Melania Trump's dress draws comparison to Jackie Kennedy
After several weeks in which the news of the refusal of several designers to star with one of their pieces about the slender body of Melania Trump circulated, finally the new First Lady of the United States has returned to surprise many.
This morning, the former Slovenian model and third wife of Donald Trump appeared before the public and the cameras dressed in light blue, rather pale, in a cashmere jacket suit below the knee designed by the famous Ralph Lauren.
To complete what has been seen as a deliberate tribute to the always elegant figure of Jackie Kennedy, Melania also wore gloves and 'stilettos' of the same color.
For some time now, the New York magnate's wife had spoken out in favor of the style that J. F. Kennedy's wife impressed on her public life; not only in regard to the world of design and fashion, but in all aspects of its daily life.

And it is curious that the new tenant of the White House has chosen Ralph Lauren as the designer of her dress for her first appearance as First Lady, since the artist had spoken in favor of Hillary Clinton during the campaign . Is it a conciliatory message through the symbology of fashion ?, ask some analysts.
Interestingly, at today's ceremony, the Democratic candidate also wore a jacket and pants combination signed by Ralph Lauren, as she also did in her last public events.

Those who flatly refused to wear her include Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs and Sophie Theallet. “Personally, I prefer to put my energy into helping those who will suffer for Donald Trump and his followers,” Jacobs recently declared.
"The racist, sexist and xenophobic rhetoric used by her husband's presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values that we respect," French designer Sophie Theallet, a New Yorker by adoption, said last November.
For election night Melania had chosen a white jumpsuit with an asymmetric neckline adorned by a light ruffle, designed by Lauren. This morning, the designer has repeated, although with a pastel tone and with a much more discreet air and a collected hairstyle, typical of the sixties, as the famous Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, 37 First Lady of the United States, was seen at that time.

As tradition governs, the light blue dress Melania has worn on this historic day will be displayed in the windows of the National Museum of American History on the National Mall.
