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?

The White House is missing the window drapes. In the last 8 years those drapes disappeared every time Michelle came out with a new outfit.

The fashion statements Michelle will be remembered for are bust-belts and A-line skirts.

otoh, Melania made gloves and chignons fashionable again, and she’s just getting started.

IF Michelle Obama is a Fashion Icon Then that would make Rosie O'Donut A Beauty Queen!

Every time I see Michelle I picture "Johnny" from Airplane....

"Where did you get that dress, it's awful... and those shoes and that coat, jeeeeez!"

Because liberals like black liberal women better than white women. And liberals own the fashion industry.

The rest of America thinks Moochelle looks like a middle linebacker in drag.

The Wookie is much more fashionable than a beautiful woman. LOL

You boys at Forbes need to check you weed for PCP or other enhancers because you definitely have some bad weed.

Do you think that if Melania wore Moochelle’s clothes she would look just as fat? LOL, do you think Moochelle could hope to fit into Melania’s clothes? I am not sure Moochelle could fit through the door of any DC mass transit vehicle.

Makes perfect sense to me. What self respecting “style expert” isn’t queer as a three dollar bill? Now consider Moochele has that manly fashion sense about her, and it’s crystal clear.

Yeah she has about the fashion sense as Aunt Jemima. I laughed at the way the left praised her as some kind of beauty queen when she worse the frumpiest clothes a first lady has ever worn. No class.
