Bad Fashion From a Crappy Party: All the Unfortunate Looks From the Inauguration
Entertainment
WASHINGTON, D.C.—For weeks the fashion world has engaged in an internal debate about whether designers would or would not dress Melania Trump. Would designing for her become an implicit endorsement of her husband’s campaign of hate? Many thought yes, but it’s come down to the wire: she’s dressed in a cornflower blue suit by Ralph Lauren, which is supposedly a nod to Jackie Kennedy (lol she could never) but looks more like she is the grandmother of the bride.
We’ve already seen the way Kellyanne Conway turned a rather cute Gucci look into Alessandro Michele’s night terror of an android majorette, but how did everyone else in this murderer’s row of cartoon villains fare in the fashion department? Well, fellow citizens, I will tell you!
First of all, let’s compare outgoing with incoming. Michelle Obama, who looks like she is about to cry, could teach Melania a thing or two about First Lady fashion. FLOTUS is America’s matriarch, and Michelle wore a belted tweed in a warm, welcoming shade of deep red. Melania, who always looks a little severe because that is a model’s job, also looks like your cold, third stepmother who is 30 years younger than your rich dad. It’s very “no wire hangers.” Meanwhile, no one has ever accused President Obama of being a fashion plate, but next to Trump and his notoriously ill-fitting suits, he looks like he just stepped out of an ad for Savile Row.
