FLOTUS Melania Fashion

That picture would be better of the other 4 slobs to her right were out of frame.

@Frank Cannon

The chick's skirt is too short, and her shoulders are too wide for a halter style dress.

It's a tough green color to capture.  Watching videos of this the coat looked more Kelly green ...

The Smithsonian channel is doing a multipart series on First Ladies. So far it's been really good. They are repeating it a lot so check TV Guide.
 First episode was Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan and Dolly Madison. .

The news article I read stated the coast is suede and the shade of green is 'emerald' and with it she's wearing black patent leather heels.

Fashion Notes: Melania Trump Rocks Valentino To Kick Off European Tour



by John Binder5 Jul 2017Washington, D.C.12

First Lady Melania Trump is jet-setting in high fashion as she travels with President Donald Trump to Warsaw, Poland, where they are expected to be met with a warm welcome.

To board Air Force One, Melania donned a pair of pale pink cropped wide-leg windowpane Valentino trousers, along with a black, long-sleeve knit sweater. The Valentino pants retail for $1,790.

In her hands, Melania wore one of the most expensive Hermès handbags on the market, a crocodile-skin Birkin bag, which can retail for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

To top off the ensemble, Melania chose a pair of jet-black sunglasses and Manolo Blahnik black suede stilletos, a favorite of the First Lady’s.

Found the shoes... 

[mystery-ak]

I think they are the same shoes she was wearing with the pink slacks..

She wore pink slacks, I don't remember them.   (Please don't tell me I posted the picture.  LOL!)

I think that is an impeachable offense under Article 58.

[Silver Pines]

I want that coat.  How many banks do I have to hold up?

[Wingnut]

That is only in effect if she wore the offending shoes with a "boob" belt.

The Pences and the Trumps are color coordinated.

Looks more like intellectual property theft from Melania.

I want the purse....see ya in prison

@mystery-ak

The slacks she had on this morning are described as pink, wide leg, wide pane capris...

[libertybele]

I think they are the same shoes she was wearing with the pink slacks..

Au contraire ... she wore black suede stilletos with the pink check trousers and black patent leather with the green coat??   

The pants are available for a mere $1,790!  She is carrying a crocodile skin Birkin bag, which  retails for $75,00.00!!!  I can't imagine having that kind of money to spend on one purse.

@CatherineofAragon

You'd be horrified if you saw me about town.  If it's summer and I'm going somewhere that shorts are appropriate, I usually wear shorter skirts than the one the girl is wearing.  They are often quite a bit shorter, actually. 

I also wear skorts as we often cycle to local restaurants or do a little shopping.  Skorts also work better than skirts at the local pub where we often get asked to partner with others to play cornhole.  I'm sure many here would be horrified to see me in my short, shorts; dressed Dos Equis in hand, wearing sandals to boot, corn holing.  ;)   

[bigheadfred]

For the price of that purse expect to see those pink shoes a LOT.

[austingirl]

I was thinking the coat is suede. Love suede. She looks mahvelous!

[libertybele]

Argh!  Why are the Kushner's attending?  Why wouldn't Trump be accompanied by Tillerson?

Ivanka looks ok; not really a fan of the pantsuit. By the article, the MSM loves her.

I'm not quite sure I'm a fan of the bold, large print, but Melania wears it well because of her height.

It's an interesting dress. It's starting to grow on me.

I've never seen the First Lady of Poland before. She's pretty..I like magenta. Blondes look good in that color.

Good morning @libertybele

I wasn't speaking about short length in clothing as a general thing.  Just that specific dress and how it looked to me in relation to the occasion and the wearer's body.

The only thing I like about her outfit is the color.  Her legs look spindly.

[Silver Pines]

Yeah, not my favorite.  Plus the fabric looks heavy.  She has a great colorist, though (hair).

[libertybele]

I do like Ivanka's dress, but I'm not so sure that it's appropriate for a memorial service.

[Silver Pines]

I'm beginning to think Ivanka needs some instruction on dressing appropriately...maybe from a good stylist.

I have a feeling she's trying to do two things: Not be Melania, and to set style for her age group. Trying to be stylish, but avant garde at the same time.

She'll get the classical thing, sooner or later.

I think it might be better if someone helped her hit the mark sooner.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I would have ended the dress with the pink panel and shortened that panel by two inches.    (In case Melania's wondering   ^-^ )  In this view I better see the orange is a belt.

LOL! They grow up at their own pace (or not), regardless.

One of the first things Ivanka did after starting her WH position was hire a new stylist.   Money well spent.

I think the overall effect is to optically lengthen her relatively short waist, which is not a bad effect, and still retain the shape of her figure, palimpsest as it is by the garment. It looks better in the wide shot than it does close up, because the effect is more readily seen.

Agree ..  I actually think the proportions of the dress itself are off ... way to long and heavy at the bottom and the belt is too wide and long. @Smokin Joe

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln ...   

But Melania seemed comfortable in it and was all smiles.

With the heels, the effect is to put torso to leg length at near parity. It might be just a tad long, but this is a somewhat formal setting (Not black tie but getting up there). Narrow the bottom two panels on the skirt by an inch and a half, maybe two inches, and I think it would have been perfect. The skirt would have draped to be even in width with her shoulders.
