I thought it was beautiful. But even if I could afford it at 5'2" and round it wouldn't look so lovely on me!

ShaunaTheSheep · 21/01/2021 10:22

On her, striking.
On me, grandma's vintage curtains

TheUnquestionedAnswer · 21/01/2021 10:24

Yeah, it looks much better on the footage of her getting off the plane, than it does on the website. I'd like it in a shorter version. I'm not a keen follower of fashion but I know what I like.

I loved the shoes but couldn’t see anything that said were they’re from.

quick google for you Smile
On her feet, Melania opted for more comfortable footwear, sporting a pair of navy flats from Roger Vivier. Called the Gommettine Ball Leather Point-Toe Flats, the shoes are designed with the brand’s signature buckle with a pointed toe. The look comes with a $625 price tag at SaksFifthAvenue.com.

I saw it referred to as a traditional Slovenian divorce dress Grin

LizzieMacQueen · 21/01/2021 10:33

I loved all the women's outfits.

But was there a briefing that prints were NOT ALLOWED

All were wearing single colours. It must have been a policy.

SoupDragon · 21/01/2021 10:34

That dress is hideous!

Still, it's a good job we don't all love the same things 😂

ElspethFlashman · 21/01/2021 10:36

There's never been prints at these things, dunno why. Maybe people just want to play it safe.

Its always freezing too and prints + thick wool coats tends to look a bit too big.

Oh thank you! I couldn’t find anything yesterday. Smile

I loved the Gucci dress too - I'm a Sucker for a kaftan.

Sadly the closest I'll ever get to a kaftan is those fleece blankets with a hood attached that you wear slobbing in front of the telly.

ihatethecold · 21/01/2021 10:41

It’s was like she can finally wear her comfy clothes. The equivalent of us lot in our joggers on a daily basis.

StCharlotte · 21/01/2021 10:57

I almost recoiled when she got off the plane. It was shapeless and looked bloody awful on her and she has an amazing figure. Imagine what it would look like on us mere humans...

I kind of liked what it stood for though. She was very smiley yesterday!

(Slovenian divorce dress made me laugh!)

ScribblingPixie · 21/01/2021 11:03

I loved it! Like she was going to walk straight off the plane into a Miami beachfront restaurant. I am going to miss seeing her outfits - maybe the Mail Online will oblige me with a few.

Oh god this is so me Grin

Bosomy, apple shaped shortarse, this would not suit me one bit!

banivani · 21/01/2021 12:19

I have to say that from a fashion standpoint she always dresses well. Very interesting clothes, like! Interesting about the "no prints" at the inauguration! For all the cold and big coats it's apparently not done to have warm feet, I noticed. I've said it before on the royal style threads - I think it looks quite silly with massive wool coats and itty bitty stiletto pumps and 20 dernier tights. Feck right off with that nonsense. I'm cold just looking at it!

cyclingmad · 21/01/2021 12:20

I've always liked quite alot of what she wears and Ivanka too. Very stylish

newlabelwriter · 21/01/2021 12:21

Loved it. She’s still a thoroughly dreadful human though 😉

Astella22 · 21/01/2021 12:21

The woman has style there is no denying that. Loved the dress

JaneJeffer · 21/01/2021 12:29

She's gorgeous.

I felt sorry for the women coming down those lethal stairs in their high heels. Kamala stumbled a bit near the bottom. A pair of sturdy boots would have been much better!

TokyoSushi · 21/01/2021 12:31

I am absolutely no fan whatsoever of Melania, but she is incredibly beautiful with fabulous clothes.

Marylou2 · 21/01/2021 12:33

Loved the black coat she wore yesterday too. Have to hand it too her she has taste. Pity it didn't extend to her spouse but damn she looks fabulous in heels.

Same! She did have a spring in her step as she left the White House I thought! Probably relieved it's all over.
