I looked at the larger photo and zoomed in.

It is pilling, and it looks even worse up close.

It’s really, really bad.

It's horrible. I don't know who told her that she looks good in camel, but they lied. I have her coloring, camel/beige is awful.

Ha. My mom and I had our colors analyzed for fun in Arlington, and my mom was just texting, "Usha needs to go to the woman we saw, that color is not for her :/" (Hey, Usha's friends, since I know y'all read here, or at least you were more obvious when she had her own thread: Tell your girl that she's a winter of some kind. She looks absolutely beautiful in jewel tones but camel makes her look like the ghost of an Oregon trail cholera victim.)

At this point I'm pretty sure that Usha just has a personal affinity for these colors that look terrible on her. She seems to really like camel/tan and pale pinky colors and they look so bad on her. Jewel tones do look beautiful on women with her skin tone. I don't get it.

I kind of get it. I used to love wearing pale blue. Turns out, I look really bad in pale blue...but I never wore the colors I looked good in, so I didn't realize how sickly I looked. So when I had my colors done and found out I was a spring, I was kind of disappointed. But the more I started wearing colors I looked good in, the more I got used to it.

I still wear pale blue sometimes, just away from my face. I think Usha should try like, camel pants and a jewel toned top. I think that would look pretty on her.

Yup, pp you responded to and I agree with all of this. Pale blue is also not my color, and who doesn’t love pale blue? But it’s just never going to be the best color for us. I am a winter/near fall and deep jewel tones look prettiest on me.

I also agree with the pp who suggested that these color choices are a weird, maybe subconscious attempt to emulate WASPY women. Deep jewel tones are of course emblematic of saris, and I think for the sake of her husband’s political career, Usha wants to stay as far away from suggesting or celebrating her ethnic origins as possible. This is a contrast from someone like Kamala Harris who at least occasionally wore Indian jewelry; we don’t really see someone like Usha doing that.

Saris come in all sorts of colors, including pale/pastel and muted colors like cream and beige, not just jewel tones. White woman don’t have a lock on subtle colors, but of course they think her dressing style is all about copying them

I'm Indian, and cream and beige saris are few and far between.

Not true! You can start with Kerala saris, all of which are cream, based on the traditional settu mundu, also cream. Bollywood has been trending muted colors. Poster child:

I like the coat and appreciate your appreciation for coats. I think she runs cold like me. I think her hair looks better a shade or too darker. This is too blonde for her, especially when she’s got such a deep tan. Also think she looks better without such a dark spray tan.

On Melania generally, I think she likes a costume or an assignment. Maybe it dates from her modeling days. But she seems to go wrong when she misunderstands the assignment (pith helmet in Africa, hamburglar hat for inauguration). I do appreciate the fact that upon becoming First Lady, she traded in all her NYC trophy wife gear for things like double breasted blazers, long pencil skirts with tailored shirts, sophisticated gowns, etc. She understood the assignment to look a little more conservative, professional, mature. She didn’t show up to work in a see through dress with her cleavage hanging out like some people do. I don’t like her a lot but I do give her credit for that (as well as for largely keeping her son out of the Trump circus for so many years).

Her son is definitely in the Trump circus. lol
