Freshly sworn-in President Donald Trump’s first dance with Melania Trump was to Frank Sinatra’s “I Did It My Way“.
After months of speculation, the new First Lady’s inauguration dress was revealed as Trump took the stage alongside husband Donald Trump wearing an off-the-shoulder white gown with a frill running down the front. The dress, a collaboration between Mrs Trump and designer Hervé Pierre, featured a full-length ruffle in six layers of crepe, a narrow red ribbon bow belt and a deep side slit.
“It’s elegant, yet understated, with a high-fashion twist – which seems to be her signature style”. He was also the designer Clinton chose for her own Inauguration Day outfit. A Lebanese immigrant who is now based in New York, Acra, who has dressed the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry and Beyoncé, is representative of exactly the kind of immigrant the incoming president is eager to keep at bay.
Incidentally, Melania had previously admitted that Jacqueline was her role model and looks like she meant it.
The most striking thing – at least wardrobe wise – at the inauguration was the number of prominent women in white, a color associated with the suffragists of the early 1902. Will she embrace young design talent and the fashion world as wholeheartedly as Mrs. Obama?
“It’s a look that, overall, is very safe, if a bit costume-y (dye-to-match pumps!)”.
“Melania nailed it in baby blue”, celebrity stylist Sara Cooper told the Daily News.
President-elect Donald J. Trump and Melania Trump arrive to the candlelight dinner at Union Station in Washington on Thursday.
“For Tiffany, it was a very last minute”, Taghdiri told The Hollywood Reporter of how her look came together.
An American first lady’s clothes have become hugely influential, believed to send implicit messages about the tone of their husbands’ administrations. Like many fans of the style icon, Trump has expressed her admiration for Kennedy in the past.
Others likened it to uniforms worn in The Nutcracker ballet.
There was a striking contrast between the soft silhouette of Ivanka’s champagne-coloured gown and the staccato details of Melania’s dress.
Designers such as Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford publicly refused since they don’t agree with her husband’s policies.
