melania trump has been the subject of
intense media coverage ever since her
husband started campaigning for the
presidency
especially when it comes to her clothes
what outfits should the first lady have
reconsidered
wonder no more here are some of the most
inappropriate
outfits ever worn by melania trump
talk about a price tag that makes our
eyes pop out of our heads
after arriving in sicily to attend the
g7 summit in 2017
melania shocked the world with her
jacket of choice
a floral embroidered look from designer
dolce and gabbana
the actual jacket itself looked
beautiful and the ensemble was very
sleek so what was inappropriate about it
the cost as was noted by the new york
times the jacket set the first lady back
51 500 yes
you heard that correctly the jacket
described as having a 3d
flower kind of look wasn't even
available in stores when the first lady
wore it to the summit
at least not for anyone we'd call a
casual shopper
if you wanted to snag the jacket while
it was available you had to put down a
cool deposit of
25 750 dollars
don't mind us while we hyperventilate
just thinking about it
melania finished the look with a column
dress heels
and a purse valued at 1 630
just to put the price in perspective the
average teacher's yearly salary in the
united states
is less than 60 thousand dollars
melania trump has caught some flack for
a number of her appearances
but few were as controversial as her
outfit choices while
on a trip to africa the first lady
stopped in ghana
malawi kenya and egypt traveling with
the united states agency for
international development but regardless
of her reasons for being there it was
her colonial pith helmet
and safari-inspired style that caught
international attention
for one leg of her trip in egypt melania
opted for a cream-colored suit with a
white shirt
a black tie and a fetching white fedora
that drew comparisons to everything from
out of africa
to raiders of the lost ark almost
regretted
but that wasn't all melania packed for
this trip that caught people's eyes
during a safari tour in kenya she made
the unfortunate decision to wear a hat
with a striking resemblance to a
white pith helmet widely taken as a
symbol for colonial exploitation of
africa during the 19th
and 20th centuries it was widely
regarded as a poor choice at best
and melania was criticized for being
either completely unaware of the looks
historical implications
or for not seeing her suggestive outfit
choices as a big deal at all
i wish people would focus on what i do
not what i wear
it was the jacket seen around the world
and the outfit choice that landed
melania trump
in some hot water while traveling to
mcallen texas
in june 2018 to visit people impacted by
president donald trump's family
separation policy
the first lady opted for an army green
jacket from zara that had
i really don't care do you written on
the back in big white letters
as noted by cnn the look caused an
uproar very quickly and forced melania
trump to backpedal
the backlash got so intense that her
spokesperson stephanie grisham
jumped onto the scene to clarify the
first lady's choice with a statement
that read quote
it's a jacket there was no hidden
message she then took to twitter to
reaffirm that the jacket had no hidden
meaning
writing today's visit with the children
in texas impacted the first lady greatly
if media would spend their time and
energy on her actions
and efforts to help kids rather than
speculate and focus on her wardrobe we
could get so much accomplished on behalf
of children
hashtag she cares hashtag it's just a
jacket
hidden message or not it was probably
not the most appropriate choice on the
first lady's part
months later she said on cnn that the
jacket was a message to the quote
left-wing media who are criticizing me
and i want to show them that i don't
care
you could criticize whatever you want to
say
but it will not stop me to do what i
feel it's right
first ladies are known for choosing
important social causes to champion
melania trump's predecessor michelle
obama focused on providing healthy meals
to children and established the white
house's vegetable garden
in perhaps a show of political
friendship melania trump kept the garden
operating after obama's time his first
lady came to an end but after a photo op
in september 2017
she came under some serious fire for
what some called
a less-than-appropriate gardening outfit
as noted by cnn
the first lady hosted a group of 10 kids
from dc's boys and girls club of america
for a harvesting event
but it was her outfit that received
attention melania opted for a balmain
plaid shirt that cost over one thousand
dollars and paired it with a pair of
converse sneakers that were out of the
box clean
the internet was quick to point out the
out of touch
outfit option one thing is clear stick
to your grubby shorts and
over used sneakers while playing in the
dirt
melania hit the white house garden in
august 2018 to help plant an eisenhower
era oak tree sapling
but again it was her outfit that stole
the show and
not for the right reasons instead of
opting for flats to avoid sinking into
the ground
and a pair of jeans she wouldn't mind
getting dirty
melania wore a four thousand dollar
floral skirt from valentino
and finished the look with a pair of
four inch christian louboutin stiletto
heels
which easily would have cost her 745
the whole outfit felt out of touch
especially when she showed off her
gold-colored ceremonial shovel
melania trump is a fan of stilettos but
like most things
the expense of pumps have a time and a
place
but that doesn't seem to be a sentiment
that the first lady shares
because she opted for a pair of high
pencil thin heels
while traveling to the areas devastated
by hurricane harvey in 2017.
the first lady is most often seen in
heels but her footwear choice while
visiting a region that had gotten
30 inches of rain was not taken by most
critics as
an appropriate option she paired the
footwear with an
outfit that honestly would have fit the
bill if she had been wearing a pair of
sturdy boots
the first lady must have gotten the memo
that her shoes were not a celebrated
look because she changed while on her
way into a pair of far more sensible
shoes
and a baseball cap all eyes were on the
trumps during the 2020 republican
national convention
and although the night gave us one of
the most awkward melania trump moments
it also gave us another inappropriate
outfit
as noted by gq melania opted for an army
green colored military jacket that
featured an edgy
dynamic silhouette and a matching pencil
skirt the look was from designer
alexander mcqueen's resort 2020
collection and the jacket alone set the
first lady
back two thousand four hundred fifty
dollars but the large price tag wasn't
the aspect of the look that was deemed
inappropriate it was melania's choice to
wear a design
indicative of the military-style looks
often rocked by
dictators as noted by the cut the
designer outfit would have probably not
been a big deal
if anyone else had worn it but melania
trump's choice to wear
such a look while standing at a podium
situated
in front of a line of american flags was
an optic that didn't look
great while speaking to the united
nations general assembly about cyber
bullying melania trump brought up the
topic of children's hunger
across the world no child should ever
feel hungry
stalked frightened terrorized bullied
isolated or afraid
with nowhere to turn we must teach each
child the values of empathy and
communication that
are at the core of the kindness
mindfulness integrity and leadership
which can only be taught
by example sound advice but people were
quick to point out the first lady's
hypocrisy
for the event melania chose a 2 950
fuchsia pink dress from designer del
pozo so while speaking about childhood
hunger
the outfit made her look completely out
of touch
one of the aspects of her husband's
presidency that has worked against
melania trump's style has been his
america first approach that has limited
the first lady in the designer labels
she has worn
and that sentiment was on full display
during the french president's visit to
the white house
as noted by glamour melania trump opted
for an
irve pierre skirtsuit in a bold crisp
white and topped off the look with an
internet breaking
white hat from the moment that pictures
of the head-turning look made it to
twitter and to critics
public opinion was divided down the
middle the washington post reported that
the outfit option
given that pierre was a freshly minted
american citizen was a display of
diplomatic symbolism but the boston
herald rejected the look
saying that it evoked europe roots not
america first
no matter the political sentiments
associated with the ensemble twitter
pointed out more lighthearted
comparisons
one twitter user wrote why is she out
here looking like carmen sandiego
playing beyonce in the formation video
others pointed to a similarity between
melania and jude law's character from
the young
pope lesson from all of this keep your
headwear
simple the first lady's choice of
leather leggings for an outing in
december 2018
caused a notable stir not because of the
slim fit
or the silhouette but because the
leggings were so close to her skin color
that it looked like she wasn't wearing
pants at
all at first glance it appeared as
though melania was walking hand in hand
with her husband while wearing only a
green mini dress
a bold option considering that it was
winter at the time in washington dc
but at a closer look commentators
realized that she was wearing a pair of
tan leather leggings
the illusion however fooled a lot of
people on the internet
melania trump is responsible for the
white house christmas decorations
and her outfit during the 2019 unveiling
did not please
one critic specifically the coat she
wore over her shoulders during the big
reveal
robin gavon critic at large for the
washington post
shared her thoughts on what she
described as melania's inappropriate
look
and pointed to a sense of disconnect
between the first lady
and the public gavon wrote the coat
looks ridiculous
but more than a silly fashion fully the
coat is a distraction
it's a discomforting affectation taken
to a ludicrous extreme
in a video that is intended to celebrate
the warmth and welcoming spirit of the
holiday season
that simple flourish exudes cold
dismissive aloofness
gyvonne was on to something because it
was revealed in october 2020 that
melania had some choice words about
being responsible for the white house's
christmas look
i'm working like a ask my ass i know
christmas stuff that you know who gives
a [ __ ] about
christmas stuff and decoration but i
need to do it right
melania trump's fashion choices caused a
stir from the beginning of her time as
first lady
and her outfit option for the official
white house portrait
was not hailed as an appropriate one
melania opted for a sharp well-fitted
black blazer and soft makeup for the
shoot
but what captured the negative attention
was her choice to wear her three
million dollar 25 carat diamond ring as
a part of her official portrait
wow that's expensive donald trump gifted
the ring to his wife for their 10th
anniversary and it was the price that
put critics in a bind
many said that it was inappropriate for
the first lady to wear such a ring that
could pay for programs that the
president planned on cutting
in his proposed federal budget like
meals on wheels
and other social programs but melania
trump wasn't the only first lady to be
criticized for her white house portrait
michelle obama came under serious fire
for opting for a sleeveless dress while
posing for her photo
so it looks like perhaps no first lady
is going to please
