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.

Well played, Sir! Post of the month!

Fortunately, I don’t have to buy a new keyboard - no drinks within reach.

Please, Dear Lord; don’t let Melania become a fashion icon anything even close to Moochelle. I can’t recall ever seeing her in an outfit that I’d escort to a dogfight.
Thank you. Amen.

I absolutely loved the gloves. Reminds me of getting dressed up for church on Easter Sunday when I was a little girl.

Well, an icon in its original meaning was a religious artwork, usually of Christ, Mary or the Saints. The left worships the Obamas like gods, so I guess the article is correct.

I think Melania should dress in versions of the same outfits that Michelle did. The side-by-side comparisons would be priceless, since you know that Melania would look stunning in any of the potato sacks that Michelle wore.

Hey, they are right! I think Michelle 0bama was fashion icon for hood rats everywhere. I am very sure Melania will not be a fashion icon LIKE Michelle 0bama. She will a fashion icon for the civilized part of the nation

All the drapes that went hiding over the last 8 years can now come out again, free from fear of being transformed.
