Melania Trump's Best Fashion Moments at the White House
Structured, colorful, belted ... Melania Trump's style has been perfectly studied during these four years spent in the White House. Stylistic review of the First Lady.
Melania Trump's fashion story took a turn on January 20, 2017, the day of her husband Donald Trump's inauguration as the 45th President of the United States, and her accession to the rank of First Lady of the United States. The American born in Slovenia succeeded Michelle Obama. Through her role as First Lady, Melania Trump has shown bold and luxurious silhouettes, with a certain appetite for rigorous lines.
Melania Trump has shaped her image through elegant and designer clothing choices. Nothing surprising for the one who spent her adolescence posing in front of the lenses of big names in photography (Helmut Newton, Mario Testino…), participating in magazine fashion editorials and hanging out with the powerful and fortunate gotta. Luxury is therefore integrated into her wardrobe. Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Alexander McQueen, Jason Wu… The First Lady's clothes are expensive and she accepts it. A choice that follows her even in so-called less "formal" moments, Melania Trump never ceasing to praise her favorite creators. We remember, for example, his red and black Balmain checked shirt worn during a gardening session at the White House.
In the footsteps of Jackie Kennedy?
Among his stylistic signatures, we find a pronounced taste for sober and timeless lines which earned him comparisons by the American press with the elegant Jackie Kennedy. Like this February 10, 2017, when she wears a black and white ensemble from February 10, 2017 reminiscent of the outfit worn by the wife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr in 1973, at the West Palm Beach airport. Little black dress, finer jewelry, more subdued colors ... the fashion icon also seems to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Melania Trump, who likes to borrow the less is more mantra from her.
She says yes in bold colors
Another highlight of the dressing room of the First Lady of the United States: the flashy colors. In August 2020, she is remembered to divert the attention of the web in her apple green dress by Valentino. And this was not a first. Fuchsia pink slipdress in 2005, dress and bright orange cape combo at Cedar Rapids in 2016, long red Alice Roi coat in 2017, green and fitted Hervé Pierre ensemble the same year ... In December 2019, she even dared to dare the association chick yellow cape with a pair of purple pumps. The bright colors or the trademark of the Melania Trump style.
In addition to her almost fluorescent outfits, there is a taste for clothing worn close to the body. From the pencil skirt to the small day sweater, through evening dresses and suits, this detail underlines the rigor of Melania Trump in her selections.
Another highlight: the structure. With her jackets with square shoulders, her almost geometric suits and her wide, straight suit pants, Melania Trump sports a millimeter silhouette. A detail that is also noticed by its biggest fashion signature: its belted waist to which it remains faithful at all times. Coats, shirts, jumpsuits, dresses ... these pieces are often accompanied by a belt and vertiginous pumps. A strict and "clean" result.
Fashion as a messenger
Certain clothing choices will also be an opportunity to send a message. For example, we keep in mind his white suit worn during the State of the Union speech in Washington in 2018. A key piece in Hillary Clinton's locker room and symbol of the suffragette fight, worn by the first lady after the revelations around the alleged affair between Donald Trump and porn actress Stormy Daniels. Also in the chronicle, the bow tie of her fuchsia pink blouse in 2016. A model called “pussy bow blouse” in English, and worn by Melania Trump a few days after her husband's scandal around her (sadly) famous phrase “grab them by the pussy ”(“ Catch them by the pussy ”). Discreet first lady, Melania Trump was able to make clothing a speech, when she wanted.
