MELANIA TRUMP, first lady of the United States, and Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, wore lavish and stylish outfits to watch the president’s first address to a joint session of congress last night.
However, the two glamorous women were widely criticised for their outfit choices, which were branded “inappropriate” after social media commenters noted the hefty price tag of the extravagant garments.
Melania Trump wore an outfit from Michael Kors’ Spring 2017 collection that retails for $10,000, or over £8,800.
The black skirt was cinched in at the waist with a wide black belt with a square buckle, while the fabric was adorned with black sequin embellishment.
The Floral-Embroidered Stretch Pebble-Crepe Dinner Jacket costs for $4,995 (£4,037.61), and the skirt costs $4,595 (£3,714.28).
Ivanka Trump wore a relatively modestly priced $2,995 (£2,420.95) Roland Mouret dress, in an orchid pink shade with an off-the-shoulder silhouette.
Mouret’s site describes Ivanka’s gown as “an easy choice for that evening affair when you think you have ‘nothing to wear’”, while Kors’ vision for Melania’s outfit reads: “Shaped, slit and exquisitely embellished — sexy this season is sly.”
The American designer’s description of his black ensemble certainly suits the image that the public felt Melania Trump was channelling last night - that of Joan Collins in dynasty.
Her character was Alexis Carrington, the beautiful and vengeful ex-wife of tycoon Blake Carrington.
One Twitter user wrote: “Melania is dressed like Joan Collins in Dynasty. #JointSession.”
Another said: “The last time I saw a sparkly suit like that, Joan Collins was wearing it on Dynasty????”
One Twitter user said of Ivanka Trump’s ensemble: “I keep thinking that someone should tell @IvankaTrump that her bra strap is showing (imo the dress is inappropriate) #JointSession”.
Another said: “@IvankaTrump Show respect for the institutions of our democracy. Your dress is fine for cocktails but not for a joint session of Congress.”
That is pretty tame though.
the people’s choice, they dont lie! :)
THAT is showing a lot of thigh? That’s nothing. Good grief! It’s a gorgeous suit, but would like it more without the belt. But she’s so tall she can pull it off.
dagnabbit youre right. ive got ivanka on the brain! :)
Fixed it.
Always remember, Ivanka and Melania are women. Mooch is a tranny.
Liberals sure are sexists. What do they want people to wear, burkas?
Let’s face it: the Rat party is the Party of Butt Ugly Women. Their snarkiness about the lovely Ivanka and Melania is pure bald-faced jealousy.
Bwhah hah hah, the Rats can’t stand the fact that we have a HOTTIE for a First lady. Jackie Kennedy was pretty, and of course very good-looking and young compared to Mamie Eisenhower. But Melania is hands-down more gorgeous than Jackie could ever hope to be. So proud of our lovely First Lady!
At least you had the correct last name. 8>)
Who is the woman below Ivanka with the Charlie Tuna on her arm?
Hey, what’d we do to you ?
Eat your hearts out liberals... Republican women have brains and good looks. Liberal women have neither.
If some Hollywood actress who never met an abortion she didn’t like wore that on the Oscar red carpet they’d be thrilled.
Now you’ve gone TOO far. One more of these and I’m opusing out.
Was she a wife of a police officer killed by an illegal?
Some of it Moocher got dumpster diving......and at an East Chicago used clothing drive.
Nice jumbo tattoo there on vulgar display by the woman at the bottom of the first picture. There’s some “respect for the institutions of our democracy”, huh. Future wife of future President Camacho?
That’s a nice picture of Rick James!!
