I love that

This is the best detail I have found of Melania's xmas eve dress

^^^Should also add Usha is interesting to me because she's not quite as stylish and elegant as the Hopes and Bettinas of Trump world world (just using them as examples because they're all 38-39) but not trashy like the Kristi Noems and Karoline Leavitts. She's evolving into her own thing which is its own brand of tastefully stylish. It will always be hard to say why that evolution happened though, because it happened around the time of the Erika Kirk rumors. Did she just start to ease into her role more 9-10 months in? Or did the rumors rattle her? (Even if not true, I think a lot of women can relate to being suspicious and upping their game a bit so to speak.)

She's getting to her own look which is interesting to see. I loved her Hanukkah party outfit.

She always looks really good, IMO. To Trump's credit, yes, she did actually look elegant on Christmas Eve.

My theory about Melanie stands. She has more power than people think. In the past year, if not longer, she has always dressed differently from the other Trump women (related ones and/or associated ones). She has been wearing a lot of pants and suits, for example. If you compare her style to the others, you can see she is tailored, using mostly (not all) color tones that work with her coloring, and is one of the few I have seen wearing pants rather consistently.

There was a great article that talked about this in relation to Hope Hicks years ago during the first admin. I'll see if I can find it. The author noted that when Hope first started working for Trump during the campaign, she mimicked Ivanka's "Barbie Goes to DC" style. Lots of A-line dresses and girlish details like ruffles and bows. Ivanka still had a fashion line at this point and Hope wore a lot of her designs.

Once she got more power, she started dressing more like Melania. Stilettos instead of Mary Jane block heels, more solids than floral prints, and who can forget that Ralph Lauren tuxedo at the state dinner. The author's point was that Hope was important enough to Trump that she didn't have to follow the typical girlish fashions that Trump likes on women. She had amassed as much power as Melania, so he would overlook her wearing pants.

Interesting to me that the women in Trump's inner-inner orbit are the ones with the best style. Melania, Hope, Ivanka, Bettina, Vanessa. It's the ones who are just in his professional orbit and want to be liked by him who get the shitty plastic surgery, spackle on makeup, and dress in Temu knockoffs.

Side note I googled Hope to see what she's up to and she's running Megyn Kelly's shitty podcast company. And engaged to a geriatric. Go figure.

I think she’s more of a Vance woman.

She’s Tammy Faye, reincarnated

Ah Tammy Faye!

I was a kid but yes, I couldn't figure out what Widow Kirk's look reminded me of.

Of course, Widow Kirk has a bit more venom in her. Poor Tammy Faye always reminded me of a marshmallow.

He is no one. His career will be done after this photo. Knocking women to the gourd and kicking her is not something to be proud of.

I doubt it. If anything the hatred for the Trump admin. will make him more famous.

I agree he knocked her to the ground and kicked her while she was down but he is objectively someone lol. He has photographed dozens of other political figures.

Now, after Caroline announced that she is pregnant, this photographer will go in history as the person who mocks pregnant woman.

Omg. She is sharing the books she loves and supposedly read next to a photo of her reading while wearing a DRESS? Holy fakeness!

I actually like the dress during COVID times.

She is trying to suppress her childhood by reading that book. Her facial expression looks distressed!

As we round out the year, I have to admit that Melania Trump is looking really good these days.

Of course you do.

Dude. I am mixed race, not Desi, don’t live in the DMV, and hate her politics. Please be less of a snotty idiot. I’m not a fan but genuinely think she looks far better than most in Trumpworld.

If it was a Hilary Clinton headband--yes those looked juvenile but the bow looks classy.

The bow on an older woman would look silly, but she's still young enough to pull it off and look beautiful. And I agree about the Hillary Clinton headband stage. Very juvenile.

at 40? She's young enough?

She’s a clown. He’s a loser. Had to say it again because it was deleted for some reason.
