Glowing in green: Melania Trump is the epitome of chic in a $2,000 dress as she smiles and [tr]

Melania Trump was the picture of a supportive first lady on Thursday morning, when she joined her husband at a National Day of Prayer service in the Rose Garden.

The 49-year-old mother-of-one happily held President Donald Trump's hand as they made their way out into the open area from the White House, and she stood by his side as he addressed attendees, which included several victims of last weekend's California synagogue shooting.

Embracing the warmer spring weather, Melania chose to go bare-legged and bare-armed for the service, wearing an elegant forest-green $2,010 sleeveless Emilia Wickstead dress that was cinched in at her waist by a thin belt.

Ultra fox.

Thank goodness we don’t have Big Bertha wearing sneakers and army boots, cutoff jeans, in the White House anymore.

[proud American in Canada]

Beautiful. A real vision.

[jmacusa]

My God, what a woman!

[proud American in Canada]

Yes. Beauty and brains.

[proud American in Canada]

I don’t think so. I know both of their jobs are very stressful. But they seem to count on each other. The whole experience might actually be bringing them closer.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It always seems any nice and praising article on our lovely First Lady is out of the UK. You never see a kind word in the US press. Jealous bast*rds.

[Texas resident]

Our country’s media was always gushing over Mooshelle.

Bad vision I guess.

[marajade]

Kinda snarky. Supportive wife. Mother of one.

Melania is smart, elegant, and grace. How refreshing.

[muggs]

I hope you are right. I would love to be wrong.

[Joe Boucher]

Why is it this has to come from an English News outfit?
Because our main stream media has it out for anything Trump.
Instead the MSM kisses up to Horses ass Mrs. Obammy, (the chick with a dick)?

[tillacum]

I love her shoes.

[contrarian]

I agree.,, the shoes are beautiful like the woman wearing them but good grief, that has to throw all the foot bones in a bind and set her up for degenerative arthritis. She is just as beautiful in flats..

The Daily Mail doing the journalism the Americans won’t do.

This might be the first article EVER that the DM has run that ISN'T bashing Trump or Melania. Melania had to sue them for libel a couple of years ago, and she won; but it hasn't stopped the relentless hate campaign. Only the utter and complete failure of their parilament to accomplish Brexit, and the UK people's loathing of the vain, showboating American grifter who married Harry, seem to be shutting up their constant sniping at our President.

I’m guessing that tastes have changed over the 200+ years in women. I expect James Madison or one of those might view her as a waif, and working out in the fields with that tanned, toned skin.

James Madison's wife Dolley was considered absolutely the most beautiful and stylish First Lady ever, importing her Empire-waist gowns from France, until Jackie Kennedy. Since then, it is clearly Melania in the stunningly beautiful category, outstripping Jackie in both natural looks and clothing style.

You may be correct about the tanned skin, however; but thanks must be given to modern sun screen products. Most Americans are deficient in Vitamin D unless they get a lot of real sunshine; and many cannot tan and have to take supplements. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to many other diseases, such as cancer.

It's also worth noting that Dolley Madison, although one of the most innovative First Ladies in American history, fell into poverty after she was widowed due to her wastrel son from her first marriage, and had to sell Montpelier, the beautiful Madison estate, which is only lately being restored to its original construction. A few years back I toured the restoration site and stood in the room where James Madison wrote most of the Constitution. It was stripped down to lath and brick; but the window overlooked a magnificent view in the central Virginia rolling hills—most inspiring. It's probably been all finished by now. Looking forward to going back to Montpelier to see the progress with the interior reconstruction.

Thank you for that beautiful post.

We have visited Mount Vernon....even being allowed to climb up into the copula and see the original pieces of wood/boards that Geo Washington, himself, hammered into place.

Not sure if the glass panes were original, up there, but they looked like they could be!

I would LOVE to visit Montpelier, as well.

re: High heels, remember that Melania is 5'11" and slender with long feet—her shoe size is 10 or 10.5—making it easier for her to manage a four-inch heel than it would for someone 5'4" with a size 7 foot. Jackie Kennedy supposedly also wore a size 10 or 11 shoe, although she was much shorter (5'7") than Melania. Jackie rarely wore towering heel—it wasn't the style then, nor were shoemakers of the 60s yet using the one-piece steel supports inside the arch and heel that today keep high heels from breaking. Being taller, Melania's foot in a 4" heel size seems more in proportion to her body than Jackie's on a shorter frame.

I would guess that Louboutin has Melania's own personal shoe lasts on which to construct her shoes for maximum fit and "comfort".

Still can't imagine wearing such high heels myself, and haven't done so since college balls (where we usually ended up taking them off after a few dances), but Melania has accustomed her leg muscles over her many years of modeling to do the seemingly impossible.

I would like to see their marriage last but I wouldn’t be surprised if they divorce as soon as President Trump is out of office.

Having watched The Donald since the early 70s, I would be very surprised. His first two marriages had fatal flaws. This time, it's become clear that the main flaw is his; I think he adores Melania and would try very hard to atone, to reform, to be grateful for her extraordinary grace in her role as First Lady, and to keep her until the end of his life.

She is shy and domestic in her way, and didn't spread herself dating and clubbing all over New York and Milan before she met him. After the way the press has treated her, and seeing the train wreck both of his former wives have made, flailing about after their divorces and never finding another stable partner, it is highly unlikely that Melania would throw herself on the meat market and the glare of publicity as a divorcée unless Donald just really messes up again very publicly.

Even the Stormy Daniels thing was 13 years ago. He is really bonded to Melania now, seeing how she has stood up to monstrous lies and attacks. Who else could have done that, and whom else could he share his memories with after leaving the White House? They will still have higher education for Barron and his eventual marriage to look forward to, plus all of his present grandchildren growing up and hitting milestones.

How bizarre that they refer to her more than once as the “mother of one.” It has nothing to do with the event; it would be different if it were an event for mothers, or on Mother’s Day.
Awesome shoes.
