Melania’s, the first thought was it is too similar to her previous inaugural gown for me and would have rather seen something less similar to last time. The fit seems good at least and I am not a fan of chokers. Hard not to see an arrow or think of Trump’s weather Sharpie but maybe that is partly because I am looking at just another white column for her again.

Copy of Audrey Hepburn. It’s a beautiful dress, worked for her.

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

She's done this before -- copied someone else's look. I'll go dig it up if nobody else remembers the exact one.

Pretty lame.

PP. She copied Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief. It's embarrassing.

Who cares? Fashion is always inspired by something. That was a beautiful gown.

Usha looks nice.

I think Mel looks like she is attending a funeral.

They are relatively new money. They are gaudy, lack any real substance or charisma. They are on the same level as the Kardashians.

It's not an excuse. You can be new money and have impeccable taste -- socialites have used great taste to get in with the old guard for generations. But it takes a very practiced eye and an a lot of restraint. Nancy Reagan was actually pretty successful at this. She found a way to fit right in with the old money Republican women even though she was a child actress from NYC who had spent years in Hollywood. She understood how to make that look authentic for her. After all, it's just costuming.

I'm not saying you have to do this -- I don't actually care if politicians or their families are "old money." I like it when people do their own thing. Michelle Obama never tried to look like old money. Neither did Betty Ford or Rosalynn Carter. They were just themselves and it worked for them. But Trump's family, but especially Ivanka, seems to desperately want to emulate that old money look and it always looks so fake and bad to me. I think she must have very low self esteem and not really know how to simply be herself. She takes after her dad in that way -- they are both always trying to play a role and not very well. Yet they fail up. I don't know.

Also Laura Bush. No glamor gal but she looked fine and was always herself.

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.

Yes, let’s start a thread on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. They fit right in with this group. More proof that money doesn’t buy class. Wow. What is going on with them? Less is more guys, less is more.

I haven't read the whole thread, but did they just photoshop DJT into the picture?

She's....not his wife.

Why were these people even there?
