Like nearly all the women who preceded her in the White House, First Lady Melania Trump has been on the receiving end of criticism for her appearance. Even before the inauguration, a chorus of top designers publicly refused to dress her. Then observers noticed the First Lady’s preference for foreign designers in spite of her husband’s “America First” rhetoric. And since then, she’s come under criticism for jaw-dropping sartorial decisions, including a $51,000 Dolce & Gabbana jacket that found unexpected fans at Breitbart. (Nothing says “economic nationalism” like a five-figure jacket made by Italians.) While Trump’s style has more often than not displayed an out-of-touch attitude, she’s now following a tradition familiar to most Americans: re-wearing clothes.
On Monday, Melania Trump’s official Instagram account featured a photo of the First Lady posing with White House interns, wearing a white, sleeveless Michael Kors dress that fashion observers have seen before. Trump wore the same dress in May 2016, when Donald Trump won the Indiana primary, becoming the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
This is the first time in recent memory that the public has seen Trump re-wear something, but the development places her in good company. The world’s most famous outfit repeater, Duchess Kate Middleton, is often seen in dresses, jackets, and other pieces from her archives. Former First Lady Michelle Obama re-wore a green Michael Kors dress, deploying it both at the White House and at a conference in New York. Obama even called out husband Barack recently on his ability to get away with wearing the same tuxedo for years.
Perhaps we’ll see more fashion repeats from Trump in more public spaces going forward. Maybe she’ll even wear the Dolce & Gabbana jacket one more time.
Just up in DC. Got a hoot out of watching the young, female interns doing the “bar crawl”. They loved the bar in our hotel as one point. “Dress Code”? All the same. Shift dress.....sensible heels.
Then I watched them going to work in flip flops and biz dress (hurry, hurry, hurry ) Hilarious.
Right after my two scoops of ice cream ;)

Blech!!!
Meow!
OMG. Hideous. NO IDEA about “lines” at all.
Yep...Class? None at all.
The people that notice this are filthy homos. Fashion is faggotry.
No, Melania’s pic was with East Wing WH interns, the supposed Jared leaker was from the Congressional interns.
Reminds me of a gold Buddha statue.
It’s OK with me. I don’t like too much change anyway. And really, if American designers are going to be such snobs, I’m OK with Melanie buying from a foreign designer.
The horror, the horror...
Where is your cellphone made ?
Look at the tag in your shirt, what does it say ?
Petty MSM
Maxim magazine actually named Chewbacca one of America’s Sexiest Women.
Yeah. Incredible.
So we finally get a real hottie in Melania, and what do we hear from the media phaggots?
crickets...
Why can’t she wear U.S. made clothes?
Maybe because many US designers snubbed her :(
However, I think it would be a nice idea if some of her designers could commission her gowns to be made here :)
I think there was a period of time when they were truly afraid to come out and say they would...Hilfiger was an early “yes” and one of the few...Some others have recently come on board...probably based on the rave reviews and lost business ;)
"Melania Trump spends enough on her wardrobe to feed an entire African nation!"
"Melania Trump economizes by wearing the same outfit more than once!"
