I think Melania can pull off this look because she is tall. This dress on a shorter woman would be a distraction and cut her into pieces. The dress is gorgeous with or without the hem—the hem gives it a wow effect though.
Although Melania is wisely keeping it simple without a lot of embellishments, I think some diamond earrings and maybe an elegant updo instead of her hair on the dress would have been appropriate.
Agreed! I think Melania is absolutely over-the-top classy and elegant in an updo. I know the long hair draping over the shoulders is the style, but when she had her hair done up, she was even more stunning than normal.
