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

I thought Usha’s gown was gorgeous. I also loved her pink ensemble. Christian Dior I believe.

Great retrospective fashion insights in there. My only fashion insights have to do with McDonald’s uniforms and the like.
