Love it

I see it is sold out

@Waverless

I saw it referred to as a traditional Slovenian divorce dress Grin
Loved the dress - but this comment is hilarious. 😁😁

Interesting fact about Jackie O.
When she was married to Mr Onassis, she had a clothing budget.

She's buy expensive designer clothes, then sell them on quickly - stashing the cash in her own bank account.

I wonder if Melanie has thought of that?

The blind items have repeatedly suggested a certain new royal (now no longer a royal?) does this...

What are you seeing that I’m not? I thought it was awful!

ageingdisgracefully · 21/01/2021 13:12

I'd love to see her in something more casual though. She's so striking.

Londontown12 · 21/01/2021 13:20

That’s a beaut dress !! You never know a high street retailer may do a version but cheaper !!

lynsey91 · 21/01/2021 13:20

I thought it was awful. DH asked why she had her nightie on.

HeyLala · 21/01/2021 13:23

The shoes are £430 in the uk and are in stock on Net a porter with a 15% discount applied at checkout if anyone is interested

Deathraystare · 21/01/2021 13:25

I don't think she is beautiful . She reminds me very much of Katie Price - a very very aggressive horsey face.

SeasonFinale · 21/01/2021 13:27

I loved it. Again not sure it would do anything for me as a 5 ft chubster! If they could make it in a longline tunic for over leggings count me in!

MrsMoastyToasty · 21/01/2021 13:27

I just noticed the way she hurried down the steps of the plane and across the tarmac leaving DT behind...

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 21/01/2021 13:27

I liked it on her. But with my curves and long, tatty lockdown hair, I'd look like the eccentric priestess of some weird alternative church.

I felt relieved she finally got to wear some flats. Those stilettos looked painful.

Too distracted by the sociopath inside to form a view

Meow! Love the catty comments - they are so funny - please keep them coming I am enjoying this threadGrin

PresentingPercy · 21/01/2021 14:54

Surely this dress was about making a statement? A wild print. Flat shoes. Casual elegance. Free from the stuffy White House. She looks good in nearly everything (bar the white pith helmet hat a few years ago). Does a Gucci print signal divorce? And what do
most men know about fashion? Take no notice of unfashionable DH.

I agree. I think (like KP) she's tipped over the line with the cosmetic enhancements into wind tunnel territory.

Impressed, though, that she could view that Gucci dress unworn and realise that it could channel "the Marrakech in the 70s style of YSL look " once on, and not just reeled back with her hands over her face screaming "My eyes! My EYES!"...

RoseAndRose · 21/01/2021 15:26

Yes, the 'Divorce Dress' was very striking and caught the eye. So it was impossible to miss how quickly she was moving away from her spouse, paying no attention to where he was at all.

likeamillpond · 21/01/2021 15:33

How tall is she? I'm guessing fairly tall as everything looks beautiful on her.
Trump must be tall as well as she seldom towers over him.
Unlless he wears built up shoes.

I Don't think there's ever been (except Jackie O )and never will a first lady as stylish as Melanie.

BonnieDundee · 21/01/2021 15:37

Not keen on the dress but anything looks good on her

Cooltalkin · 21/01/2021 16:22

MadameButterface · 21/01/2021 16:23

god yeah that dress is everything.

Michelle Obama has entered the chat

likeamillpond · 21/01/2021 16:28

I forgot about Michelle.
She scrubbed up well on occasion.

jay55 · 21/01/2021 17:05

Love the print but it does nothing for Melania. And she usually looks amazing.

PresentingPercy · 21/01/2021 17:14

It was a great statement “Off duty now” dress in the circumstances. She’s 5’11” - so tall.
