FLOTUS Melania Fashion

[RoosGirl]

You too? My wife gets excited when a dress has hidden pockets. She doesn't even ever use them. She just likes sticking her hands in them and telling me she has pockets.

And you're married?  Really?  Huh.

[Frank Cannon]

And you're married?  Really?  Huh.

Married is a bit of a stretch. More like imprisoned.

[RoosGirl]

Married is a bit of a stretch. More like imprisoned.

Yeah, I didn't figure she would stay voluntarily.

[Frank Cannon]

Yeah, I didn't figure she would stay voluntarily.

I live in Alabama so it's legal.

[RoosGirl]

I live in Alabama so it's legal.

Oh, so she's 14 too.  And a sistercousin?

[Frank Cannon]

Oh, so she's 14 too.  And a sistercousin?

So you've met her?

[Silver Pines]

I think the dress Melania is wearing is perfect for this holiday event.  It flowed gracefully and she didn't have to concern herself with adjusting a form-fitted outfit each time she sat and got up from the tables she visited (the point of the event).

The kids certainly "got" what she was wearing.  They're the ones who said she "looks like an angel". ^-^

I expect at the Christmas in Washington celebration to be held at the Kennedy Center we'll see something quite different.

@Right_in_Virginia

Yeah, I get it, she’s an angel.  And yet I think the full skirts swamp her and look dated. 

[Right_in_Virginia]

@Right_in_Virginia

Yeah, I get it, she’s an angel.   

No, @CatherineofAragon , as is usual, you most assuredly do not "get it".     

[Silver Pines]

No, @CatherineofAragon , as is usual, you most assuredly do not "get it".     

@Right_in_Virginia

What don’t I get?  That I’m not worshipping sufficiently?

Not gonna happen, so deal with a difference of opinion on the woman’s freaking dress like an adult.

[Mod1]

Let's stick to the topic.

I'm so happy I'm not you; compelled to fight everywhere .... even on a lighthearted thread @CatherineofAragon   I hope some sunshine finds its way into your worldview.

Really? 

[Mod2]

Is it really that difficult to stay on topic, when the topic is something as innocuous as the First Lady's fashion choices? The snark is not appreciated.

[Silver Pines]

@Right_in_Virginia

You little scamp, you.  *grin*

I didn’t realize an opinion on a skirt is fighting.  Got any pics of Melania in straight skirts?

[libertybele]

Definitely there is no place for snark in this thread for heaven's sake as people are entitled to their opinions, most so far have agreed that the puffy, flouncy, sleeves do not complement the dress. Ok ... so there's a difference of opinion...get over it! Melania is a former model and now our FLOTUS; she has some absolutely gorgeous outfits and some spectacular looking shoes and  the intent of this thread was to have a place to post pics of her outfits for various occasions and comment.  To show different angles or to capture a different scene or event with her wearing the same outfit is one thing, but to continually post multiple pictures of the same outfit, scenery, etc. after someone else has posted the same pic is not only repetitive but a tad childish, and  it becomes a bit excessive, especially when they're posted in more than one thread; in doing so, I can definitely see where someone would see that as Melania worshiping.  Just my opinion.  Peace.

I've posted photos from the Christmas event here ... and on the thread in the National News Forum. I've done the same with national and global events involving the President.   It may be hard to believe @libertybele, but not everyone visits the Fashion thread.      But, if covering both threads is mistaken for "childish" or "worship",  I'll post once so not to confuse folks.  I'll also be sure not to post different perspectives of what you've posted, even if the additional photo is better framed or focused.   Heaven knows the last thing I would want to do is offend you --- or any of the visitors to this thread.  Peace.

National Tree Lighting Ceremony -- I love the plaid coat and no puffy sleeves!

National Tree Lighting Ceremony -- I love the plaid coat and no puffy sleeves! 

I like that.  The coat nips in at the waist, and the color is festive.  Matches his tie, too.

Melania has a really good grasp of choosing colors and styles to fit each occasion.  I never saw that with the Beastmaster.  She just seemed to throw on a random mess without giving it any thought.

[Frank Cannon]

I never saw that with the Beastmaster.  She just seemed to throw on a random mess without giving it any thought.

If I recall, she always wore black to match her soul.

[libertybele]

FLOTUS & @SecondLady met with 1st responders to thank them for their efforts on behalf of the people of Texas during Hurricane Harvey.  I think she is dressed appropriately, but of course the MSM has to focus on the cost of the "puffer jacket" ($1,188).

That's a hot winter outfit. Frank Cannon approves.......a whole lot.

[Silver Pines]

Yep, she nailed that one.

Also, I know I said it before, but I love that she isn't afraid to wear green.

Visiting the Children's National Hospital Thursday:

(Getty - click link) http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/first-lady-melania-trump-arrives-to-greet-children-and-read-the-book-picture-id887931598 

And the shoes: 

[libertybele]

I've always liked 'winter white' and it looks well on her and as usual she compliments the outfit with a great pair of stilettos.  I looked at some of the other Getty pics and she looks kind of disheveled in one of them and as noted by the MSM she again drapes the coat over her shoulders, rather than completely taking it off. It seems any time she is criticized for one of her 'looks' she continues on with it.  Good for her!

That's the coat my MIL was talking about!  I did a quick search and when I didn't find a picture of a red coat decided MIL was imagining things.

[Sanguine]

Why are the photos on here always enormous?

[Polly Ticks]

That's the coat my MIL was talking about!  I did a quick search and when I didn't find a picture of a red coat decided MIL was imagining things.

Love the red coat!  I think it would look better without the pockets in the front, but that's a minor detail.

[RoosGirl]

All the better to see you with, my dear.

Agree!  Plus, Melania has worn this style even before she was first lady.  I marvel at how she's able to keep it on. I've tried it, and the coat stays on if I don't move my arms.  But she doesn't seem to have that problem.   

     

[RoosGirl]

There may be small straps that fit over her shoulders, kind of like a backpack.  Or, there could be clips holding it on to her clothes.

I use 500 which is a good start...you can reduce further just check preview to see how big it is

Listen, I was giving some tips for the ladies here that might want to wear their coat in emulation, but don't have the skills to emule.

Well for that class of person, just stapling the coat directly to the collar bone is the best option.

Hot glue makes it easier to get through the metal detectors.

Well my suggestion was for women who don't have to make regular appearances in court.

We in this forum have done a much, much better job in capturing Melania's most stunning fashion moments.  However, out of the 10 displayed, which is your favorite?  I am undecided between "White Haute" and "Pink Streak".

Yes, the earrings are gorgeous .... in doing a search, I didn't realize she has a jewelry line.

Merry Christmas from the president and first lady!’ Melania Trump stuns in a glittering black cocktail dress as she stands hand-in-hand with her husband in their first official holiday portrait.  The 2017 Christmas portrait was revealed on Melania’s Twitter page on Thursday.

The dress  ^-^

[RoosGirl]

Are the sequins on her dress in the shape of Slovenia?

Sequins look like they might be Christmas holly, but not a fan of the dress.

I realize this is shopped, but it's still beautiful and complimentary.

You can see clearly, in her right eye, that she is of the reptilian variety of alien.  Or maybe a goat, which, IDK, probably means she's satan or as the case may be satan's bride.

Nah, Not jealous. She just relates to slovenly wimmin.

Merry Christmas.

@driftdiver Heck yeah.  You ever seen a goat's eye up close?  Who wouldn't want to have eyes like that?!

[RoosGirl]

Do you wear contact lenses @RoosGirl ...

@Right_in_Virginia

No.  Why?  Are you going to tell me that I need to?

I'm just being silly, except for the "bride of satan" part.  Pretty sure that's true.  There's some weird line or something, I'm guessing from whatever software added in all the extra stuff.  Y'all lighten up and have some fun.  I know you've seen the funny pics and video of the queen and various politicians with the supposedly reptilian eyes.

[Right_in_Virginia]

@Right_in_Virginia

No.  Believe it or not @RoosGirl  not everything is about you.

Is that why you asked me a question about me?

Yup @RoosGirl .... now think it through.

[RoosGirl]

Yup @RoosGirl .... now think it through.

@Right_in_Virginia How about you just have a Merry Christmas.

Here's the only picture of the red lace dress Melania wore in the video with the President sending Christmas good wishes.

It looks really pretty ...  (it's from Eric Trump's twitter account)

@Right_in_Virginia How about you just have a Merry Christmas.

@RoosGirl ... it's been a wonderful Christmas weekend .... and it's just the beginning.  Thanks for your concern. 

Will check in next week when I can to see how you're doing.

[DCPatriot]

Well, I see that the Christmas season has brought out more of the inner you.  You have passed well beyond snarky into mean and ugly.   Wow.

IMO, the mean and ugly moniker goes to the poster(s) who feel compelled to pull a driveby....slowing down beside a nice group of people sharing/discussing Melania Trump...and flinging what amounts to be...'Poop'. 

Then we all share a laugh as they attempt to leave rubber in their Honda Civics, outfitted with 200 lb rear stabilizer. 

We guess that's to keep them 'grounded'   

I see two reasons.  1) They do it only to get a rise out of people.  2) It's a scorpion/frog thingy.

I just reported you to the Mods for being boring.

[libertybele]

Beautiful shoes, but I think they’re too summery looking for this time of year.

Agreed, I think that they are a little on the 'summery' side as well; black suede or red leather would have been more appropriate for this time of year.  Still love the shoes themselves.

[RoosGirl]

No way, she can totally pull the shoes off, especially if she's in Florida.  We don't do that whole "season" thing down here.

[libertybele]

Happy New Year 2018!!  Trumps @ Mar A Lago -- Not a fan of Melania's dress -- again -- what's with the 'flouncy' sleeves?  Dress looks like a shortened Japanese kimono.



Ready to ring in the new year, Melania Trump joined her husband President Trump and son Barron at Mar-A-Lago and she was dressed to impress in a sparkly creation.

Her dress is  by Erdem and with the glistening sequins, flirty pink hue and colorful embroidered floral pattern, it was just right for the occasion.

The high neckline, puffy sleeves and tea length created an air of modesty around the look and with the fitted silhouette, it hugged Melania's figure just right.
