Melania Trump is proving to the fashion designers who said they wouldn’t help her that dressing well is the best revenge.

The first lady’s trip to Saudi Arabia, the Vatican, Belgium and Sicily — wearing mostly Dolce & Gabbana — was a fashion tour de force that has forced many naysayers in the rag trade to rethink.

The list of designers who said they wouldn’t dress Melania is long, led by Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Christian Siriano and Sophie Theallet.

But Melania has managed to look smashing in dozens of different ensembles, from her white Ralph Lauren jumpsuit on election night to the D&G 3-D floral coat she wore in Sicily on Friday.

Never posted from the site PageSix before.

If I excerpted too much, not enough or I shouldn't have at all, please tell me and I will have it fixed.

“Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Christian Siriano and Sophie Theallet”

Never heard of any of these fags before.

We have a most beautiful and stylish FLOTUS

I can’t REMEMBER the last time I had a Girl Crush on another woman...maybe Princess Diana?

That said, Melania can tell the American ‘designers’ to go pound sand! She can afford to as she looks AWESOME in ANYTHING. :)

This lady looks like a lady no matter what she wears....

[“There is a softening, a melting,” stylist Phillip Bloch told me. “Fashion people are fickle and fake. They are starting to see she is a beautiful woman who is married to the president, and it is an honor to dress her.”]

Too little too late.

I imagine the Lady would rock it, in a potato sack.

[hoosiermama]

She certainly paid tribute to her roots and the people who she has known from her career !

[Sacajaweau]

Just lovely

Funny...I'm not jealous a bit. She certainly is a good example of poise and elegance....and she has a good heart, too.

You see it most when she's working or playing with the children. I bet she prays hard EVERY day.

Designers who refuse to dress Melania are like composers who insist their songs be played on a Walmart recorder instead of on a Stradivarius.

Heard from a lib friend Melania should be wearing American brands.

Explained American brands are boycotting her.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I’ll say it again, I could dress her and you would stop in your tracks and look at her. I’d get a little sundress for $25 at Wal*Mart ... and she’d still be a show stopper.

“Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Christian Siriano and Sophie Theallet”

LOL, Well that does it! I will NOT ever buy from them again! Not ever!

[Fiddlstix]

ROTFL! Dressing well is the best revenge! Well Said!

[HiTech RedNeck]

She’d stun in Walmart threads. There’s a point where it gets ridiculous.

Those designers are kicking themselves hard right now, they let their politics get in the way of business.

First Lady Melania is a former model, she knows how to rock an outfit and light up the fashion scene. You'd think they would have remembered that because as first lady she will have no bigger audience.

[caver]

You know that you and I together probably couldn’t afford their stuff anyway. What is it, $10K - $20K an outfit?

[KC_Lion]

Perfectly said.

I think visiting The Western Wall and Vatican really left an impression on her.

This First Lady knows she has responsibilities, not self centered agendas.
