FLOTUS Melania Fashion

At Walter Reed today:

As tall as she is, I am surprised that she chooses to wear 4" stilettos most times. The exude femininity, but ouch!

@Right_in_Virginia

I missed this one somehow.  Love that short trench coat.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Speaking of dreadful. Those look like cheap plastic garbage from China.

ROFL  @Frank Cannon   .... you have a great eye for fashion .... the shoes are exactly that!!   

In my own defense, I was (sorry ... I'm still LOL and finding it hard to type) .... I was going for color and flair. 

 

[Right_in_Virginia]

They look neon to me....I know they can't be, but in that light, it's how they come off.

Methinks they were pretty neon @CatherineofAragon ... here are two other pictures and they seem to be glowing there, too.

Me too!

These would have been perfect for the white "twirl" dress:

Rule of thumb:  A model is never too tall @libertybele      And how Melania (or anyone) wears them everywhere is a mystery to me!  If I tried to, video of me falling would be all over Youtube

Agree!!    (But we need to ask @Frank Cannon)

Frank's fashion advice is always entertaining...as for the neon...I have to agree.  They kind of look like a neon pinkish orange.

They clash with the red carpet...And that's as close to fashion I'll ever get. I just know I wouldn't use that color interior with a car the color of the carpet.

That's good enough!  Normally I love her shoes with what she wears, but these shoes don't go with much of anything and yes ... they clash with just about everything.

@Right_in_Virginia

Wow.  I guess they really are.

I'm really curious who made them, but I've searched and can't find a thing.  Custom made, maybe?

Found this from the Observer http://observer.com/2017/04/melania-trump-easter-egg-roll-outfits/ : "For this year’s service, FLOTUS donned an airy white dress with a bias-cut, accessorized with sky-high Francesco Russo neon pink heels and a delicate gold belt."

I didn't see the shoes on Russo's website, so they may be from last year.

We may have our first demerit @CatherineofAragon .  LOL!

Well, heck, every woman makes a fashion mistake now and then, lol.

I just looked at Russo's site, out of curiosity.  It's...different.

Well, @CatherineofAragon , my sister just chimed in and she thinks these are the shoes  (If we could only learn to use our powers for good )

Well, damn! I'll have to go elsewhere.  I can't wait to see these shoes showing up on women all over DC ... and it won't be pretty.   

[mystery-ak]

I know..that color is popular..lol

[libertybele]

Frank, the Christian Louboutin Feerica 100 Strass & Mesh Pumps @$1,495 are perfect!!  Or... for $300 less we could do with out the beaded flowers on top.

The flamingo color is sold out ... but it comes in a variety of other colors.  I think the "nude" color would have looked better.  In reality though, Melania made a fashion statement!

The flamingo color is pretty. If I won a lottery scratcher I might buy a pair. I think she'll be a real trend setter. My mom still has a Channel suit like Jackie Kennedy wore back when she was First Lady. The hat, unfortunately, has long gone.

Sigh. I like hats. I wish they were still in fashion.

@Freya

Honestly, I'd like the color if it were just a patent shoe like it appears to be in the ad there.  But in the earlier pics it really does seem to be neon...it glows in the dark.  YMMV, of course.

I like hats on other people.  I never found one that would fit.  I have a lot of hair and they just sort of float to the top of my head and sit there.

[Idiot]

No wonder FLOTUS hasn't moved into the White House as of yet.  There isn't room for her clothes...lol.

You could go with a Princess Beatrice fascinator.  Problem solved!

I love watching the royal family's hats, but that one took the cake.

Those are terrible. They look like something a drag queen would wear. Just because they are expensive and have a label doesn't automatically make them cool.

Thought that was a faked photo it is so stupid. Apparently it's not.

[Smokin Joe]

Apparently, silly hats are somewhat of a tradition at royal weddings.

@Frank Cannon I'm crushed that you thought I would make up something like that. 

Dr. Seuss, on the other hand ... HE would make up something like that hat, for sure.

She's 7th in line to the throne (she'll never get there) and she's young ... I think she likes to go for the shock factor ... and it appears by some of the pics she's a "party" girl.

I want the kitty hat, but you all knew I'd say that,

@libertybele But as the hats go, she is not the only one:

Wow.  Ridiculous with all the plumage, they look like they're wearing birds on their heads.

You underestimate the dedication of fashion designers and their dislike of women.

Well, a lot of those fellows don't seem to be much 'into' women...

Lol, that mess should be in the Fashion Screw Ups Hall of Fame.  I wonder if she looks back at her pics and regrets it.

One would certainly hope so.  It's the hat that launched a thousand memes.


My personal favorite is the Eye of Sauron version.

Now, THAT is a hat! I love it @Frank Cannon

Speaking of hats, it's almost Kentucky Derby time. That's about the only place left where women still wear hats.

[mountaineer]

Love it. A British breakfast on a hat.

[libertybele]

Again, love her shoes (and she should have worn them with the 'while twirl dress').
