(5,101 posts)It was totally inappropriate.
I'm not sure I was very understandable since I thought in French then translated in English, I said this on another post :
What is that she is wearing ?
Doesn't she have an advisor to tell her how to wear appropriatly ?
She is supposed to be an official representing a country. Not a whore who forgot an appointment and who have put on the first piece of fabric he could get her hands on.

(90,686 posts)High neckline, sleeves -- what did I miss?
syringis
(5,101 posts)It is too short.
I'm not at all prudish but to me it is not the way an official should be dressed. She i supposed to represent all citizens from any condition, any belief, any moral, what she is wearing fits more an ordinary woman.
I don't like it anyway.

(24,653 posts)But I agree with you. I don't think she looks whorish, but I find the length of skirt entirely inappropriate for such an occasion. She looks like she's dressed for a sorority event to me. And this from a woman who was both in a sorority and enjoys wearing short skirts. Personal opinion, but I would opt for much closer to the knee when on the public stage like this.
syringis
(5,101 posts)But really this family is really unfit for the job.
In addition, I found it was ironic when talking about harassement.
Not hard to imagine stupid reactions such as "no wonder why she get harassed when dressed as she is"...
I would probably have explained better in French.
Pacifist Patriot
(24,653 posts)I once got thoroughly lashed for saying I thought yoga pants and a ratty sweatshirt looked out of place in my classroom where the other students were attired in what we would think of as "business casual." Oh boy, you'd have thought I was slut shaming the girl or something. Some even jumped to the conclusion that I was holding it against her when I said nothing of the sort. Actually, she was one of my favorite students with a brilliant mind. That experience has made me reluctant to comment on sartorial choices, but I'll risk the fray on this one. That skirt's too damned short. LOL!
Hekate
(90,686 posts)She's no schoolgirl: she's playacting at being a presidential advisor, and yes, should dress conservatively. Aside from the fact that it should be 3 inches longer and I don't care for the outfit in toto, I think the (translated) French critique is over the top.

(36,851 posts)one of the outfits that she wore during her visit. It was for a dinner event, but...
Here is the link (I know it is from the Daily Mail, but they are usually spot on with this superficial sort of thing):

I am having Pretty in Pink flashbacks, but not in a good way.
I exagerated a bit.
I tend to be harsh when it comes to the Trump family.

Picture The Dotard arriving for a meeting with a head of state while wearing Bermuda shorts.
I know - mind bleach!

Trump in a bermuda ?
Hmmm...a good way to boost textil industry. He just have to order 2 or 3 and the company reach the target expected for the year.

(45,442 posts)I get that pantsuits are associated with Hillary and Dems. But skirt suits exist. Maybe she wears clothes she designed herself.
syringis
(5,101 posts)Skirt suits exist and some are really great. Gives a professional look and very feminine.
If she designed it, she better look to hire a real designer...
Besides the fact it is not appropriate, it is simply awful.

It is disturbing the way he act with her and talk about her.

(19,201 posts)is just about as empty as her head. They were being very kind when they said the place was half full.
I'll apologize in advance, but she always looks like a cheap whore to me. Fake boobs, collagen injections, botox injections, and enough makeup on for Japan's entire Kabuki Theater troupes. Not my kind of girl, anyway. Some like that plastic, vapid look I guess.
"enough makeup on for Japan's entire Kabuki Theater troupes"
She and her mother-in-law are vulgar. What a difference with Hillary Clinton, Michele Obama and many other first ladies.
About make up, each time I see Melania or Ivana, I can help myself to think they have put enought make up on their face to sink an ocean liner...
