Melania Trump Nowhere In Sight on Trip to Vietnam
Hollywood Life ^ | NOVEMBER 12, 2017 2:37PM | Jason Brow

While the cat’s away… Hope Hicks has been accused of stealing the spotlight from Melania Trump while the president visited Asia. Well, as Melania headed home, Hope busted out another eye-catching outfit in Vietnam!

Winter might be settling in throughout the northern hemisphere, but Hope Hicks, 29, was a springtime vision when she arrived at the Vietnamese presidential palace on Nov. 12,. The White House communications director wore a flirty, fun dress with puffy sleeves and a very elegant floral print. To complement this lovely look, Hope had her hair pulled back into a bun, appearing as if she was almost wearing a crown. With a pair of braids and a set of high-heel pumps that could have come out of Melania Trump’s shoe closet, Hope once again was a fierce fashionista.

Speaking of the First Lady, Melania, 47, didn’t make the trip to Vietnam. Her third and final appearance on President Donald Trump’s Asia tour was in Beijing, China, according to CNN. That may be good news for fans of Hope’s fashion. The longtime Trump aide became a huge sensation with her choice of outfits during this Asia trip – and sometimes, it seemed as if she was stealing Melania’s thunder. Uh-oh.

Hope first caught everyone’s attention with her decision to rock a stylish tuxedo at a state dinner in Tokyo. Hope’s choice of an androgynous outfit for the Nov. 6 event was a bold choice, one that seemingly upstaged the First Lady’s elegant floor-length gown. When Melania donned a black outfit for her time in South Korea, Hope was back at it again. Trump’s PR specialist got people buzzing with her puffy turtleneck and cascading hair.

Trump is on a five country trip through Asia traveling to Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines Trump , Hanoi, Vietnam - 12 Nov 2017

The South Korea stunt seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Hope seemed to dress down while in China. Melania was absolutely stunning in her floral print gown (and excellent fuzzy sleeves. Work it, Melania!) Meanwhile, Hope looked like she was going to pick up the kids from soccer practice. The downgrading fashion choices continued on the tarmac, as Hope wore a baggy top with her hair in a messy up-do. With Melania not completing the rest of Trump’s 12-day trip, does this mean Hope is free to wear whatever she wants? How will things work out back at the White House?

I don’t believe any spouses were included in Vietnam or the PI, so it seems the author is trying to make something out of nothing.

Melania dazzled from Japan to Alaska.

Melania went from China to Alaska and then home. She did not go to Vietnam or PI.

Hollywood Life is now close to plagiarizing the Daily Mail with their Hope drama! More fake news. Next it’ll be...”Melania headed home after catfight!”

Jason Brow has an unnatural interest in women’s clothing. And his feeble attempt to suggest there is conflict between the First Lady and Miss Hicks is ludicrous. He ought to be writing about the pedophiles being outed in Hollywood.

They wrote that up to make it seem like more than it was. Actually pretty conservative by most standards.

Fake News again. There is no way Hope Hicks can take eyes away from Melania. I don’t think Hicks has the same kind of class. Observations from an Old Geezer.

Hope rocks whatever she’s wearing and is an amazing complement to our gorgeous FLOTUS.
