Melania Trump’s ‘America First’ Inaugural Wardrobe
Vanessa Friedman
WASHINGTON — In the end, she checked every box.
Elegant, unexpected dress? Check. Unknown designer elevated to overnight sensation? Check. New York brand? Check. Implicit message about cooperation and embracing the melting pot? Check.
When Melania Trump took the stage with her husband, President Trump, on Friday night for the inaugural balls, she demonstrated that, while she may have been out of the spotlight since the election, she hasn’t been sticking her head in the sand. She has been closely studying the vernacular of first lady dress.
In an architectural off-the-shoulder white crepe column with a thin burgundy ribbon as a belt, a high slit and a gazar wave curving from sleeve to hip and then down the skirt, she looked — especially when compared with the younger generation of Trump women, most of whom opted for gold-tinged sparkling princess gowns — understated and adult.
Not remotely mired in the 1980s, though her husband’s look and rhetoric may be.(Typical NYT Douce comment)
