A midi-length shirt dress is totally appropriate. You may not like how she looks but she looks totally correct for the occasion.

And the exact same bolded statement is true of Melania and her outfit (given it was worn during a historically cold week in NC).

NP - yes and no. Melania’s outfit, while tired, is objectively fine. What’s odd is that she and Drump look like they are going to 2 different events, even though it’s literally a photo op. Like she’s just stopping by before she hits the slopes (or the school pickup line) At least the Bidens look like a partnership.

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.

said this last admin and was called crazy. its only gotten more blatant,

Are you too stupid to click on the link that has all the pictures? Guess so.

Links are discouraged by the site owner. And for those of us at work, we may not be able to open them.

There's no objective gauge for this. To me, she Melanie looks like she should wear a big sign that says I REALLY DONUT CARE on her. Leggings, a beanie, that scowl - she does not look like she's there to provide empathy or aid to people who have suffered. But you like her, so clearly we can have different opinions.

DP. I don’t like her in the slightest, but you are simply wrong. You’re grasping at straws to find fault with her perfectly acceptable outfit because you DON’T like her.

Also, her scowl? I’ll bet you would get offended if someone told you to smile, so maybe take a second and think about how obnoxious a criticism that is…

I think the sunglasses and scowl are what really make it look weird. She looks like the hot older mom at school dropoff before going to exercise class.

I think it bizarre that you have an emotional reaction at all to what someone else is wearing. Also, her outfit was fine. She is certainly attractive and generally dresses to suit her figure. Hate on her husband’s politics (like everyone else) but don’t use that as a reason to hate on her outfits. Her outfit was every bit as appropriate as the matronly dress and white sport sandals that Jill wore for a similar occasion (and M looked better in hers).

+100
There is a poster, perhaps the PP, who is so over-the-top in her reactions to anything Melania Trump wears. She did that on the Usha Vance thread too - just so incredibly offended by what she deemed "inappropriate" clothing. It is, indeed, bizarre - especially considering Melania almost always looks wonderful (inauguration day hat excepted!).

I'm sorry but if you think that leggings, a short puffer, a beanie, sunglasses, and a scowl is a "wonderful" look for visiting hurricane victims, you aren't operating with a full tank.

Do some of you think it’s really appropriate to wear a dress to visit disaster zones? It really telegraphs “I won’t even think about lifting a finger” IMO…

Other than comforting people, what is a First Lady’s role in a disaster zone? Nobody brings in FLOTUS to do any actual work, and even if they did, Jill Biden is in her 70s, so it’s not going to be hard physical labor.

So what exactly is the issue with Melania’s outfit?

I’m pretty sure that was a photo op for her $40m movie with Amazon, thanks to political donor Jeff Bezos.

Yes. She’s a horrid person. I’ll never forget when people were losing jobs in 2020 because of her dad’s policies and she started her “Try Something New” campaign to encourage people to find totally new jobs when there was a shortage of jobs.

Tone deaf
Uncaring

I could not dislike the Trump’s more, but I don’t have a problem with Melania’s outfit.

This is a FASHION thread - my comments on people's fashion have no relationship to what I think of them as a person. As it happens, I am neutral on Melania because I really don't know much about her (other than I don't like her DH and that she appears to be a loving mother). On the other hand, I have generally positive feelings about Jill Biden - but I don't think she is fashionable. See how I am able to separate my views on fashion from my views of the person?

But to add to my previous post - I agree with the other posters who have called you out for saying Melania "wears" a scowl. Like you assume it's deliberate and not just meant to be a neutral expression.

In the picture above in the lavender dress, she looks like she froze her face for the photo.

When she smiles, she creates the deep wrinkles up and down her face. It’s wild. Maybe that’s what fillers cause?

One example.

Bonus—Trump’s hair is hilarious.

I mean, the woman is a public figure and former model. Are you telling me she doesn't know how to comport herself in public? I don't believe that for a second. She is either doing it on purpose, or truly just doesn't care. I think probably the latter.

Melania looks amazing. Botox and all. Have you seen recent pictures of Caroline Kennedy? She looks far older than 67, but clearly is all natural. So pick your poison: a bit of a frozen face but you look 10 yrs younger, or so nothing and potentially (depending on lifestyle/genetics) look 15 yrs older

Kind of amazing and yet…not…that Caroline Kennedy at age 67, thin, and using hair dye, is described at Nerd Central as “looking far older” than sixty freaking seven.
