Well, a happy president is a good president :)

[Fungi]

Beautiful! Screw Vogue!

That was Melania’s ‘rebuke’, that she had a dress made which used a design from the 1950’s? Sometimes, an outfit is just an outfit. Melania has always shown good taste in clothing for special occasions.

The only memorable gown was Michelle Obama’s black widow

I remember the Mooch with her pickup truck wide rear end and yoga pants and rhinestone converse tennis shoes. Hitlery looked like a bag lady, and dr jill dressed in shower curtains.

It's nice to have a First Lady who looks like a First Lady.

[SpaceBar]

She looks great. The media have to over-analyze everything.

[llevrok]

Classically elegant. Now window drapes for her!

[redfreedom]

It doesn’t matter what Melania wears. She will always outclass lib skanks like Jill, Big Mike or Hitlery.

That was Jill Biden in purple?

I thought it was Barney.

[Delta 21]

Yowzers! Thats another bump to the top for our First Lady.

Earlier in the day.

She’s right up there with Princess Catherine. Pretty good company.

The white gown with the black slashes seemed to me a stylized depiction of Trump’s signature on an EO. So I liked it. The inaugural hat — I think hats are generally flattering but that one hid her beautiful eyes.

She is absolutely, stunningly beautiful. European woman know how to dress. They know how to look like a woman.

Melania always looks great. I agree with others that she kind of kept herself 'under wraps' during the day and then let loose for the balls.

Yesterday was actually the LEAST offensive Jill Brandon has ever looked. Still a bit frumpy, though it was nice of her to bring her GRANDPA along for the festivities.

[Organic Panic]

The classless are upset she wasn’t wearing a dress made from flowered furniture upholstery with a huge boob belt.

i dont know... I personally dont find it flattering...

I thought Melania’s gown was lovely, very chic and very modern. The choker with the brooch was gorgeous, and very, very few women could pull that look off. Really did remind me of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. (of course, now I have the Ascot song in my head)

I had a mixed reaction to the hat. I imagine it was originally intended for an outdoor raised venue, but the angles of the indoor camera did not do it justice. When you looked from slightly below, her eyes were visible. I was hoping she would take it off for the luncheon and review, but perhaps it was pinned on in a way that made that difficult. I loved the coat dress (again, a look very few women can pull off well), and I did wonder if the buttoned-up, severe look was intended to make a “don’t tread on me” type statement.

I thought Ivanka’s retro-tribute gown was stunning ... Usha Vance’s also was perfect for her... it reminded me of a peacock feather, it seemed to change color with the light, sparkly but not in a cheap, over-flashy way

[pax_et_bonum]

Unlike stepdaughter Ivanka Trump's flowery overreach – settling upon an exact copy of Audrey Hepburn's 1954 Givenchy gown from the film Sabrina – Melania's choice was a subtle homage to mid-20th century fashion.

Oh, please.

Both dresses were lovely.
