US Vogue February 2005 : Melania Knauss by Mario Testino

"Obviously, they're in love," says Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka. "I think they're going to be together forever."

How long does forever last these days?

DONALD TRUMP is not planning to stray far from the marital home after his wedding to Slovenian model Melania Knauss later this month. "I'm gonna show up, I'm gonna say 'I do' and I'm gonna be a very good husband for a change," he told Access Hollywood. The twice-married 58-year-old billionaire, whose current intended has revealed her $100,000 Dior wedding dress to the world on the cover of the February issue of US Vogue, has vowed that this is the last time he'll be going up the aisle. "[Dating] never goes over big with your wife," he went on. "I'll be a very good husband." (January 20 2005, AM)

Donald Trump: The Fragrance.

Is that for real!? BAHAHA.

 

[Fashion Puss]

I'm going to start a new thread about this, so hold tight! ...

Galliano's sketch in Vogue is very pretty...and different from the final product...

And she didn't like the runway "wedding" dress at first; she thought it would be hard to walk in. Here's the dress from the runway:

she's right, look at the poor model with the dress sliding off! That dress must weigh a ton, looks impractical...

 

[Meg]

The dress isn't sliding off it's made to look like it's not fully covering the models chest.

i think it's all very tacky too but I really don't blame melania. GIrl picked a bad dress but that's nothing to crucify her for, it doesn't reflect her inner character or anything. I'm more turned off by Trump than her. My goodness, all this publicity has really gone to his fat comeover head. The man really thinks he hung the moon or something, and all this publicity and showing off over his wedding just screams nouveau riche.

Well, I guess Donald Trump couldn't buy Melania taste.
The perfume and the dress looks awful.
Lucky girl though.
I'm disappointed in US Vogue more than ever.. thank god I cancelled my subscription..
I wouldn't exactly call this a good way to promote models on the cover of Vogue. There is one reason she is on Vogue US: She is Donald Trump's new bride. Not because she was ever a great model or that she is even that well known for being a model.

 

[Acid]

what exactly does she do besides being engaged to the donald?
im sure i read somewhere she is some high flying corporate woman??

i cant imagine her in the board room can you? all the men would be on their knees

OK, I am new hear but want to voice my opinion....I hate both the dress and the cover. They are both way to busy...there are too many competing and conflicting elements and not nearly enough color contrast on either the dress or the cover and why too much text on the cover.

What I am most confused about is why she dyed her hair to that aweful light yellowly blond color that does not compliant her skin tone at all. In the pics with her for lack of a better term oxblood colored hair she looks more natural and more attractive. I thnk the vail would also look better in her natural color as it would give contract to the vail and the wall behind her which now she blends into...I guess marrying Trump means dying your hair bleach blond.

I love the Vera Wang, dress. It is complex but comes off as simple and sexy but the hair is well, I have already gone on about that.

The cover now is just a diaster -- so cluttered that is almost impossible to read. The fonts are competing with the dress. The color offers not contrast and the lighting blends it all to one yellowish, creme color mess

 

[Love4Armani]

gaudy, and not typical. i don't understand it.

 

[Love4Armani]

oh, it's a runway show..

 

[oceanharlot]

the veil is too much... should have been a short, simple veil attatched to her hair, like seriously only a 6in by 12 in piece of fabric

would have been much much MUCH more dramatic.



the dress is phenomenal though. so incredibly .... awestucking...

 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

wow. that dress is incredible.

Lots of people seem to dislike the dress in that thread lol...it does look rather tacky on the Vogue cover...In the photo brian posted though, i just can't stop staring at it...it looks fantastic

 

[Golden_butterfly]
