Most First Ladies have not really embraced fashion apart from Jackie K and MO. They both wore European designers and developed their style. Melania was able to do the same. The others just looked frumpy most of the time. Nancy Reagan was chic though.

She’s 5’11” - so tall.

... so tall. The tallest. Really bigley tall.

Sorry - just couldn't help hearing "so tall" in the orange-one's voice.

That will stop, won't it?

I do. She wears it well. But not everyone has her posture, poise and slimness. To be fair, whatever you might have thought of her, her clothes were mostly rather fabulous. Excluding the 'I don't care' parka obvs.

PresentingPercy · 21/01/2021 20:13

Yes. That was a self parody wasn’t it? A bit odd though.

ILoveShula · 21/01/2021 20:17

I like it but am on corporation pop income.

StCharlotte · 21/01/2021 21:50

Michelle was fierce yesterday.

Melania's dress must have been awful. MIL said so and she's normally oblivious to this stuff.

HerselfIndoors · 21/01/2021 22:02

LOVED it. I love prints, it’s also in my favourite colours and it suited her brilliantly. I have always found her and her outfits compelling to look at, even when I don’t like what she’s wearing. The body language and faces she makes that make it look like she really despises trump - I’m really interested to know if she’s going to leave him now.

If I had ££££££ that dress is the sort of thing I’d buy!

thebabessavedme · 21/01/2021 23:37

I liked the dress, but she really does look like a very discontented cat to me, walk past her and she will shred your ankles with one swipe.

Thismustbelove · 22/01/2021 01:47

I loved it too. She's fantastically stylish.

BeaLola · 22/01/2021 01:56

She looks fab 99.9 % of the time - she has the figure and poise and wears a lot of tailored classic styles

I am intrigued as to why she married Trump ? With her reported intelligence and looks and the type of people she would meet as a model I expect she could have nabbed herself a millionaire if she was wanting to marry for money ? without resorting to the weird orange one ? - I guess I'm saying she would have had options so perhaps she is strangely drawn to him ?

There doesn't seem to be much about anyone she dated pre Trump . I'm not sure she will divorce him - I think she will be Mrs Trump until he dies

They seem very happy together in this interview.
DramaAlpaca · 22/01/2021 02:28

That is almost the worst item I've ever seen her in.

The very worst one is that awful anorak with the slogan on the back.

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/01/2021 11:46

I liked it too. Would look awful on me though.

Like her or not you cannot say she doesn’t have great style and dresses beautifully. Her skin is amazing. She’s not phoning it in.

It makes a change from the wealthy women you see who look bloody awful.

I like to think if I was that rich I’d be more Melania than Bride of Wildenstein.

Marcipex · 22/01/2021 12:00

I thought the print was hideous, and I love seventies prints and kaftans.
Melania would carry anything off well though, and she obviously wanted to make a statement.

Craftycorvid · 22/01/2021 23:26

I think my mum had some curtains like that in 1972. Grin

Marcipex · 22/01/2021 23:29

@Craftycorvid Lorraine Kelly said the same 😄

Overseasmom100 · 22/01/2021 23:42

Love the black suit bag heels looked stunning but I didnot like the kaftan at all!!!!

openallthetime · 22/01/2021 23:46

really lovely dress, I'm no trump fan but wow. Sensational!

Craftycorvid · 23/01/2021 08:34

Marcipex. Well, me and Lorraine, we’re like that, you know. 🤣

Hopdathelf · 23/01/2021 10:20

Slogan aside, she even made the anorak look good. Oh to be tall and willowy.

Thismustbelove · 24/01/2021 12:08

With her reported intelligence

Over reported perhaps? Embellished even? EG age is reported to be fluent in multiple different languages but I read she can say a couple of sentences in them. That isn’t fluency.

She married for money. Lots of money. Lots of people do.
