Melania Trump, not so incognito under the mantle
Does Melania Trump have a double? A new appearance of the First Lady in a long and wide gray overcoat signed Balenciaga was enough to revive this theory which hangs over Washington. Explanations.
Her last public appearance, Melania Trump may have wanted her discreet. Well, it's missed. It was December 31, as she returned from Florida with her husband to join the White House to celebrate one last New Year's Eve. Black Saint Laurent glasses and long oversized gray Balenciaga coat, Melania Trump offered a sober look. Enough to react on the networks, going so far as to arouse absurd theories.
It all started with the XXL Prince of Wales check coat, from Balenciaga's fall-winter 2019-2020 collection. A model who paraded in Paris on March 3, 2019 alongside mostly dark pieces. Baptized Incognito Car Coat by Demna Gvasalia, the artistic director of the Parisian label, it is inspired by the archives to offer a tribute to the style of Cristóbal Balenciaga.

Stylistically, volumes are not in the clothing habits of the First Lady, known to wear and love the cinched waist. A fashion detail that has not escaped some observers, bringing out an old rumor of a double. Several Internet users believe that the woman in the Balenciaga coat is not Melania Trump. For some, she would have redone the stroke of the understudy - the same one released on various occasions during her husband's tenure. Twitter wasted no time in seeing the hashtag #FakeMelania rise from its ashes. "Who is this woman with Trump getting off the plane / helicopter? Would Melania wear such a coat? All smiles? Hand in her husband's? ”Writes a user as if to recall those moments when Melania Trump refused to take Donald Trump's hand in public.
The question isn’t “Is that a fake Melania?” but “Why is that a fake Melania?”#FakeMelania😳 pic.twitter.com/he8R2opPAc

By choosing a coat named Incognito, did Melania Trump want to send a message? If we know her discreet, we also know that she is able to speak through clothing - we remember a Zara jacket worn in 2018 where it was written on the back in big white letters: "I don't care. And you ?". In the media since the victory of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, would this coat be a way for Melania Trump to express her desire to withdraw completely? The future will tell.
