Why does Melania always wear the most inappropriate clothes.

[madaboutharry]

She looks like the bad spy lady in a Bond movie in this strange military outfit. She is so weird.

Now we know why they destroyed The Rose Garden. So they can have people seated and applauding her. They are so selfish.

1. Putin picked it out.

"I don't care, do you?"

[IcyPeas]

2. i don't care either..... but

[imanamerican63]

3. I was just gonna say that !

[RockRaven]

4. Because she is every bit as much of a sociopathic weirdo as all the other Trumps?

[greenjar_01]

5. She looks like a matron guard in a concentration camp

It's absurd.

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. She'd scare the shit out of me. Take your pills or Nurse Melania will make you hurt.

[2naSalit]

13. ...

[Xolodno]

6. Well...at least she is wearing clothes...

....unlike some of her other "appearances".

[3catwoman3]

7. Because she is most comfortable posing...

...in the nude?

[napi21]

9. Awe, comeon folks. At least admit she's a beautiful woman. n/t

[Solomon]

12. WTF!? You tripping.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. You forgot your fucking sarcasm thingy, oh and

she's not. Beauty comes from within, and she is void. Just silicone and artifice.

[radius777]

37. If you're into the plastic blow-up doll look.

She was better looking years ago when she still looked and acted more human.

Her eyes are vacant and she comes across as an automaton.

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. Nope.

[Polly Hennessey]

10. She does not look like a First Lady.

More like a matronly soldier in an alien army. The only thing missing is a big gun.

[Celerity]

27. as Rump's wifey, the only way she is getting a 'big gun' is via some pool-boying

[demtenjeep]

11. she has nothing on under that coat

it is her service night.


they will go to the bedroom, she will take off that coat, he will stick out his itty bitty mushroom and she will touch it and then she will smile with another 100000 bucks in her account

[elleng]

14. She has a very bad 'dresser,' has had for years.

My daughter posted: Did Melania mean to dress like a Nazi?

[Retrograde]

22. Of course not

A Nazi would wear feldgrau, not olive.

Didn't she get the message that women speaking at big political conventions wear red, white, or blue? Black is acceptable, but needs red, white, or blue accents.

[Cha]

15. Are there any Pics for those who did NOT watch? Mahalo!

From descriptions though.. it sounds like she's trying to make a statement every time.. in her sneaky little pissant way.

[elleng]

16. Either that, or her 'dresser' is and Melania doesn't get it.

[madaboutharry]

17. I'm sure a clip will be up soon.

Dark olive cacti military tailored jacket and skirt. My mom would call that color Castro Green.

It was ugly. Like I wrote, she looked like the bad spy lady in a Bond movie.

[Cha]

19. Unreal! TY, madaboutharry.

[Cha]

24. Found one.. OMG should she be Anymore OBVIOUS?!!

31. Is that what she wore tonight?

WTH? I am not a huge fashion fan, but FFS, at least look like you aren't trying out for the effing Gestapo darling of the Year. Ugh! She is so tone deaf!

[Cha]

34. Yes Smirky I finally found what everyone is talking about..

No one can convince me that trump & melania aren't trying to send a message with her stupid military dress up.. talking political SHIT behind the presidential Seal.

[smirkymonkey]

38. This just makes me so sad.

I think I am just burnt out on anger at this point. I feel ill at the sight of her, and of him. They are clearly trying to send a message and I honestly fear for the future of this nation.

[Cha]

40. I'm sad & Very Pissed Off. Venting on DU.. it helps

me to handle somewhat. I can't stand the sight of them, either.

All we can do is work incredibly hard to GOTV November 3rd.. We Have to WIN!

I saw a trump pence sign on the main highway when I was on the bus Sunday. A pang of depression & anger got me. It was up on a tall post with a little fence around the bottom. Like they knew that shit didn't belong here. My first thought was a "Paint gun".. that will fix it right up!

[smirkymonkey]

41. Hey Cha!

It's good to hear from you! Sorry, I have been a little down lately, but it's always good to read your posts. Venting here on DU can be a lifesaver sometimes! It's so nice to have a safe haven to come to.

Sometimes I go on other websites - not even political websites - and there are right wing trolls all over the place which upsets me beyond belief. I can't take it and I will not engage with them since I know they are impervious to reason.

Yet, just being confronted with them and knowing that they are out there disturbs me endlessly. I know I should ignore what they say and just dismiss them, but I always manage to catch a few Trump cultists before I go and I just feel like ripping their heads off! I think I might need a little break for my own sanity.

Hope you are well and stay safe!

[Cha]

44. Most of us are down & a little bit crazy

now after 4 years of this Twilight Zone from HELL!

We're stronger than we think, though, because we aren't completely off our Rockers!

That's got to be good for you.. just the venting you did in that post.. you let all hang out. Good On Ya!

We're staying safe & I wish the same for you & yours, Smirky!

18. A golden dark olive toned jacket with a skirt that

Looks straight in the front, but hugs her ass and has kick pleats. The jacket is closed with a tight belt around her waist. The jacket has patch pockets over her boobs, making them look even bigger. The fabric looked like a heavy weave of silk and wool. She looked like she was trying to wear a costume.

[Cha]

20. Thank you, Ilsa.. I guess the burning question is.. what

is she really trying to say?

[Ilsa]

21. Mostly fluff. A ding at her spouse (encourage everyone to see from others' perspectives).

A lot of BS, motherly stuff.

[Totally Tunsie]

32. It was 92 degrees in DC yesterday.

Surely, there was something more appropriate in her over-stuffed closet.

[betsuni]

23. It's an Alexander McQueen jacket.

Someone on Twitter saiid it was a Fidel Castro outfit, that Trump had compared Biden with Castro. That would be funny.

[Cha]

25. "FLOTUS's clothing choice is not a coincidence and it sends a strong message."

26. All you have to do is Google to find that she often wears military styled clothing.

Sometimes a jacket designed by a British designer is just a jacket.

[Celerity]

28. Alexander McQueen Military Jacket and skirt (and she wore the cinch belt backwards)

30. Looks very British, not surprising since it was designed by a British designer.

I'm watching the war movie "A Bridge Too Far" right now and the British army are wearing similar khaki uniforms. German and American uniforms look a little different.

[Celerity]

36. I love Alexander McQueen (what a tragic death) own a fair amount, he deffo wasn't just military chic

He committed suicide in early 2010, in Mayfair, on the other side of Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens from where I grew up (South Kensington) when I was 13, so much of the house's core collection is often riffs on his original designs.

I have some of his vintage original pieces I bought via consignment.

Sarah Burton has been the creative director of the label since his death.

Final runway presentation

Spring Summer 2010 Collection

Alexander McQueen's last appearance on a fashion show was in Plato's Atlantis, presented during Paris Fashion Week on 6 October 2009. This Spring/Summer 2010 collection was inspired by the post-human manifesto featuring 46 full looks.

The show began with a video of Raquel Zimmerman lying naked on sand with snakes on her body. McQueen installed two large cameras on the runway, both of which moved back and forth, documenting and broadcasting the entire show live on SHOWstudio. The inspiration for Plato's Atlantis was nature and the post-human movement depicted by sea-reptile prints. The fashion show and the collection addresses Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. as well as current global warming issues. The fantasy collection, named after Plato's island that sunk in the sea, envisaged a future where humans are forced to evolve from living on land to living in water in order to survive. The colour scheme changed during the show from green and brown (land) to blue and aqua (ocean). The models exhibited an androgynous look (which represents McQueen's evolutionary themes), as well as possessing post-human characteristics. The prints shifted from reptilian to prints of water creatures such as jellyfish and stingrays. The collection's final silhouettes gave the models marine features while the McQueen's signature Armadillo shoe also transformed the appearance of the models' anatomic foot. Plato's Atlantis was yet another way in which McQueen fused fashion with technology.

33. Why would someone wear this on a humid 92 degree day?

I'm overheated just thinking about it.

[smirkymonkey]

39. Because, dear Tunsie.

She is a right-wing, fascist enabler. And her sartorial, right-wing message is much more important to her than comfort or beauty. If there was any ever doubt about what kind of person she was before, I think today has made everything clear. I did feel sorry for her, but not any more.

Hope you are doing well and hanging in there!

35. When you can't differentiate between status and class you inevitably end up with tacky

It's really that simple.

[radius777]

43. She picked Trump - she obviously has no taste. /nt
