what the hell is she wearing?

1. well, I guess it looks better on closeup. nt

[Celerity]

21. judge for yourself, it is a Calvin Klein 205W39NYC summer midi dress and Christian Louboutin pumps

[Maru Kitteh]

25. I hope she has absolutely crippling problems with her feet for the rest of her life.

I really do.

[LiberalFighter]

58. Are those the type of shoes that destroy the ligaments and cause damage to the joints?

So that if she wears sandals her toes will flop around when she walks?

[Maru Kitteh]

67. This is the future her feet have to look forward to:

[Grasswire2]

71. she also suffers from kyphosis -- a spinal distortion that commonly is called "humpback" ...

....and ends up with the person requiring a walker because they can't stand up straight as they age.

In the photo below notice the head thrust forward and the rounding of the shoulders.

[Maru Kitteh]

75. Oh I'm quite familiar with kyphosis. (RN currently in LTC) I hadn't thought of it as

a possible consequence of heel-wearing. Makes sense though. Of course many men get it as well in their very late elder years - but lots of things about Melanie, including her heel wearing would lend itself to shitty spine health. A lifetime of not work has probably left her bones as brittle as a stack of saltine crackers.

[Grasswire2]

78. I don't know if it can be caused by heel-wearing.

Poor posture seems odd for a model. But then I suppose her fans were looking at something else.

Yes, I know that it is also a problem for some men late in life. Sad. My brother in law is a sufferer, but nobody will make him stop driving. He can't both see over the dash and work the pedals at the same time. Oy.

[captain queeg]

76. Worse than bone spurs n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

90. heh heh,

I see what you did there

[Retrograde]

34. Aside from the color I kinda like it

it's too yellow for my taste. There are probably people who could carry it off without being overwhelmed by all that yellow, but Mel isn't one of them.

Those shoes, though...

[dawg day]

39. It looks like a pup tent.

Like Cub Scouts use when camping in the backyard.

[CrispyQ]

51. Michelle Obama could pull off that yellow.

I don't think there's a color she wouldn't look amazing in!

[GoCubsGo]

96. She could pull off that yellow, and she has.

Multiple times. A quick check of Google Images will turn up a bunch of instances where she knocked it out of the park in bright yellow. It will also show her in some floral monstrosities that have apparently gone under the radar of the DU Fashion Police.

Michelle would not look good a lot of the Fall palette, such as the browns and brownish-oranges, and some of the darker greens. Which is why we rarely have seen her wearing those colors, unless they were accents.

[GoCubsGo]

35. I like that dress.

It's a nice, simple A-line dress. I'm a fan of tie-dye, so I don't see a problem with that. The yellow is nice, too, although it's not really her color. It's one of the few decent things I have seen her wear. The shoes, OTOH, those are hideous. Not a fan of Pepto Bismol pink, and how the hell ANYONE can walk in those things is beyond me.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

50. "how the hell ANYONE can walk in those things . . . "

My question is WHY in the hell anyone would walk in those things. Your sense of balance has got to be great to walk around on those stilts.

[dawg day]

83. I think if you can't run from zombies in those shoes....

you shouldn't wear them.

[Raine]

85. I really like the simple cut of the dress

I couldn't wear something though with that large of a design because I'm too short but the A line I like!

[RobinA]

91. I Like It Too

Beats those belted things she seems to favor. The shoes...not so much.

[Raine]

95. No the shoes I don't care for

either.

[SMC22307]

88. Seriously. That summery dress would have looked better with cute lace-up espadrilles...

not those ridiculous FMPs.

[Farmer-Rick]

66. Slovenian sex workers are not noted for their good taste in clothing

Now if she were to pose nude she would presumably do that in a most tasteful manner.

[HipChick]

2. Looks like something that soaked in another color in the wash..

[hvn_nbr_2]

26. And the hood came off in the wash. nt

[marybourg]

3. Arm-candy clothes.

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Really? It looks like what my mom called a "mumu" from K-Mart.

[marybourg]

38. No. Mumus dont have contoured waists.

They swing out from just under the armpits. This is meant to look recreational, as against looking like a woman who has a job.

[pandr32]

4. Gawd, that woman has the worst taste

We shouldn't be surprised, though, look who she hitched her wagon to.

[area51]

29. +1

To be fair, she seems to be more comfortable posing in the nude than selecting clothes and wearing them.

[Thomas Hurt]

5. Beach umbrella?

[womanofthehills]

33. It's her sunshine dress

[Claritie Pixie]

6. Tie dye! She thought she was going to the beach?

[virgogal]

7. I think that is called a "dress".

[Doreen]

14. No, it's called "an ugly dress."

🤪

[comradebillyboy]

8. She's wearing her usual sneer or is it a snarl?

[Doreen]

15. Can she do both at the same time?

[albacore]

18. That's permanent. Courtesy of some very expensive plastic surgery...

[Wellstone ruled]

9. So that is where our

Patio Table Cloth went to.

[struggle4progress]

10. Dunno. Wingsuit with a corporate logo?

[Xipe Totec]

11. That orange thing? That's her husband.

[Laffy Kat]

94. ....

[Autumn]

12. Looks like a homemade maternity dress? One of JarVankies designs maybe?

[Maru Kitteh]

22. I don't think she promotes princess daughter-wife. They vie for the same affections/status.

[Autumn]

60. Someone is sabotaging Trumps trophy and dressing her funny, I was thinking that

would be right up Vankies alley.

[Maru Kitteh]

61. Ha ha! You may be right! It seems like it would be pretty simple to do. nt

[smirkymonkey]

13. Pink Eye!

[Doreen]

16. It makes her look fat.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. She has started putting a few pounds on. Not much mind you, but she has become

less angular and a bit squishier in the last 1-2 years.

[Norbert]

17. And RW heads exploded when Michelle Obama went sleeveless.

[questionseverything]

81. i really miss those days

when our big problems were about the first ladies arms showing or the President wearing a tan suit

<sigh>

[dawg day]

84. Don't forget the DIJON MUSTARD!!!

that was really scandalous.

[BuddhaGirl]

19. Looks like slices of watermelon radish

to me LOL

[Akacia]

24. Its the shoes that kill me.

Cruel shoes, guess to each there own but....

[madamesilverspurs]

27. Looks like

she still doesn't really care.


.

[jmowreader]

28. It's $50 at the RICO auction of all Trump's assets

“Lot 1369: one atrocious orange thing worn by Melania Trump when her husband went to embarrass the United States. Made by two inmates at the federal prison her husband went to, this lot comes complete with a paper bag to put over your head if you decide to wear it in public.”

[Cousin Dupree]

30. Reminds me of my rightie sister-in-law early in the Obama presidency. I told her how much I

loved the way Michelle dressed. She looked at me with a look of horror on her face and said, You’re kidding aren’t you?” I said I was serious. She was speechless. I knew it was because she thinks it’s impossible for a black woman to look good. Bless her heart.

[Srkdqltr]

47. You are right

The dress is nice. She has autumn coloring so she can wear that color. Her....well. the dress is nice. LOL

[Polly Hennessey]

31. Looks like those

Starburst Candies in a bowl at the cash register in a restaurant.

[Zambero]

32. Well at least she is wearing something

Having kicked off her "professional modelling career" sans wardrobe.

[Tipperary]

36. I hate these type posts. Hated it when rw did it with

Michelle.

It is just as ugly when we do it.

[Grasswire2]

41. and yet you clicked on it....nt

[Tipperary]

57. Yes, in order to express my opinion.

You do understand how discussion forums work?

[Igel]

43. Yeah, there's a tradition of doing it.

When Michelle Obama was criticized, it was racist and sexist and partisan.

When we do it, it's only right.

Just like when we did it before Obama's election. But, of course, criticizing HRC was horrible.

Criticizing Bush I's family was fine, though.

Most people are buttheads at some point, which, considering they still have their usual butt in the usual location, simply makes them bi-assed.

[USALiberal]

46. +1000 nt

[treestar]

97. At least it is only about clothes

Not anything of policy.

[USALiberal]

45. Its childish bullshit, no idea why people post this shit. Nt

[leftstreet]

52. She's representing the US. Yet dresses like a dollar store Barbie n/t

[Skittles]

69. Melania is entirely known for two things: Trump, and how she looks

so when she looks ridiculous - as she often does - it is news

[Norbert]

37. Has this lady been picking out dresses again.

[ReformedGOPer]

40. Definitely beach umbrella.

[mainstreetonce]

42. Looks like something I just saw on Zulily

$12.99

[NBachers]

44. I have a problem with her; in this case, I have no problem with the dress.

[UniteFightBack]

55. same. nt

[Beringia]

48. I kind of like it, like a Japanese umbrella

[pansypoo53219]

49. beach umbrella canopy?

[Thekaspervote]

56. Does look like that. One that has become untethered from its poll

[madaboutharry]

53. I like the dress, but it seems out of place.

It isn’t a bad dress, it is rather cute. The problem is it is a dress for a birthday party or a summer get together with a bunch of friends or relatives. It isn’t a dress to wear to a G7 conference with your husband who is the president.

I can’t take this silly woman seriously.

[Ilsa]

63. I agree. She looks girly and frivolous, not

like a woman with some degree of personal power. I guess she really doesn't care.

[GoCubsGo]

72. Well, to be fair, that probably isn't what she'll wear to the conference.

It's the "getting off the plane and walking the tarmac to the limo" dress. For that purpose, it's fine, especially if it's still a gazillion degrees over there, like it has been lately. If she doesn't change out of it for more formal situations, that's another story. I recall Michelle Obama and Laura Bush making several clothing changes in a day at these sorts of affairs. They were often fairly casual when it came to getting off the airplane, dressing much like Melanoma. The next time you'd see them, they were in more formal dress.

[Mike Nelson]

54. It's meant...

... to get attention, that's for sure. I apologize because I've been called out for this before - but the heels are painful to watch. I'm sure her butt would look firm with less heel.

[cwydro]

59. I couldn't care less what Melania wears.

Or Michelle, or Elizabeth or Kamala.

Funny how we never see threads like this about the men.

[Polly Hennessey]

62. Because men don't wear yellow suits

with peppermint candy swirls stamped everywhere. Her choices are absurd. Yes, we may comment because she is in a public position representing us. Jackie Kennedy’s clothes were commented on. Thankfully, she had good taste.

[cwydro]

64. Yeah and we comment on their hair, their looks, their weight (in this very thread), and so on.

Women are held to another standard, and you know that quite well.

I find it sickening. It’s middle school crap carried over by supposed adults.

[muriel_volestrangler]

93. To be fair, Donald Trump's hair, weight and hand size have all been significant topics

over the last 4 years. Even the Dalai Lama remarked on his looks:

Not that I find this dress unusual or worthy of a thread, however.

[treestar]

98. We did about the tan suit

I saw a man in court the other day in dark pink pants. Hilarious.

[Ilsa]

65. I think it's the flag of a Caribbean nation,

perhaps the family flag for the Epsteins of the USVI.

[kskiska]

68. Why not just wear toe shoes?

Then her feet would be totally vertical.

[Tracer]

70. That's a pretty, summery dress.

Perhaps a little to informal for the occasion, and the heels? Way too high and must be painful.

Yes, I know.

Here at DU, anything positive to say about Malaria is verboten. But this is just an opinion of her dress. NOT an opinion of the "third lady".

[keithbvadu2]

73. I think it's a pretty dress. It's the skank/escort that spoils it.

I think it's a pretty dress.

It's the skank/escort that spoils it.

[Demsrule86]

74. She looks ridiculous...the woman can't dress herself properly.

All the money in the world can't make up for no taste or class.

[democratisphere]

77. Looks like a tent dress influenced by Japanese fan dancers.

FLOTUS must be trying to get on Abe's good side.

[Bluethroughu]

79. I don't really care, do you?

Ugly, can't be anything else but ugly.

[Sogo]

80. I really don't care....

...Do U?

[samplegirl]

82. The sail of a

boat??? That is one ugly ass dress!

[peasant one]

86. I think we should stop commenting on women's attire

I may hate her ideas but I am disinterested in her sartorial choices.

[Grasswire2]

87. don't look, then. nt

[SMC22307]

99. Why? We comment on men's attire.

How crumpled Bernie is, Mayor Pete in his khakis and short-sleeved Polos, Obama killing it in a tux, Drumpf looking ridiculous with that thing on his head, his too-long ties, shoe lifts, poorly tailored waistcoat, etc.

The fashion choices of First Ladies is a popular topic.

[SMC22307]

89. Just be thankful her nips are under wraps, unlike at other festivities. (n/t)

[bearssoapbox]

92. Maybe it's the ugliness underneath that ruins the dress.

Or she got it from Calvin Clown. 🤡
