Her pants are too tight and her boobs make that cropped jacket stick out too far. Would be cute on a less curvy woman.

It looks like a suit from the juniors section -- just really juvenile. I don't know if it's the fit (too tight), or if it's because it's just too trendy or both.

Rising Income Inequality - Pointed shoes often flourish when elites want to visually differentiate themselves.
Social Tension or Transitional Times - Big pointy-shoe moments appear before wars (1300s, 1500s, 1900s) and before major financial crises (2000s)

A broader shift to “hard-edged” aesthetics often accompanies geopolitical tension, technological disruption and a desire for strong silhouettes. Historically, extreme fashion silhouettes have often preceded economic contractions—because they appear near the emotional peak of a cycle.

There you go - took a history of fashion class when I was in grad school for international economics.

What a fun class! The point about extreme fashions makes me think of Hunger Games, and of course the absurd wigs and those skirts that stuck out for feet on either side that were popular in the late 18th century. Someone could look a that and be like, yeah....that's probably going to end badly for the wigged ladies in absurd skirts and their husbands in high heels.
I'd actually love to read a book, or listen to a podcast, on fashion and history.

Fascinating. I remember pointy-toed pumps in the 80s too during the Reagan era.

Agreed. She really nailed the Madame part of the overall look.

So to you, a black dress = funeral? Interesting. That dress is fabulous.

Why did we stop wearing stockings? Is it not uncomfortable without on the naked skin?
I am not talking about sandals, of course. My feet absolutely kill me and bleed unless I have socks, even thin stockings.

I like the dress but where was that conservative professional look when she actually represented the U.S. in a professionall capacity. Instead we got weird floral appliqués and visible nipples.

A snake would be appropriate for a Trump.
