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.”
Rules????
How about you are to never wear white before Easter or after Labor Day!
Yeah they did.
Stunningly beautiful, incredibly classy and highly intelligent ladies.
How very refreshing and heartening!
O.M.G.
ROTFL!
Didn’t she get criticized for wearing one of her own cheap dresses?
Talk about disgusting hypocrisy, these people are professional hypocrites.
Comparing Ivanka and Melania to Mooshelle is like two Ferraris and a Dump Truck!
ok.... So What!!??
I swear those ladies could make a gunny sack look glamorous. Of course, they’re no match for Hillary Clinton and her discarded-tablecloth pantsuits. Or Michelle Obama, the spokesmodel for Wookie-wear.
Looks good to me. very classy.
Looks like libtards can't stand 2 great looking women with a sense of style. They gotta have their dump truck ladies.
Criticism from the folks who are OK with naked men and women in gay pride parades.
Methinks it was intentional she wore black when the dems wore their white KKK sheets. Smart lady.
I remember the pussybow outfit she wore at one of the debates.
Am I the only one humming the Rolling Stones “I’m So Hot For Her [And She’s So Cold]” in their head?
Poor, drooling puddles of envy.
:D
Melania has both boobs and a waist.
She can wear wide belts and look magnificent.
Unlike Princess Pear.
Note to Michelle Obozo: You should take lessons from Melania on how to properly wear a wide belt. She gets it exactly right (unlike you).
That was the wife of a slain patrol officer that President Trump recognized during his speech last night. She and her daughter were guests of Melania as well as Jamil’s father and others slain by illegal immigrants. I think the tattoo commemorates her fallen husband. Tattoos are not my thing, but for some folks out here in the hinterlands, it is...
