Hope Hicks was a fashion hit after sporting a chic black-and-white tuxedo during President Trump’s state dinner with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.
The 29-year-old White House communications director earned raves for her look, which many called “edgy” and “sexy.”
Hicks softened her look with feminine pink lipstick, smoky eye makeup, and flowing brunette locks.
Some media outlets tried to play up a faux rivalry by claiming Hicks had “upstaged” First Lady Melania Trump, who wore an elegant red evening gown.
But the truth is, they both looked gorgeous. The pictures don’t lie.
Hope Hicks was named White House communications director in September 2017 after a brief stint as the WH director of strategic communications. Despite being a PR executive, Hicks has deliberately shunned press interviews, is not active on social media, and does not even have a Twitter account.
Before joining the Trump administration, Hicks — who was briefly a teen model during her youth — did public relations work for Ivanka Trump’s successful fashion line.
The “confusion” is often spewed by liberals trying to discredit Hicks’ qualifications by suggesting she’s merely eye candy in the Trump WH. You know, because a woman can’t be smart and beautiful.
Meanwhile, Hicks was a sensation on Twitter, where many gushed about the brunette stunner.
Some liberals joked that Hope was trying to “emasculate” Trump’s inner circle by upstaging them in stylish menswear. Um, okay.Another said something that many scientific studies indicate is true: “Conservative women are gorgeous.”
Gorgeous . . . It’s nice to see femininity return to the White House instead of Obama’s husband Michael and the other so-called women.
With apologies but it makes her look like wait staff...
” femininity “
Femininity would be a dress not a Tux!
Done right, a tux can be very feminine.
And in this case it’s done right.
Hope is much prettier than model Hilary Rhoda.
The audacity of Hope.
I do not like the look. She looks predatory and “look at me” which imo is poor taste at a State Dinner for President and Mrs. Trump.
Heck of a lacrosse player too!
She can wait on me anytime......................
That is class. She is wearing black tie after 7:00 pm and is wearing an “informal” tuxedo. Much better than a slinky cocktail dress.
Exactly. If it was supposed to be cool & attractive it bombed by me.
A woman dressed in men’s clothes. How novel.
I see it as drawing attention to herself at an event where she should have been low key. Whether intentional or not, a big mistake on her part, IMHO. Is there a place and time that it would have been fitting for her to wear such an outfit? Possibly. But this was most definitely not it.
By the way, I think she looks very nice, striking. But not appropriate here, not a state dinner with the POTUS and FLOTUS as guests of honor.
Hope is on the way!
