I am really happy that you posted a story about Melania’s trip, BUT this article is awful.

The articles I read, particularly one that quoted Dr Naomi Braithwaite, associate professor in fashion and material culture at Nottingham Trent University, were extremely complementary of here.

These fashion idiots in the article you posted missed all the subtle and not to subtle dressing signs that Melania threw out there.

1. Wide brim hat that covers the eyes, and color matches her husband’s. The attention whould be on him, not me. So, she hides the eyes.
2. Burberry Trench
3. Christian Dior
4. At the state banquet, Trump wore a butter yellow off-the-shoulder evening gown with a contrasting pink belt by American designer Carolina Herrera.

The silhouette is rarely seen in royal settings. Dr Braithwaite called it “quite unusual at a royal event […] but she looked wonderfully stylish.”

The dress balanced glamour and discretion: not ostentatious, not overly revealing, but unmistakably elegant. “It’s slightly subverting the expectation in a royal setting – but doing it in a Melania way,” says Dr Braithwaite.

5. During a trip to the Royal Library at Windsor Castle on day two of the state visit, Trump wore a caramel leather suit by French designer Louis Vuitton.

Her design choices appear to be saying: I can do regal without being royal.

Political blinders aside, all of FLOTUS’ other looks on the UK trip were widely praised by fashion critics, and this was the only polarizing or “risky” choice. Yet it’s precisely this one that is the most signature “Melania” given the context. :)

I think the difference between Melania-1 and Melania-2 (other than being seen in public less)is that, for the most part, she has taken herself out of the Vogue bullseye. Her clothing has been neutral and staid, mostly black (almost as if she is in mourning). Who can criticize that? She is also wearing clothing that reflects an image of all-business, that which an executive woman should wear. Few brights, more somber. This yellow dress was definitely a fashion-forward message and the previous night's red was MAGA, elegant, and, as usual, knocked everyone's socks off.

The colors of the last Trump term were bright like Jackie Kennedy's. This time, more dark neutrals and lots of hat-messaging.
