•Melania Trump was spotted wearing Converse sneakers that retail for less than $50. •Michelle Obama was also a fan of wearing Converse — and Trump is no stranger to replicating her look. •Creating a more accessible style like Obama's has proved a brilliant political move for Trump.
Spotted: Melania Trump wearing a brand for the people — Converse sneakers.
The first lady donned a pair of white Chuck Taylors, which cost less than $50, during a visit to Florida in September. In November, when she hosted schoolchildren in the White House Kitchen Garden, Trump wore $65 Converse Jack Purcell sneakers.
These affordable shoes are a far cry from the $675 Christian Louboutins she wore at the Republican National Convention and the $1,150 pair of René Caovilla sandals she flaunted while doing charity work.
But this isn't the first time a first lady has worn a pair of Converse. Michelle Obama sported the accessible footwear brand at the White House Easter Egg Roll in 2016.
Trump is once again pulling a hanger from the former first lady's wardrobe. No stranger to copying Obama, Trump also replicated her affordable style when rewearing a $75 J.Crew button-down on Thanksgiving Day.
It's all part of the balance she's mastered when pairing high-fashion brands with more relatable pieces for public appearances. Swapping out high heels for All Stars is another brilliant move in her political playbook.
A recent Economist poll found that Melania Trump's approval rating has soared to 48%, increasing from the 44% favorability she held at the same time last year. She's officially taken the spot as the most popular Trump in the White House, passing President Donald Trump, whose approval rating is 43%, and the second-most-popular female Trump, Ivanka, whose approval rating slipped from 44% to 41%.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Humans do not copy sasquatch and wookies
Even worse, Melania was seen eating food and drinking fluids! Michelle did that first!!!
I’ll believe it when Melania starts dressing like the cleaning lady, which was Moochelle’s signature look. Or, some lesbo douchbag.
So, moochie is Melania’s fashion go to gal/guy? Yeah, okee dokee!

Those were not dresses worn by the First Wookie. Those were costumes and horrible ones..why she didnt wear a mask to hide her ugly butt face is beyond me.
Where. The. F.. Do. They. Dream. This. Shit. Up????
I want whatever Hillary Hoffower is drinking...she is on some serious absinthe or something
Or Klingons.
Man...these media folks are twisted...
Chewbacca’s “toned arms” don’t look that toned anymore. She’s put on at least 40 pounds since she left the White House.
I dare say that the author of this article, and all the rest who swooned over the Wookie’s “fashion sense”, will, when the political winds are appropriate, fall over themselves decrying how First Ladies are seen as nothing more than clothes horses.
I wouldn’t have let my dog copy Michelle Obama.
Because no one EVER wore Converse sneakers before Mooschelle did it!
Melania, the fashion model, would be utterly clueless were it not for trendy Mooschelle blazing the trail!
These people are so delusional...
I’ll worry when Melania starts wearing the White House curtains.
