Politics entirely aside... Theresa May looks fucking fabulous!

On BBC news channel now, giving Trump the pomptastic palace treatment. I hope I'll glam it up like that in my 60s.

So low cut Kardashian is the only way? Sorry, disagree. TM's dress is middle aged glamour for a politician with an imperfect middle aged diabetic body.

I don’t love it tbh OP. I don’t think the high neck sleeveless look suits many people, unless you are rail thin and have great posture. TM has really bad posture.

She is in excellent shape for her age of course. I just don’t think it’s a very nice look.

Is it awful of me think the grey hair adds to the unflattering picture?

OCSock · 12/07/2018 21:17

Imagine Merkel's outfit for the same occasion? We would not be talking about it!

MsJinglyJones · 12/07/2018 21:18

It's not awful, but I disagree. The red looks great with her hair and I think she suits the grey and works it to her advantage, in a senior stateswoman kind of way. I think people should feel free to dye their hair or not, whatever - but I like her hair.

I think Melania's dress is hideous. She really needs to ease up on the fillers/botox/whatever.

Melania - if you're reading this LTB!

OCSock · 12/07/2018 21:20

Of all your criticisms, the posture is the only one that strikes. She should do some Alexander technique classes. Terrifying, to men.

welshmist · 12/07/2018 21:22

I love the dress but do think she looks tired these days. The top job in the land does knock the stuffing out of you. Tony Blair, David Cameron, Obama, they all aged so much in office.

Still a Tory twat

It looks good in that photo as it’s taken from the side but frontways on I thought it was quite shapeless and did nothing for her figure. The colour is lovely - though not a Conservative colour, clearly.

ReevaDiva · 12/07/2018 21:33

Yes @OCSock there is literally nothing in between a high neck and being a Kardashian Hmm

OCSock · 12/07/2018 21:41

On older ladies, that section is often not the prettiest bit of skin, so there's a trade-off. If I were the designer, I'd probably have cut the front to clavicle length, and a bit of a drape.

OCSock · 12/07/2018 21:42

Who designed her dress?

eddiemairswife · 12/07/2018 21:50

Mrs Trump never looks relaxed. I know she is on show when in public, but I have never seen her smile or engage in any sort of conversation.

MrsJayy · 12/07/2018 21:54

Mrs trump never looks relaxed because she would rather be in hell than be first lady [

TravellingFleet · 12/07/2018 21:54

I think it’s a great message of power and ‘fuck off’ when you see it in context with all the beefeaters etc - it’s a very deliberate Royal British colour.

Not as funny as the scalped Boris hat though.

PickAChew · 12/07/2018 22:00

Melania will probably drag those silly sleeves through her gravy.

TSSDNCOP · 12/07/2018 22:03

TM looks terrific, the red against the soldiers uniforms looks very impactful.

Melania has missed the mark, which is unusual. She seems to radiate contempt whenever she’s in the same orbit as her husband.

How soon can she dump that wanker?

KateMcD451 · 12/07/2018 22:04

She really did look fabulous but then I do think she often dresses well (might be in the minority here Blush)

Ursaminor · 12/07/2018 22:08

Melania is channelling Belle, from Beauty and the Beast!

Plsbemyturn · 12/07/2018 22:09

Not many even much younger than her can show so much legs without any criticisms! Her legs are beautiful, any one can beat hers?

BaronessBlonde · 12/07/2018 22:14

She looks great...well played Mrs. May.

what a pity she undermined herself with allowing Trump to hold her hand assisting her up the steps.

brownmouse · 12/07/2018 22:15

TM looks amazing and very statesmanlike but also foxy.

Melania is Belle. Is Trump The Beast? STAY OUT OF THE WEST WING, MELANIA.

SwedishEdith · 12/07/2018 22:16

It doesn't fit properly on the bust and her posture is so awful it detracts from anything she wears. Good colour.

Scribblegirl · 12/07/2018 22:18

I can’t stand the tories but she looks amazing. I’m torn between wanting to look like her when I’m that age and finding her pretty attractive tbf Blush

I’m a 30 year old card carrying Lib Dem so I would be resolutely mocked for that IRL, thank you the anonymity of the internet Grin
