Sorry. That was the last dress I linked to after combing through the consignment bin that is Bettina's ShopMy. THIS is the dress I was referring to as insane for a state dinner:
|
| It's kinda wild she linked to like, 500 different tropical looking linen bowling shirts on that thing and yet I've never seen Trump Jr. in a linen bowling shirt. |
Jeebus. |
She must've wound up not going because if she had worn that, we definitely would've heard about it. It's actually psychotic that a nearly 40yo woman who runs in old money circles would think that's an appropriate dress to have dinner with the King and Queen of England in. |
The Melania thing was so dumb. I hate her husband and even I can admit people only got worked up over that gown because they hate her husband. Bare shoulders to state dinners are fine - Michelle Obama wore sleeveless gowns to state dinners with QEII and no one said shit. The silver Anna October dress (it's not even a gown! It's not even advertised as a gown, it's listed as a maxi dress!) is actually inappropriate. |
Side note, upon googling her to see if she actually dresses like the shit on her shopmy, I really like this dress:
|
| No long sleeves in the Bahamas in May. I'm guessing bateau neck. |
I think the coat dresses and skirt suits are an affectation that she started wearing due to being the girlfriend of the President's son. A quick google shows that before Don came along, her style was much more in line with the things she links to.
She is a Palm Beach native, so I guess the love of dressing like a sexy Mrs. Roper makes sense. Unrelated, but wtf is this eyesore:
|
| I don't think she's ugly, per se, and she has a great body, but she's just one of those people who looks older. Not old. But I don't think she looks 39. You could tell me she was a well-preserved 50 and I'd believe you. |
Don jrs. slippers here. Woof. He's so repulsive. |
Oh I didn't even notice. Tuxedo slippers with a suit? Very strange. |
She's not even 39 in most of those pictures I just posted. Those are all a few years old, bc I got them from a now-several-years-old article about "Who is Donald Trump Jr.'s New Girlfriend." She's probably 34-36 in most of those pictures. |
I mean. On the one hand, I think changing her style to fit the location (DC rather than Palm Beach) and the people she's with (the President's family vs. random socialites) is a sign of situational awareness that most Trumps lack. Like, "Oh, I can't wear a mumu to the White House Easter Egg Roll as much as I'd like to. Better put on a pastel skirt suit." But then affiliate linking her Camp David outfit and suggesting that she considered wearing a dress where the bodice is basically pasties to the UK state dinner would indicate otherwise. |
That silver dress can't actually be what she was considering wearing to the UK. I don't know why else she'd be in England needing a brocade coat dress and an evening gown, but that can't be serious. Because this is what she wore to the M-a-L NYE party a few months before that:
So she clearly knows what the expectations of a black tie event are, fashion-wise. |
I mean. She's kind of cringe in general. And I say this as someone her age. Her instagram is extremely cringey millennial who loves puns. She captioned a pic of her with Nikki Minaj "Stars, Stripes and Super Bass" and then a pic of her and DJT2 at a gala captioned "Gala season is our Winter Olympics" lol She's really just the fancier, socialite version of a normal woman our age who posts IGs like "So...I did a thing..." |
