Melania visited the border again yesterday. Since they couldn’t berate her for wearing graffiti art this time, Yahoo charged her with “channeling Jackie” – making it sound as if it was some sort of stolen fashion valor.
Today, on another trip to the U.S. border, the first lady chose a much less controversial outfit, opting instead to channel Jackie Kennedy.
Her ensemble appeared to be inspired by what Jackie wore in Greece on the day before her wedding Aristotle Onassis. While some of the details are different-Jackie's sleeves were short, and her feet, bare-the aesthetic is strikingly similar.
HMPH. I had a lunch date yesterday and I also wore white slacks and a black top, without so much as a thought given to “WWJD” (What Would Jackie Do). It’s a rather basic summer combo.
I don’t recall this ever appearing to be an allegation of inauthenticity when Lady M tried it (not nearly often enough). And please remember, there are worse things than dressing classically.
Would anyone care to guess who (or what) Lady M was channeling when she donned this outfit last week to attend a “glamorous lunch” according to the The Daily Mail?
“The former first lady looked perfectly chic for her business lunch as she dined at the Gjelina restaurant in Venice.” Seriously, Daily Mail?

“CLASS” is an alien concept for them!
Yep, Jackie is the only person the ever wear white pants with black T.
I must have missed the memo, I didn't wear the black and white yesterday. They are the primary colors in my wardrobe, however.
I can't say that I love every single thing that Mrs. Trump wears, but I don't obsess over it, either. She definitely knows how to dress and has the means to wear what she wants. I don't think she “channels” anybody.
As for Mrs. Obama, I would suggest that she find someone who can help her find the styles that look best ON HER and stick to those. I suspect that her stylists, if she has them, are like the “fashion media” and fawn over her, whatever she chooses to wear, no matter how it looks. (You look gorgeous! Not, you look like you're wearing your grandma's tablecloth).
I don't think that she has a sense of style, at all, and she needs someone who will be honest with her to help her develop that (or at least a system for choosing outfits that won't look hideous).
LOL Me too!Exactly what I wore yesterday, plus a black and white jacket! Lots of women in America have this old standard standby in their closets in addition to “the little black dress.”
Me too. Black top, white pants. Navy top, khaki pants. Mix, match, repeat. Always appropriate, always classic, always smart.
“I would love to see Melania copy a few of Michelle’s most outrageous outfits that were praised just to read the media’s reaction.”
LOL! Now, THAT would be AWESOME!
What an Elegant, Sophisticated Lady Melania is.
