Melania, 47, wore a dramatic, long Gucci dress reminiscent of traditional Chinese clothing as she and her husband arrived for a state dinner hosted by President Xi Jinping

Hope, 29, donned a simple bright pink garment underneath a plain black jacket with rolled-up sleeves; she kept out of the spotlight and was only photographed from the waist up

The first lady previously wore a Dolce & Gabbana dress, earlier in the day during a visit in a primary school with her Chinese counterpart, Peng Liyuan

Melania and Hope are traveling with President Trump during his 12-day trip around Asia; they are currently in China after a start in Japan and South Korea, and will also visit Vietnam and the Philippines

The White House communications director has given Melania a run for her money in the style department, beginning on Monday when she may have upstaged the first lady by wearing a unique tuxedo at a banquet in Japan

On Wednesday, Hope once again looked notably chic in a grey turtleneck sweater as she listened to President Trump's address at the National Assembly in Seoul

Hmmm, darn... PHOTOS pulled in post 16 by admin. Copyright violation with Daily Mail?

Verbal description of post 16:

See same gown side by side in original article thread link-— Margot Robbie and Melania Trump. Melania changed dark pink fur cuff to light pink, shortened sleeve slightly, and chose light pink stilettos rather than black.

gorgeous coat! bet the libbies will plotz that she is wearing fur.

[GnuThere]

Oh! Hadn’t heard of that. Too bad.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Thank you very for these pings!

Melania looks superb - as usual.

It is a treat for America to once again have a First Lady who is a real lady.

And especially to have such a striking, elegant First Lady as Melania to represent America to the world.

Well, Hope Hicks is Donald’s communications director. Do people here expect her to wear a burlap dress with a hemp belt? Furthermore, Trump has a close working relationship with Hope and furthermore, he likes pretty wimmin. 👍

[Cobra64]

Yes, very appropriate.

Boy, I sure do not miss watching the W00kie clump around like a dump truck in high heels with his slouched posture and jutting underbite dragging his knuckles on the ground.

So help me, if he is ever elected president of America, I’m leaving.

[surrey]

How does she walk in those heels? I would have 2 broken ankles!

[katnip]

What a beautiful photo this first one is. Both of the First Ladies look elegant and gorgeous!

When you grab fro the daily mail look in the corner of the photos first...getty and afp etc. are often shown there and we can’t bring them here or they’ll sue. Generally you can find them elsewhere that is ok for here....it took me a long time to remember who we can psot and who not....the Admin. was busy then as I kept goofing up time and again!

I did see your photo though...and since formerly in the high fashion Industry i also pay attention to details.......Melania seems to always know what to do to adjust what she wears to suite her style and tastes....she determines most of the changes herself....then they work with her to get it right.

She was right to change the shoes and the sleeves for her frame and the look.....just stunning!

[caww]

Goes with her work....I use to wear them daily and on my feet all day........you learn the tricks ...one of which is always wear leather......otherwise you'll have stinging calves and end up walking crippled.....

Also the Achilles tendon gets accustomed to it.....as a result if you don't change off the heel heights frequently then it hurts to wear flats. If you note she changes shoes for these events so the change is also key. As for walking in them....just a matter of frequency of wear ...you learn to balance your body accordingly.

Apple is supposed to be working on a fix.

I’ve noticed that in addition to the A ? that I get, in my word suggestions, I am also now receiving an “I”.

Maybe since I had to delete and retype the I so many times, it’s finally offering it to me as a choice. How nice of it.

[trisham]

Beautiful!

[Jane Long]

I’ve posted to our resident Apple/iPhone expert, Swordmaker, to see if he is aware of a fix.

I’ll let you know if hear back.

[caww]

Melania does a lot of homework on the countries she's visiting.....her choice of garmets is always determined by the country she's visiting. She tends to color coordinate to the countries colors and style without loosing her own style.....
That is something ‘Ivanka’ trips on and can often choose poorly....not sure if it's her taste or that of those assisting her but she does get it wrong often. I think Ivanka is finally accepting it's not all about her as well.....she's so accustomed to being posed for photos that she often looks like that's what she's doing...and she's always looking for the cameras.

[Jane Long]

Perfection!

I just downloaded a keyboard fix, I think it worked

They have been trying to stir up the same fashion “rivalry” between Meghan Markle and the Duchess of Cambridge. It’s all nonsense, but it gets clicks.

[caww]

Keep in mind in Asian and Arab countries the beauty of a leaders wife carries a lot of weight......more respect as for them she reflects him.

American women have yet to understand this is also true here but few care to admit it.......they take the easy way out of bellowing they are what they are rather than improve themselves. ALL women can be attractive.....most are just too lazy to take the time.

Where did you find the fix to download?
