Putting aside any takes on the startling MAGA comeback across the pond, there can be no denying that the returning FLOTUS, Melania Trump, was ripe for fashion analysis — be it for better or worse.
No one knows what the thinking was behind her whacking-great shades and drawn on, icy smile, but we all bore witness to a woman who knows how to get dressed. This is a former model and high society darling who was once the toast of the Met Gala and New York Fashion Week’s front row, after all.
Today, as her husband Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris and was elected president, she opted for a double-breasted grey, wool skirt suit which extended just over the knee. What was she trying to say? Unlike some of the highlighter hues she has become known for, this time a touch of sophistication (and a willingness to slip, presentably, into the background) was preferred. And just like the polka dot dress she wore to vote earlier that day, the outfit is said to be from Dior — though it has not been confirmed by the Parisian house.
Hervé Pierre is the man behind ther look. The former creative director at Carolina Herrera began working with her upon her entry to the White House, after designing her inauguration gown and later helping her with her dressing, in what became his first styling job.
Many top luxury houses refuse to dress her, which means a great deal of what she wears is purchased — unlike many of the global leaders and their partners. Pierre’s services do not come cheap, either. (snip)
Much like the late Queen Elizabeth II Trump well understands the impact one bold, bright colour can achieve — certainly when sartorially speaking to thousands.

That repulsive hag Jill can’t come close yet Jill was on the cover of Vogue. Wonder if they’ll stiff Melania again.
Women will google her attire. Knockoffs will sell out. She will be the most popular ever.
Beautiful pics!
Oh please
They want to pretend it’s all good
They’ve dragged her and her family through hell
I liked the stilettos while holding a shovel. Only gracious Melania could actually pull that off.
But speaking of Jill, these people think through all the details. I choose to believe that her MAGA red outfit in Election Day was to send a message
I’ve never seen anything ‘eyebrow raising’ in Melania’s dress. She has always looked elegant and appropriately dressed with a stunning sense of style.
(I would suggest different shoes for walking on the grass; but those are just ‘photo ops’ anyway; it’s not like she’s actually planting trees.)

Melania is so much easier to look at than Jill. A good portion of Melania’s good looks is how she dresses. A good portion of Jill’s ugliness is how poorly she dresses.
I understand Melania’s gowns at Mar-a-Lsgo had the labels slit out of them with scalpels/scissors.
BY THE FBI.
Yeah.. and don’t forget Big Mike Obama..
Wow, that white, semi-bridal dress on Camilla, just awful!
I have a feeling that we might see her on magazine covers this time around, now that it’s clear that the majority of people gave DJT a mandate. (But maybe not.) And maybe she’ll just tell them to eff off if asked.
They wouldn’t dare ask. She should refuse and let them know they are not relevant
Since this is not a commercial website, you can post any Getty images you wish.......
Good point and you are correct. Still, hope they ask so she can do just that.
“Since this is not a commercial website, you can post any Getty images you wish.......”
I’ve had threads pulled because I posted Getty images. Just saying.
Her style has a touch of the vintage circa the mid 1960’s. Vintage shops will sell out once women notice.
My closet is full of vintage dresses from the thirties through the eighties.
Just FYI (down at the bottom of the post)
“do not post images from Corbis or Getty.”
