Style: Melania Trump's fashion farewell to the White House
One last look and then go. To say goodbye to the life of First Lady, Donald Trump's wife had once again chosen to let her clothes speak for her.
Finally. Four years after walking the White House red carpet for the first time, Melania Trump said goodbye to Washington on Wednesday, January 20. No one will ever really know what happened behind the walls of this center of power, in the alleys of the rose garden redone at great expense. Melania Trump left as she went through that tenure as First Lady: silently, stoic, with her clothes as her only means of expression.
What a difference there is, moreover, between January 20, 2017, which saw her husband invested in front of the whole world, and this January 20, 2021, when Donald Trump fled Washington, a few hours before Joe Biden officially became the 46th President of the States - United. Four years ago, it was in baby blue that the First Lady greeted the crowd and held the Bible on which her husband was going to take the oath. In cashmere, by the Ralph Lauren Collection, Melania Trump's suit, which she had accessorized with long matching gloves, had spilled a lot of ink. Already because it was reminiscent of the one worn by Jackie Kennedy during the inauguration of JFK on January 20, 1961. But also because it implied that Melania Trump was ready to take on her new role as First lady, and by extension, the wardrobe that goes with it. By choosing an American designer for this special day, she also showed her commitment to making her country shine around the world.
Good riddance. Melania Trump leaves the White House clad in deeply mournful black — wearing not a single American designer. Chanel pre-fall ‘20 jacket; Dolce & Gabbana dress; Louboutin Pigalle stilettos & Hermès Birkin bag. But do we really care? NO. pic.twitter.com/mYN7FoifPw
