Since November, fashion designers have been debating the ubiquitous question: to dress or not to dress future First Lady Melania Trump? Ahead of this Friday's inauguration, it looks like Ralph Lauren has chosen the former.
According to WWD, the American label (Ralph Lauren himself stepped down as CEO in 2015) is reportedly working on a gown and an Inauguration Day look for the First-Lady-to-be. Throughout the presidential election, Lauren was a Hillary Clinton supporter and even designed all the pantsuits worn by the Democratic nominee at the presidential debates (along with many more along the trail).
But unlike some of fashion's other outspoken designers, it looks like Lauren will be putting politics aside and embracing bipartisanship when it comes to dressing Mrs. Trump. If so, the American brand will be the first to dress the new First Lady.
I cannot believe that we even have stories like this. Designers... actors... death threats and boycotts. What happened to you, America?
Might have a slit in back.......for movement.
No....talking about the arms....she couldn’t lift her arm in that dress from the looks of it there.
Always thought she looked like the guy who 'choose poorly' in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Nice job pointing out the deep New York roots of two self made super achievers.
Good taste you have sir! They now sell Halston on QVC. I ordered two black tunic shirts & they are very classic & well made.
So glad your wife is now home!
The slit is in the back. For her tail.
That is beautiful & simple, no gew gaws. She would look stunning. You know how to pick em’ Liz!
Melania would look better in a potatoe sack then the Chewbaca ever could in anything.
Whatever else you can say god or bad about the guy. He has one of the most fantastic car collections in the world.
A true Petrolsexual.
I would prefer any color except red.
Ralph Lauren’s son is married to a member of the Bush family. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/lauren-bush-marries-david-lauren-lauren-bush-lauren/story?id=14450227
I’m sure he dressed her but to her specifications....along with the age old question....what do elephants wear??
I’m betting Melania will be more covered than that. I picture her as an Empress....something quite regal...
She should stay with whoever is dressing here now.
I hope so. I don’t like that off-the-shoulder look. Or the one-bare-shoulder look.
Melania has been very careful with her wardrobe during all these months. She really dresses in a simple, modest elegant style. She will make us proud.
She would look stunning in a $9 off the rack dress from Target!
I don’t know if I would trust a Hillary supporter to design her dress. Maybe if Donald brought in top designers from Europe to supervise him and have final say.
Think about the success of this man. I, for one, can not imagine how someone can become so successful being a “designer” of fashion. That’s awesome.
NOW, the libs are going to be out to destroy him and his business empire because he dare collaborate with the Trumps.
I actually have a yacht and.....no. Lol
