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.

Sorry, clearly a click bait.

Like previously anything negative Sarah Palin.

I’m not going to fall for it.

WHAT!!!!

Melania Trump is a lot like Jackie Kennedy, fashion-wise. Michelle obama--until she found her "stride"--looked cheap and frumpy no matter how expensive her wardrobe was. When she finally got someone who could "dress" her, she still came nowhere up to the level of Jackie Kennedy, Melania Trump, etc.

PHOOEY, anyway!!!!

Michelle Obama had no sense of personal style the entire time she was in the White House. If she had, she wouldn’t have worn so many weird things that did her no favors. There were a few occasions when she did look good and you could tell that the woman knew it and enjoyed the feeling. She just had no idea why.

Melania Trump has been a model and has even had a hand designing some of her own clothes prior to now. Her step daughter has her own clothing line. She’s very well traveled and has been married to a billionaire for over a decade, living in the very best part of Manhattan. Of course she has a personal style, is completely confident in her choices and knows without question what will both look good on her and be appropriate to the occasion.

Why all these news articles are attempting to claim otherwise for obviously political reasons is just too weird, but it’s been Emperor’s New Clothes weird regarding Michelle Obama from the very outset. They’re trying to make a fashion icon out of her but are only managing to make an even bigger spectacle out of the more comical misjudgments during her fashion reign of error, all of which were at the hands of that female designer who refused to work with Melania Trump, whatever her name was. I suspect the feeling is mutual, though. Can you even imagine Melania in one of those boob belt deals or the clown suit looking stuff? I can’t.

If you like your boob belt, you can keep your boob belt.

Some times I read titles of threads and chuckle. This was one of those times. Now going back to the thread to look at pictures that will certainly be posted.
