Fashion Notes: Melania Trump Begins New Year of Style in Chanel Jumpsuit
Breitbart ^ | 1/7/2019 | John Binder

Posted on 01/08/2020 4:30:26 AM PST by simpson96

First Lady Melania Trump kicked off a new year of her iconic style, carefully crafted with friend Hervé Pierre, in a timeless jumpsuit that continues to draw on the original aesthetic of 1970s Celine.

Melania Trump, alongside President Trump, welcomed Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his wife Mareva Grabowski-Mitsotakis to the White House on Tuesday, opting for a black and white checkered tweed jumpsuit by Chanel cinched with a thick leather black belt.

The extra-wide leg pant legs of Mrs. Trump’s jumpsuit billowed over a pair of Christian Louboutin black suede boots and the top pockets were fastened with the French fashion house’s famous Chanel logo.

A new year for Mrs. Trump means a new year of a stylish wardrobe that, as of late, has harked back heavily to the early fashions of Celine in the 1970s where women were clad in blouses, slim checkered pleated skirts, and scarfs tied around their necks.

It’s the sort of aesthetic that may remind Mrs. Trump of her own mother’s wardrobe from her childhood in Slovenia.

Not sure that “ Slovenian chic’” comment was meant in a flattering way

Thanks for the ping, dear KC.

Our beautiful FLOTUS is one of FEW women, who can pull off wearing a thick, tweed, black and white, large plaid.

She wears it, perfectly!

Not showing my age or anything, but didn’t we use to call those “gaucho” pants?

This poster at Breitbart summed it up nicely:

“ColoradoChloe to: WiffIely • 12 hours ago

Yes she does Wifflely.

My husband was surprised at the attention I have been giving to our lovely First Ladies clothing, hairstyle and makeup.

He told me that I had not shown much interest in any of that before.

I told him it was all I could do to try and ignore the news of Michelle Obama clumping and clomping from one fashion disaster to another.

I tuned out ALL the news of that forgettable woman.”

Michelle or Hillary would look like a moving restaurant table.

I agree. While it’s not my favorite, she carries it off. Not many women could.

I believe that everything she wears is very carefully chosen. You could tell that in her pictures showing off the White House Christmas decorations. The outfit she wore was, IMO, absolutely perfect (and criticism of her coat was ridiculous). She looked great but so did the decorations- if she’d worn something different, it would have upstaged them.

I suspect that she has excellent taste as well as excellent advice. (I always wondered if whoever “styled” Mrs. Obama didn’t secretly hate her, and tried to see just how outrageously she could be persuaded to dress.)
