Inauguration Fashion: Who wore what in Washington, D.C.

While many American fashion designers’ attitudes towards dressing the first lady ran the gamut from indifferent to terrified to sensitive to any backlash they might receive, Lauren seemed best positioned to whether any criticism.

The public got their first glance at Melania’s perfectly-tailored look when she departed Blair House alongside her husband on their way to mass at St. John’s Church on Friday morning. Teamed with matching gloves, a box clutch and court shoe heels, as well as chic diamond earrings and a neat low chignon, the new First Lady’s 60s style recalled her famous predecessor – Jackie Kennedy.

Melania will be happy with her outfit choice, having already been proudly wearing some of Ralph Lauren’s pieces during her political career.

A Donald Trump-friendly Las Vegas hotel has stopped selling Tom Ford products over the designer’s refusal to dress his wife. “If she continues to look wonderful and put together every time she’s out, without putting some substance behind it, there’ll be criticism to go along with it”.

President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, wore an asymmetrical ivory pantsuit by Oscar de la Renta.

If Trump’s style choices during the a year ago are any indication, it’s a safe bet to say the future first lady will go for looks that are both tailored, free of embellishments, and monochromatic.

Lauren, a NY native like Donald Trump, also designed the Italian-made silk crepe jumpsuit that Melania Trump wore on election night.
