Irish-American designer Paul Costelloe said he thinks US President Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, is “probably the most glamorous since Jackie Kennedy.” He is sure that the 46-year-old Slovene American, who was once a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit supermodel will definitely influence the world of fashion as she takes on her role as first lady.
“She will set trends as First Lady. She likes strong colours that work well," Costelloe told the Irish Independent.
Since she got the spotlight as the new FLOTUS, she hasn't put a foot wrong according to Costelloe. Melania stepped into her husband’s inauguration last month in a sky blue Ralph Lauren. She wore a high-necked sheath and matching bolero in same colour, which seems to channel former FLOTUS Jacqueline Kennedy’s outfit for her husband's, Former US President John Kennedy, 1961 inauguration.
Costelloe has nothing but praises for Melania’s inauguration dress, saying he liked its colour. He thought the first lady looked comfortable in her Ralph Lauren number.
Irish Independent reported that Melania chose an exclusive design from Karl Lagerfeld for her first press conference in the White House. Lagerfeld is the creative director at both Chanel and Fendi.
Costelloe, one of the most established names in British and Irish fashion, said he thinks the FLOTUS definitely has her own individual style. Costelloe believes that among her assets are her good posture, as well as her confidence and ability to showcase a good outfit. “She was a model so she has good posture. She's certainly Donald's trophy wife, and she behaves accordingly,” she maintained.
Even Tommy Hilfiger would feel proud to dress the first lady and thinks her outfit has little to do with politics. "I think Melania is a very beautiful woman and I think any designer should be proud to dress her," he said.

Thank God we are past the Age of the Boob Belt.
only a fool would shun the opportunity... let’s see how many celebrities boycott these designers... and yes—she does have good posture, unlike the previous FLOTUS...
thanks for the compliment shmuck!!! @&&hole!!
Obviously. It’s a human upgrade over a sasquatch.
My reaction as well.
But Glam is hardly a First Lady requirement. All have played their role well, except Moose Hell.
For high fashion, Jackie and Melania have no peers.
Michele looked very good occasionally, but it seemed to be purely by accident. She had no fashion taste and was very poorly advised. This from a guy who wears a tux several times a year to perform and who’s fashion choices the rest of the time are motorcycle, scuba, or firearm T shirt today.
C’mon. Our last was centerfold in National Geographic.
Stunning! Love the purse!
I don’t think she’s a trophy wife. I sincerely believe she loves Donald and she is a lioness when it comes to their son.
Talk about damning with faint praise.
This is the truth. There is no doubt she is beautiful.
What’s even better, is that she acts like a lady, not like some Coach or Government -Nagging-Agent.
maybe Nancy Reagan, but she was already 60 ish when Ron was elected.
I’ve said it before, but I will say it again.
Michelle Obama!s biggest issue is that she could not carry off a lot of the outfits that she wore.
The jacket that Mrs. Trump has on in that picture would look atrocious on Mrs. Obama.
Probably? No kidding.
