Melania Trump Is Fashionable, But She's Unlikely To Become A Fashion Icon Like Michelle Obama

Today, America gets a new First Lady. She’s beautiful – a former model! – with an impeccable wardrobe and the money to buy all the couture she wants. So why, when President Trump and his family are long out of the White House, and his administration is enshrined in the annals of history, will Michelle Obama – a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view – be remembered as the more iconic of the two?

It’s simple. Becoming an icon is about more than just a pretty face and an international platform.

Yep, “Big Mike” the fashion icon with hips as wide as an axe handle.

yeah, but in defense of Mrs. Obama....she could probably beat most men in an arm wrestle.

Someone told her after those early pictures that she needed to look decent when she got off AF1. She had no idea.

I think she had a pretty good stylist for the last couple of years that told her to wear simple pretty clothes instead of all that trash she wore in the first 6 years. All the hair dos were also atrocious.

According to Forbes,
every teenage boy in
America is going to have
a pinup of the Moose
on their bedroom walls.
When I was a teenager,
Ursula Andres, or Goldie
Hawn....

So true. The more they write ridiculous pieces like this, the more biased and irrelevant they look.

I’m hoping there will be a special memorial built for Joan Rivers who dared to speak out about the truth of the first semi-lady.

I read the title and thought it was satire.

The Boob Belt Wookie, a fashion icon?

In Planet of the Apes, maybe.

I get to say it again :)

These people eat their own turds and try to tell us how good it tastes.

good golly her custom fashion designers must have really hated her- they were probably laughing their derrières off after they convinced her it was a ‘hot look’ and she bought it hook line and sinker- probably saying “I never thought she’d fall for it- and wear it in public no less- bahahahahaha!”

It's her answer to grace and poise.

She's just starting to get into the Three Point Stance. You know she plays Left Guard for the Bears.

this is the ol “black quarterback” thing....the media keeps “pushing” a narrative they know is not true...i guess out of some kind of pity. Melania Trump simply stunned on inaugeration day....her pictures are already iconic and will forever be seen as such. She was amazing.

I have seen goats dressed up for a costume class for the kids at a County Fair that looked better than MOOOOCHELLE.
