I just happened to see this image of the meeting of the Trumps and Trudeaus. Now, I do not claim to be any kind of fashion maven here, but I did not know that this year's look for women is some kind of cross between a men's suit and tie and a woman's dress or pants suit. Strange look but both wives sport some version of it, so it must be the look of the ruling class this season.
In Melania's case, I am assuming she did not get the irony of her choice? The suit meant to SUGGEST her work in the boardroom of her various businesses? Symbolizing her dizzying climb from a photo shoot in some seedy hotel to the penthouse of the CEO of bad taste?
I just ended up laughing, and then laughed again as I recalled that Trump's need to hide his cameltoe with the overly long ties has led to the ruling male elite all wearing their ties long and low this season as well.
One more reason he should be impeached. Influencing public taste. Gross.

As for Melania, maybe she's channeling Annie Hall?
Also, notice that Melania's hands are longer than Trumpys. He has tiny feet too.

(6,853 posts)Catty or not, they represent the USA. Make an effort. The suit Melania is wearing is a horrible look. The pants are not even, the suit is wrinkled, the stitching is half-assed. The slight shoulder padding is uneven. I know all suits are poorly made these days, especially in the Trump sweatshops, but a little work by a seamstress could work miracles. Trump actually wore a jacket that fits and looks less like a homeless person. Melania's hair is out of control. It just doesn't work here. Second appearance in as many days where she has appeared frumpy. Ms. Trudeau is perfectly turned out. Simple, sophisticated outfit, well-fitting, well tailored. Mr. Trudeau: can look good wearing anything.

(4,266 posts)I'm not sure what's up with her outfit. Why a business suit on a relatively formal occasion, rather than something simple and classy like Trudeau's outfit?
That's to say nothing of the fact that the suit just looks odd on her. I can't believe it was custom tailored for her, because everything seems to be oversized. The pant legs are practically swallowing her feet.

(14,274 posts)Before he brought it up during the Republican primaries, I had never heard anyone compare the size of a male's hands to his genitals. But feet? That I had heard.
He does have little feet. Just saying.

(89 posts)I like the suit on her. He looks ridiculous as always but he sure got his money's worth with her. Hate on her all you want for her life choices and covering up for that douchebag but if you say she looks bad you're just lying to yourself.

(5,815 posts)1. How do Trump's tiny feel hold up his body?
2. Can you imagine the outrage if Michelle Obama had worn a costume, I mean outfit, like the one Melania is wearing?

(63,199 posts)W was too often described by a fawning press corp as "comfortable in his own skin," and I never knew exactly what that meant until Trump oozed along.
I don't know that I've ever seen someone so fundamentally uncomfortable at all times. He would almost be pitiable, if he weren't such a disgusting blight on humanity.
