I'm beginning to think even with bigger brands backing her she'd still look like this...

It's not necessarily my taste, but I think she has a knack for choosing appropriate pieces for each event while still looking a bit more fashion-forward than many politicians' wives. I just think that if Michelle Obama had worn some of these outfits, the press would have been raving.

 

[Rose n Toast]

Agreed, she looks fantastic but won't get the everlasting legacy compared to others. Love the Herve Pierre.

Aw poor Brigitte Macron, I think she needs to take a few style classes, in the picture where Melanie wears the red suit Brigitte looks strange in a minijupe. I love the red silhouette on Melania.

And SallyAlbright, it is absolutely true and there is no doubt that if the previous Frist Lady wore any of Melania's looks (I do mean, any),the press would have raved and exlploaded on how sublime she looked. The day Melania visited France, there was an article about Michele's style on a major website and nothing not a word about Melania's first visit to France as a First Lady.

Melania Trump Watches the Solar Eclipse in Jason Wu

Melania Trump chose a designer more associated with Michelle Obama’s wardrobe to watch today’s Solar Eclipse. The First Lady wore a pinstripe sheath dress by Jason Wu, a designer whom Michelle Obama relied on for both of her husband’s Inaugural Balls, as well as for a memorable appearance with Canadian First Lady Sophie Trudeau in October 2016. Trump’s own frock was a polished choice for today’s global event.

This latest look comes on the heels of Trump’s recent stay in New Jersey; she returned to Washington, D.C. late last night in a Delpozo number. The finishing touch? Today’s most popular accessory: a pair of solar eclipse sunglasses, which she put on over her flat-top shades.

Melania Trump’s Delpozo Midi Dress Is Already Sold Out

Melania Trump joined her husband and son yesterday evening departing from Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey for the trip back to the nation’s capital. Trump wore a midi-length Delpozo frock in a palette of white and yellow, that originally retailed for $2,300 and has since sold out. It's not the first time she has sported a dress by the Spanish label–she wore one earlier this summer while in Poland ahead of the G20 summit —the voluminous tulip-like silhouette and tricky-to-pull-off length was certainly new for the First Lady who tends towards a more conventional line in her wardrobe and has made the traditional sheath one of her signatures.

Melania Trump took a minimalist approach to accessorizing, with little more than a pair of flat-top tortoiseshell shades and taupe stilettos to finish the look.

I don't get the hype about the Delpozo dress. I think it's because the fit doesn't appeal to me.
Also, the pinstripe Wu fits nice, but the mismatched paneling makes it look cheap. It would've been better in solid black.

Agree about the Wu look ^

Melania Trump's J. Crew Shirt Is Already Sold Out

Melania Trump returned to the White House yesterday after spending the weekend in Camp David with her husband, son, and extended family. The First Lady sported a pink, gingham-check shirt from J. Crew, which originally retailed for $60 and has now sold out, with coordinating J. Brand trousers for the 45-minute flight. The ensemble is markedly more affordable than we've seen from the First Lady who has worn designer labels almost exclusively. Up until now, her travel wardrobe has relied upon extravagant, trophy pieces, most notably a crocodile Hermès Birkin bag, and Céline's Phantom Luggage bag.

Trump's latest fashion moment may have been inspired by her predecessor Michelle Obama, who was known for her price-conscious instincts, and wore accessible looks with stylish aplomb, both for important public appearances and in her downtime. Whether Trump will add to the small collection of affordable items currently in her closet remains to be seen.

Melania Trump Heads to Camp David in Missoni

Melania Trump is currently en route to Camp David with her husband, son, and extended family. Departing from the South Lawn earlier today, Trump sported a Missoni knit dress with a contrasting, lattice-like trim in aubergine, blush pink, and blue.

The choice of fabric and color were new for Trump who has relied upon traditional fit-and-flare dresses in simple, solid shades. Indeed in the last week, she has stepped outside of her fashion comfort zone not once but twice, and was seen departing from Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey wearing a striking midi-length Delpozo dress with a petal-like hem. With this latest look, she is clearly continuing to explore new territory. That said, her choice of shoes—sky-high stilettos by Manolo Blahnik in orange lizard—were a familiar choice.

Barron has to be the tallest 11-year-old I have ever seen! Melania is quite tall and he is nearly as tall as she is in heels.

 

[Benn98]

I really like the emerald Missoni dress, especially with those shoes. Great look for her.

The boy appears to be dressing way too old for his age. And the length of those white shorts? No. Go short or go home!

 

[lvstratus]

So many great looks. Love the Missoni dress and the fuschia look.
She looks fantastic in bold colors.

 

[TRCFashion]

Am I the only one who thinks Vogue is being unreasonable criticizing her heels as she took the plane to Houston? She was very obviously going to change on the plane!

Melania Trump Caves to Pressure, Swaps Her Stilettos for Stan Smiths

Melania Trump faced a storm of online criticism this morning when she departed for Texas to visit the victims of Hurricane Harvey in snakeskin stilettos that were clearly out of step with the occasion. By the time she had landed in Corpus Christi, the First Lady had changed into a more practical pair of Adidas Stan Smith sneakers, apparently caving to public pressure.

Trump also exchanged her all-black ensemble for a crisp white button-down shirt and tailored jeans. She chose to add a black hat with the word “FLOTUS” stamped across it, which resembled tour merch and felt like an odd addition given the serious nature of the visit.

Melania Trump’s Hurricane Stilettos, and the White House’s Continual Failure to Understand Optics

Oh, Melania.

In the words of the late, great Lou Reed, you “couldn’t hit it sideways.”

First the now–First Lady (perhaps unwittingly) plagiarizes Michelle Obama in her convention speech, then she takes as her platform a crusade against bullying—when she is married to unquestionably the greatest cyber bully in political history—and now this!

This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls’ luncheon at La Grenouille.

While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommend that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land.

A spokesperson says she has other shoes to change into on the plane—and one sincerely hopes there is a pair of leopard-print Wellies-in-waiting to get her from the tarmac to the limo. But what kind of message does a fly-in visit from a First Lady in sky-high stilettos send to those suffering the enormous hardship, the devastation of this natural disaster?

And why, oh why, can’t this administration get anything, even a pair of shoes, right?

Melania Trump Travels to Texas in Snakeskin Stilettos

Melania Trump joined her husband this morning, departing the White House for Texas to visit the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Typically, the First Lady’s travel wardrobe has featured tailored separates from brands like The Row and Valentino, but for today’s trip, Trump opted for storm-proof pieces with one notable exception: her sky-high stilettos. Trump is often seen wearing high heels from Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabbana, and Manolo Blahnik, but today’s look sparked immediate controversy on social media due to its seeming lack of practicality.

With them, Trump wore a ruched sleeve bomber jacket and head-to-toe black separates. A tailored T-shirt and cropped trousers felt casual and put even more focus on her snakeskin heels. It was a sharp contrast to the low-key outfit she wore on Sunday: an affordable J.Crew button-down and J.Brand jeans in complementary pink tones. Retro-inspired oversize aviators finished the look, a switch from her usual flat-top, tortoiseshell shades.

^She just killed me and gave me life all at once!
I mean, is she the coolest FLOTUS ever or what??

 

[Marc10]

Yeah, nothing cooler than the first lady visiting a city perishing in a tragedy looking like your regular fashion editor between NYFW shows...

 

[whitewine82]

I'm fan of Melania but, this is too much for me... Someone make her stop! Is not time to look gorgeous and cool. People will reminder this forever...

 

[la veronika]

Oh wow, all this hate....such a beautiful woman, always classy, always on point, of course the hate-machine (across various websites) has no day off.
Great looks Melania, both for getting on the plane and getting off. If M. O. Was wearing those heels, she would be praised across the web for her flawless style, wouldn't she?

 

[dodencebt]

Am I the only one who thinks Vogue is being unreasonable criticizing her heels as she took the plane to Houston? She was very obviously going to change on the plane!

I'm with you on that. And the "Melania caves to media pressure" headlines are silly because it's not like she changed into sneakers after Vogue posted about it. It's pretty reasonable that she brought a change of clothes and footwear, as she always seems to do when travelling.

On a side note, I remember there was uproar over Michelle Obama wearing expensive Lanvin sneakers while at a food bank a few years back. Vogue came in her defense, saying that it doesn't matter what she wore as long as she showed for those in need - which I actually agree with. So why are we doing this again?

 

[Benn98]

..... looking like your regular fashion editor between NYFW shows...

That is my gripe, in addition to the inappropriate choice of wardrobe which lack any form of sensibility. It's the detached attitude while still pretty focused on making sure they're getting good shots. She's just too out of touch for this role. She should just call it a day and go back to her tacky Trump tower and consume herself with getting as many false tans and basically doing nothing all day.

 

[gazebo]

I think people criticizing her Manolos are way more out of touch than they claim she is.
I mean why be so petty about footwear in this time of major crisis?
