Melania Trump divides the nets with her red gloves to decorate the Christmas tree
The first lady appears in the photos and video of the presentation of the Christmas decoration of the White House with this accessory that has generated a wave of criticism
It's Christmas at the White House! The President and First Lady of the United States, Donald and Melania Trump, have welcomed this time of year by filling the corridors and lobby of the White House with trees and ostentatious decoration, which has become a scene of Christmas movie.
As tradition dictates, the first lady has been in charge of presenting the set she has chosen this year to the press. And how could it be otherwise, she has done it with a very patriotic look, with the colors of the United States flag.
In the images Melania appears in a blue ‘navy’ coat by Stella McCartney that has a white and red knit collar, an ‘athleisure’ style piece that is priced at 1,250 euros. In addition, she is wearing dark jeans and Victoria Beckham boots that she has worn several times in recent weeks and that are valued at 1,490 euros.
However, the red leather gloves that she wears in several of the images have taken center stage, a complement that has not gone unnoticed because the former model is dedicated to touching the ornaments of the trees with her gloves on, a practice that has generated several criticisms on social networks. "Who wears leather gloves inside your home? Jesus, it's like Marie Antoinette ”or“ I also decorate my tree with red gloves ”are just some of the comments that can be read on Twitter.

While others have highlighted the glamor of Melania and have wanted to downplay this detail, others have gone further and have linked the gloves with blood due to her husband's tough politics.
Likewise, the networks have reacted to the extravagant decoration, specifically, the corridor full of red trees that many have associated with the series "The Maid's Tale" or films such as "The Shining." The motto inscribed on several of the decorative balls has also not gone unnoticed: ‘Be Best’, a message that many have considered Donald Trump should apply.
