After taking a tour of Les Invalides and a boat ride down the Seine, First Ladies Melania Trump and Brigitte Macron dined at the Eiffel Tower tonight—and celebrated the occasion in French labels. For Trump, that meant a custom Hervé Pierre frock, while Macron stuck with her tried-and-true formula: a mini-dress from Louis Vuitton. Both ensembles felt directional and new, with little details that stole the show.
Trump’s red, white, and blue palette nodded toward both the American and French flags on the eve of Bastille Day, France’s national day of celebration. Also symbolic was a fabric adornment meant to mimic a bouquet of wheat, the symbol of Ceres, goddess of summer. Madame Macron also nodded to plant life via the floral lace on her ’60s-style dress; the metallic threads lifted the look into evening territory. And both women finished off their looks with subdued black stilettos—a timeless option on either side of the Atlantic.

The First Lady is simply glowing in that dress.
I am glad you got a good laugh out of "Marcon's Mom".
It is only the truth ;)

It is wonderful to have a First LADY again, rather than Chewbacka as First (don’t have the right word)....

It might be just me, but I think Moochie made have had a stylist who thought it would be funny to convince her that boob belts on her would make her look svelte.

"....I wish he'd keep his suit coat closed."
I think I read somewhere that the nature of the President's bullet-proof vest (which he always wears) necessitates him keeping the buttons unclosed.
I found only one source on this subject and it states that the vest makes buttoning up very uncomfortable for him.
Perhaps someone can enlighten us a little more on this. Thanks,
Leni

I’m quite sure one of Melania’s languages is: FRENCH ..!!
Anybody know what the other four (4) are ..??
I’m sure the First Lady of France was enjoying that.

Notice in photo in #54 Melania is not wearing an interpreter’s ear bud. :-)
To: Right_in_Virginia
That’s because she speaks French, and 4 other languages.
