Melania Trump Is Fashionable, But She's Unlikely To Become A Fashion Icon Like Michelle Obama
forbes ^ | 20JAN17 | Rachelle Bergstein , CONTRIBUTOR

Today, America gets a new First Lady. She’s beautiful – a former model! – with an impeccable wardrobe and the money to buy all the couture she wants. So why, when President Trump and his family are long out of the White House, and his administration is enshrined in the annals of history, will Michelle Obama – a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view – be remembered as the more iconic of the two?

It’s simple. Becoming an icon is about more than just a pretty face and an international platform.

This look is a little better. Yes, the outfit is nothing special, but she is definitely not guilty.

When Michael comes out of the closet it will be very embarrassing for these people.

PS...LIMIT THE SIZE IF POSTED PICTURES SO WE CAN READ THESE THREADS ON A TABLET.

Forbes likes posting fake news.

We have not had such a beautiful first lady so beautifully dressed in the White House since Jackie Kennedy.

Yeh nobody wears a boob belt like Mooch. LOL!

That's Queen Moochie's unique signature fashion style.
It's subtle accessorizing like this that makes Moochie a true fashion icon.

To some they look like WWA Prize belts, to others they look suspisiously like ammunition belts.
Many see them as Klingon Death Belts.

But they all make her look like an escapee from the Clown Factory.

All the drapes that went hiding over the last 8 years can now come out again, free from fear of being transformed.

Probably the method to “her” madness was kind of like what one does in the military. “She” could slink along the perimeter of the room unobservedly camouflaged, to unexpectedly pounce anywhere anytime in the middle of any room.

Say what you will, but I’ve always been impressed with the Mooches “old-style” booty.
You know, the kind of booty where you can set your beer bottle while slow dancing and not worrying about spilling any.

The kind you can throw a saddle on and tske her for a ride around town.

Just look at Michelle’s Inauguration dress! It looked like a house dress! It must have been made from a tablecloth!

Probably smells like cat "p" too.

Check out

Just amazing someone would design this ugly blouse/dress, and that anyone would wear it.

A windmill blouse! I wonder if it came with a string she could pull to make it spin?

Joan Rivers certainly thought so. And she was killed because of it.
