I long for the good old days of the "I don't care.." jackets. The comments and laughs brightened otherwise dark days.

Speaking of jackets, will Melania dust off her dozens of wool coats now that she is braving the cold again?

Girlfriend, it’s been 2 days. We already have Ivanka cosplaying Audrey Hepburn and Serena Joy on the same day, Kellyanne dressing for the grandma ice capades, Usha being too boring for this awesome thread, and Melania using a hat as a shield from her odious husband (he’s only 2 years older than her father).

Any more than this so early and we would all overdose and fall into a blissful stupor. We have to pace ourselves.

She looked beautiful and the gown was custom. It was daring (for American fashion tbh, Americans are less daring, esp first ladies) and unusual for an inaugural gown. It’s hard to pull off a choker and Melania did. She trended less colonial and more continental today, and it’s disconcerting to some of the hayseeds.

Ivanka followed suit. They both looked fantastic.

Oooh, this is beautiful… another +1 for Ivanka! Finally the woman leverages her best asset… her beautiful figure, in a normal way. -OP

That is GORGEOUS. The fit, the line, the all of it.

+100
Absolutely stunning.

It looks like a dress from David’s Bridal.

Nailed it! Just tacky. So many amazing designers out there and this is the best she can do? Looks like something my 8 year old DD might have picked out for princess dress up.

DP. You know it’s a redesign by Givenchy, right? It’s absolutely gorgeous.

Yes absolutely. And it may have been lovely in the ‘50s on a 25 year old in a movie. Totally ridiculous princess fantasy today.

You sleigh me!

Ivanka's gown wasn't some cheap imitation dress- it was custom made for her by Givenchy, who also created Audrey's gown. It was an intentional homage to Audrey. She wasn't trying to fool anyone with a copycat dress. But I guess the facts aren't juicy enough for this thread.

And she just "happens" to do "homages" a lot. She has no moxie to figure out what looks good on her own.

Maybe we'll get a bright red Nancy Regan suit set homage. That would be hilarious.

The thing that’s annoying about this board is no one can separate their politics from their fashion assessment. I mean, give fashion props when it’s due and be an equal opportunity critic when the dress calls for it.

🙄 I am not even American, nor Dem/Rep, but this thread is hilarious. I agree with the previous PP about how she tried too hard to recreate the Audrey Hepburn look, and then making it tacky. Nothing against Givenchy. She should redefine her own style. Look at Victorian Beckham.

Some do, probably a lot. Some don't.

That's how it goes.

Art is propaganda and fashion is art. To ignore the political statements made by some of these outfits would be to ignore the real power of art.

Ivanka is trying, however ineptly, to evoke MAGA’s nostalgia for the 1940s and 50s. These people likely see this as an era where women were unabashedly feminine and beautiful and most importantly, non-threatening. It’s also an era where people of color had no real power.

The fact that she is so bad at this is hilarious, and the fact that she is even trying is why the thread is several thousand pages long at this point.

Several *hundred* pages long, probably thousands of posts

No it's the other way around. Trump is 2 years younger than her father.

Nancy Mace covered herself up more than I expected. Vince Vaughn seemed slightly disheveled though in his pic with her.

Here’s her slideshow of selfies w/MAGA celebs:

Ivanka knocked it out of the park.

(Her earlier green outfit though…. Totally cosplaying Kate Middleton. I think wearing her camel coat inside was also following Kate Middleton’s penchant for coat dresses).

Ivanka looks like a human mannequin. Her proportions are all off. Her plastic surgery is a travesty. Just so unnatural looking, so bad. Ugh

I think the black gloves are a lot with the dress. Also, Audrey Hepburn was tiny, so the embroidery covered more of her dress. Ivanka's dress looks relatively plain, though I think it has exactly the same amount of embroidery. In addition, Ivanka has a slight hunch, a lot of tall women do especially if their partners are not much taller, and that really doesn't help when trying to carry a dress like this.

The level of embroidery per blank space on the dress bothered me too, and it's a solvable problem -- they should have made the embroidery on Ivanka's dress larger. Even if using an existing fabric, you can cut it so the embroidery comes higher on the bust and covers more of the skirt. I also just think the construction is off and makes it look like a cheap replica -- what you'd get if you sent a photo of the Audrey dress to one of those Chinese replica-makers. But like look at this other angle on the original below below -- it's not just that the embroidery covers more of the dress, it's also the construction of the overskirt and the way it seems to wrap around more and have more volume, and little details like the bow at the waistline. It looks like a very finished, complete look. Ivanka's lacks that level of finish.

I can’t believe I didn’t immediately recognize this as Audrey’s dress! I agree that the original is better made but I don’t think Ivanka could have worn the more full wraparound effect of the Audrey version — Audrey had no hips so could do that.
I still think it’s a gorgeous dress. Would look even better on her if she had her natural brunette color. I spent the whole last administration posting that she should ditch the bottle blonde but I guess she didn’t read our thread thoroughly enough to get that note. She would be so much prettier as a brunette.

Unlike Vanky, Audrey starved in 1944 in the Netherlands during a famine and the war. Most likely, her body did not get the needed nutrients and this contributed to her small frame. The effects of starvation affected her for her entire life.

I don’t think that’s right, from a biological perspective. People who endured famine at a young age (like holocaust victims) often gain extra weight as they age because their bodies reset to preserve calories. Childhood malnutrition is a risk facotor for future heart disease because of it. I think Audrey was just genetically tiny plus people were smaller back then. Extended Lack of childhood nutrition does affect height — women who grew up during the Spanish civil war were incredibly short.

You don’t think what’s right?

She was quoted as blaming her health issues on her years of starvation. If you don’t believe her, fine.

I think Mace is btsht crazy but she looks great and has such happy energy.
