FLOTUS Fashion [Melania Only]

Is Barron taller than Melania??

No, but he is getting there.  My grandson is the same age and firmly in the middle of the growth chart.  Barron is obviously tall.

[Right_in_Virginia]

No. He's in the foreground in both shots, which gives him that appearance. Give him time, he likely will be.

I don't know ... if he'd stand up straight (he reminds me so much of my brother at that age ...   ^-^ ), I think he is ....

Note a couple of things. Even here, Barron is in the foreground. The camera is looking upward, so those in the foreground appear to be taller than those in the background, Donald and Melania are roughly the same distance from the lens. The appearance is that Barron is taller than he is. I would say that flat footed (no shoes) they are close, and he will be taller than she is. But, bottom line, she's Mom, and that won't matter.

Yeah .. she's wearing these shoes with the yellow dress ...

But you're right, she's Mom ... however tall he grows.

Full length shot.  Barron is definitely tall  --  not so sure taller than his mom because she's usually in stilettos. Love her casual but classy look ... and she's wearing her favorite color.

Melania looks fabulous as usual. I wonder if Barron is dressing up due to the nasty press comments. If so, that is too bad.

I remember how shocking it is when you have to look up at your children. I'm 5'9" and my boys grew tall.

That's the gospel truth.  Four of my boys are taller than I, and the fifth one isn't very far behind.  They still know that when Mom speaks, it would behoove them to pay attention.

Yes, Barron is pretty darn close, Melania is wearing glossy ballet flats.

He is close, but some picture tricks (try them some time). Barron is closer to the camera (see how the shadows line up). That makes him look taller. The camera is at knee to mid-thigh level, looking up, which exaggerates the effect and makes him look taller still. Mom is still taller. The camera effects make them look closer in height.

Glad to see Melania wearing flats.  Give those poor feet a break. :-)
She's gorgeous in whatever she wears.

All hands to the pumps! Melania wears some VERY unsuitable stiletto heels and ankle-skimming pants as she joins Donald to visit rain-soaked Texas as deadly flood waters continue to rise



Hopefully she will change her shoes when she gets to Texas

She should have been wearing some kick**s boots.  But, they she probably would have been mocked for that too, but they would have been more appropriate.

I hope they are on AF1

Update...no photos yet but she did change into some sneakers

Relax folks ...   We know Melania always changes on the plane.   

Landing in Texas in white tennis shoes and a black cap with FLOTUS written on it.  Maybe now it's time to pounce on the "FLOTUS" on her cap.

Seriously.  I can't believe people are so dang petty.  The President looks darn classy too I might add and so does the FLOTUS.  Yes, the liberal idiots are going to make snide remarks regardless of what they do and what they wear.  For heaven's sake, Melania could wear a black plastic garbage bag and still make herself look presentable (unlike the former FLOTUS I might add)!

I couldn't capture the photo, but here's a pic of Melania in tennies for pete's sake!!!!

Good (thank you) you were able to capture the photo. I might add, FLOTUS looks darn good!  So ... I wonder what they are going to criticize her for next?  Wearing tennis shoes instead of boots?  Wearing white tennis shoes?  Give me a break!

[libertybele]

So ... why is it that the picture of her in tennis shoes now are few and far between??

[Right_in_Virginia]

I like that the President left the plane from the back of the plane ... without the usual fanfare.

Nice to see that Gov. Abbott was there to meet them.

[libertybele]

Sad.  Just about every news outlet is focusing on the stilettos; some are acknowledging the change into tennis shoes but continue to focus on why she felt it necessary to wear stilettos in the first place and then change stating that obviously she wasn't prepared to pitch in and help, etc., etc.  etc.  Yes, they are making fun of the FLOTUS ball cap as well. Let's see ... just days before her son was criticized for not being dressy enough and now she's being criticized for being too dressy. Oh boy!

Of course they are @libertybele ... she's beautiful even in a ball cap  ^-^
