First Lady if USA and of Fashion.

[MatrhewWilliamson]

Whatever your politics, Melania looks amazing.

m There has been some criticism for her outfit today as being too funereal but the coat was dark navy, not black. She and Usha are sartorially exquisite today.

It's not a 'miss' it's a sign. This is exactly what she means to say

'I'm perfect, unapproachable and an enigma '

She knows he couldn't kiss her, she knows you won't see her eyes. She means every inch of it. Very clever.

Once this is done she'll be out of there for the next four years.

Agree with all of this and the previous comment that Melania's hat was deliberately worn so that Donald couldn't kiss her.

Usha Vance looked exquisite!

Melania is usually elegant and today was no exception. The hat was sartorially offputting and I thought that was deliberate. Although the cut, the material and Melania herself are beautiful there was nonetheless a whiff of Mary Poppins.

I can't believe people like this look; I think that she looked really awful. You couldn't see her face! The hat was a weird shape! The colour was really boring. Not my cup of tea.

Melania was giving low-level Al Capone mob boss energy in that outfit.
Don't know what message that sends to us all, but heaven help us.

Heard her coat had a big swastika on the back and a sponsered by tesla label.

It real was the “f off and don’t mess with me” look, wasn’t it?

She 100% did it on purpose, that's the whole point.

Bloody hell there are some seriously bitchy comments on here.😒
Sartorially, Melanie never puts a foot wrong, and she looked great today.
Looking forward to seeing the evening 'geowns' in the DM tomorrow!

Ah but what a good hat to wear if you’re trying to cover up the fact that it’s actually a Melania-clone?! 😜

<tongue firmly in cheek, obv>

She looked like a cartoon villain or the evil headmistress of a Parisian boarding school...
Which I suppose is not necessarily a bad way to look

I assumed the hat was to cover up botched filler/botox (🐈)

I didn't recognise her husband, without the orange tan he could have been anybody.

This. Melania looked fabulous and always does. Usha looked great too. Both of them looked very classy

I'd call that having principles.

Melania always looks like she’s wearing a costume, today was no different. The clothes wear her rather than the other way around.

He's been looking a lot better this time round. Better looking than before.

I think they dressed almost but not quite British Royals.

Fashion should look effortless. Melanie never looks effortless. She never looks relaxed in her clothes - they always wear her.

I still maintain that it's rude to refuse to dress the First Lady. It's not about the personalities, it's about respecting the office of President in a democracy - no one can argue that DT didn't win a landslide victory, so to disrespect her by refusing to be publicly associated, is disrespectful to the choices and results which occur in a democracy. IMO anyway.

I doubt the fashion industry is objecting on principle - they just don't want to alienate other rich celebrities. The fashion industry is just protecting its bread and butter business, but I still think it's rude to refuse to work with people who disagree with you - MT will be representing their nation on a world stage.

Hopefully she will take the opportunity to promote up and coming designers.

Both Melania's hat and her grim outfit screamed don't see me, don't look at me, don't approach me.
She does that very well and it's not a secret how much she values her privacy.
Never seen without huge sunglasses outdoors, she clearly wasn't trying to impress anyone but rather fade into the background.
In one photo, with that hat that allowed no one to look into her eyes, she looked quite masculine and hard.

Ivanka on the other hand looked well dressed for the occasion.
The colour of her well cut suit was subdued, yet still attractive, and the beret style was perfect for covering her hair, which gave her an air of serious yet glamorous.

It did feel a bit funereal when I first saw it (didn’t recognise it was navy and not black). Stylish but boring. I thought she looked tired/old/not her best at Carter’s funeral so maybe she was hiding some face work behind the hat (I don’t mean this to criticise MT as I don’t care either way about her).

Usha Vance and Ivanka’s outfits were lovely. I also had a soft spot for Tiffany’s cuddly-looking blue coat (velvet?) and Jill Biden’s purple was gorgeous (v politic too!)

I think Usha Vance looked very stylish

Excellent hat choice for Melania, a trump proof brim. He couldn’t get near her without cutting himself and she obviously dislikes him. Would be interesting to know what their ‘arrangement’ really is.

I thought she looked like she was off for a bit of dressage or something after.
