Ralph Lauren Will Reportedly Dress Melania Trump for the Inauguration

Since November, fashion designers have been debating the ubiquitous question: to dress or not to dress future First Lady Melania Trump? Ahead of this Friday's inauguration, it looks like Ralph Lauren has chosen the former.

According to WWD, the American label (Ralph Lauren himself stepped down as CEO in 2015) is reportedly working on a gown and an Inauguration Day look for the First-Lady-to-be. Throughout the presidential election, Lauren was a Hillary Clinton supporter and even designed all the pantsuits worn by the Democratic nominee at the presidential debates (along with many more along the trail).

But unlike some of fashion's other outspoken designers, it looks like Lauren will be putting politics aside and embracing bipartisanship when it comes to dressing Mrs. Trump. If so, the American brand will be the first to dress the new First Lady.

Just damn.

As soon as it was announced way back when, that nobody would dress Melania...

I Called Dibs !

Isn't dibs good for anything any more ?

I thought I called dibs! How 'bout if we coin toss to see who wins?

I wonder if they're taking job applications?

Ralph must be relieved that he won’t have to design something that is meant to hide adult diapers.

Heavy on the salt.

ok...we’ll settle it by using freeper “Since” date.

His gowns are not very diaphanous...but this might look nice on Melania.

Ralph was responsible for the Sci-Fi Emperor look? Wow...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Gawd! Look what a mess he had to work with! Melania will be a cinch!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Absolutely!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Stunning. She can definitely carry that.

[RegulatorCountry]

LOL, just an extension of those Chairman Mao collars she loves so much, I guess?

[sheana]

Yeah I’m not a Ralph Lauren fan. I can see his stuff a mile away and steer clear of it. Lol

Mrs. Trump looks just FINE to me
and she would look FINE in almost anything, and she is able to obtain whatever nice clothing she may wish

she does not need a fancy designer to “dress her”
and besides,
it should be an honor
(as well as wonderful free advertising)
for any “designer” to “dress” the First Lady of the USA

all this mass media hype about some designers not wanting the gig........ I’m sure Mrs. Trump couldn’t care less about such mixed-up people.

Diaphenous! had to look that one up. Wait - are you suggesting she wear something shear / translucent??

Works for me!!

[Ann Archy]

THAT is gorgeous, but you can’t dance in it....or can you?

[Liz]

Is this the ugliest dress ever?.... figures it's on no-taste Hillary, no less.
