Hervé Pierre designed Melania’s strapless off-white silk crepe gown trimmed with black silk gazar, paired with a reproduction 1955 diamond brooch by Harry Winston, worn on a black ribbon choker.

Mrs. Trump described the gown as a testament to the originality, creativity, and craftsmanship behind American fashion.

The media says nothing about a truly beautiful gracious First Lady but pumps up a dog-faced pony soldier as one. I can’t despise the Left enough.

Melania's gown is an improvement over fashion victim Michele Obama's
inaugural gown----she looked like she was wearing a chenille bedspread.

I’ll say this compared to the other first ladies she’s on another level completely. Superior that is of course.

Biggest fashion deadend was Jill Biden

Jill's "taste" was all in her mouth.

A lot of times things that look great on a person look blah on a hanger or mannequin.

The opposite is also true.
