Melania Trump attended the Ford’s Theatre Annual Gala alongside President Trump in Washington on Sunday.

For the gala, the first lady wore a $2,595 crepe draped gown from Filipino designer Monique Lhuillier‘s 2017 resort collection.

She paired the glamorous floor-length silk gown, which featured a front knot at the waist and cape back detailing, with Manolo Blahnik pumps — also reverting to her signature hairstyle.(snip)

Michelle Obama was often photographed in the luxe label during her time in the White House.

Love it. Michelle looked pretty good in that dress, until it's compared to Melania in a dress by the same designer.

FWIW, I've never been one to express total disdain for Michelle fashion. I like that she sometimes has fun with fashion risks. I also like, a lot, that the Michelle effect has women and girls much more likely to wear a dress. Females just seem to look and act more feminine and pretty when we wear a dress. JMHO

Which is which?

I guess Melania got a discount because she used 50% less fabric and the designer didn’t throw up near as much during the fittings.

Prom dress vs evening gown.
That is all

A personal take away from this tidbit:

MO knows good fashion sense, she just fails to use what she knows.

Melania, as always, looks stunning. At this point - STOP. (period)

She has no waistline and that dress is tight and structured at the waist. Bad choice. Also, black women can wear very dynamic colors (certain greens and orange) that don’t become white women - so she picks pink??

The Mooch looks like Marshawn Lynch in drag.

I don’t think the gown flatters Melania at all. I would call this one of Melania’s rare fashion “misses.”

Melania looks as great as always-fashionably well dressed like Nancy Reagan was-and Michelle looks like she is wearing shiny pink food wrap...

MO’s dress is very pretty in my opinion - but of course MO’s odd body is hard to deal with. Lady Melania could wear anything (or nothing) and look better than anyone else.

Well...maybe Sophia Loren at the height of her beauty could outdo MT although it might be a draw.

What an awful choice that dress is. An orange sheath would have been better.

Well, she did class it up with a matching flower.

Trump can afford it, he made his money honestly, it is not being paid for by taxpayers.

Howcum a gown by the same designer, on Melania looks elegant, and gorgeous, and sublime; while the one they put on Moochie looks like a couple of people held her still, while some others decked her out in a couple of rolls of Saran wrap? As a dumb old male chauvinist pig, I’m confused.

Ah, a still from the epi that doomed the already-in-decline "Iron Chef America".

I didn't watch it, and the reviews acknowledged I didn't miss anything but propaganda.

MO’s odd body...... That just illustrates the folly of trying to camouflage a man’s body in a woman-shaped dress.
