I think it goes back to her modeling days..if you look at models on the catwalk most of them have their hands like this

It's more than models on the catwalk who are coached to pose their hands like this.  Executive business women are coached the same way by photographers.  You see it all the time in formal photos for Board books and advertising speaking engagements.  It's the universal claw.   :laugh:

And it looks natural in a business woman type of setting where they aren't photographed all the time.  But when you have picture after picture after picture of the "universal claw" it becomes very noticeable and weird looking.

Lol.  I live in a hot, muggy climate.  I repeat - hose are icky.

@Sanguine

Okay with me if you want to tank thousands of years of progress, lol.

Seriously, summer is one thing.  Going barelegged when it's cold is another.

Can I just settle this silly argument and let you know that you’re both wrong...  the correct answer is: stockings and garter!

Silly girls.  For all men, let me just say that I’m glad I could be of help.

Thanks for your contribution grandma. Stocking were probably great keeping you warm when you had to walk 20 miles to school in the snow back in the horse and carriage days.

Get current.  Tim Gunn is the go-to.  Btw, he doesn't like nude stockings either, so he's wrong, too.

Listen. If you were listening to some of the broads on the board you would be the laughingstock of your neighborhood dressed like some Soviet peasant woman. Because of me you will be able to maintain your hot chick status......'nuff said.

Lol, I read an article by a twenty-something who wore nude "tights" for the first time.  She was like Jeff Goldblum with the baby raptor in Jurassic Park---filled with wonder and trepidation at the amazing relic. Until she found out she liked how they looked and then kept wearing them.  I find it hilarious.

The Europeans get this one right.

Pantyhose reminds me of my grandma and senior citizen women.

Nice shapely tanned legs without pantyhose look the best.

Yeah, like Kate Middleton.  Well-known grandma who’s helped the sales of nude stockings skyrocket in England.

Y’all are stuck in the seventies with visions of suntan pantyhose.  That’s not nude hosiery anymore.

You can have the best legs on earth but if you’re going around bare-legged in winter, you look foolish.  As for tanning, never did it & never will.  I like my fair skin.  Those tanned legs are gonna bring with them wrinkles, crows’ feet, premature aging, and a décolletage that looks like gator hide.

Horrible choice for Melania. This photo is the only time skinny-shanks has surpassed her, IMO. Dropped pleats don't work on anyone.

And then add another layer on top of this with the oversized coat.

My grandmother would say Melania looks like a featherbed tied in the middle in that gray outfit. I hate that Mama Macron won that round. Cute little peplum jacket.

This has to be Melania's biggest fashion faux pas so far.  Wearing these pleats she looks like she's gained about 15 pounds and then on top of that she has her coat draped over everything which makes her look even heavier.

All hail the bleep weird fist.

I don't think it's so weird when shaking a hand like this.  Every time I've shaken someone's hand I've had something in my left hand--a cocktail, a notepad, a pen ...something.  I'd be inclined to hold my left hand similarly if it were empty .... otherwise it would just fall to your side and that'd be really awkward.

This is different from posing for a photo so I'm inclined to cut her some slack here.

Looks awkward as hell to me.  Looks like she's getting ready to debate.
