Fashion expert on clothing choices at President Trump's three Inauguration Day balls

[@susanjohnson4303]

I will repeat the comment above me: Melania looks beautiful and classic…love her hat!” The creators of her garments, for all the events, both from the design and construction perspective is true artistry. Good grief, you’re make her choice complicated, instead of just giving her an unconditional compliment for looking magnificent, presidential and inspiring.

[@CynVee]

Thank you. I couldn’t agree more.

I feel like you couldn’t see very much of her beauty with that hat on. Nothing will top the baby blue outfit she wore in 2017 drop dead gorgeous

[@mariablume1967]

@@lbabytutorials4852 exactly and therefore I expected f.ex. a lovely purple coat mad of wool with her usual elegant gloves, stillettos etc.

[@yvonnebasson8652]

She doesn't need bold jewelery and revealing outfits to be classy and elegant❤

[@SABOARITI]

The hat is wonderful thought I was disappointed to not see her face. The outfit is stupendous non the less, and I cheer her being independent.

[@ctfh1236]

She is a very mean , evil individual and she did the hat on purpose.

The hat made the outfit, but the coat was stunning. It looked really American, both cutting edge as well as reminiscent of American history.

[@judithtiangco575]

Class act, secure and fashionista! Our First Lady has timeless taste in fashion. Her message is clear. FLOTUS we love you.

[@transphotography]

Really? You think that if Michelle Obama donned that hat that you’d be saying the same? Lol. She looks like she’s the Hamburglar lurking around Trump to steal his hamburgers! 😂

[@CynVee]

The hat was amazing. I too am a hat person. Not everone can wear a hat and look good but Melania could wear a tin can on her head and make it a fashion trend. She is simply stunning and Usha also looked amazing. Regal and classy. A breath of fresh air. You are all reading too much into this. She looked classic and confident. You find me a more beautiful First Lady. I'll wait.

[@irmaiz133]

I have seen her upfront years back - drop dead GORG, shy, reserved and a non-egotistical aura and really svelte!!!! Yes, she was wearing that baby blue!!! Back then, she was engaged to Trump!!!! 💚☘️💫😅

[@lukose2007]

Good points .Sometimes it takes only one person to bring the hat back in fashion .

[@rebeccastratton4114]

Her look went from "soft and open" to "this time we mean business!" Mrs. Trump was ready to reach out to people in 2016. After being "pulled through a knot hole" for 8 years, she has come into her own power. Mrs. Trump, the First Lady, today expresses her stance on being 100% ready to push back. To stand up for her husband and our Nation. Melania Trump is on solid ground!

She would not be proud in any way. Jackie Kennedy was very liberal, so she wouldn't have even wanted anything to do with this circus. She was too dignified to step into the gutter with them.

Melania did well to wear hats. Her eyes are on the small and slanted side, not one of her better features.

[@pinkvivi9345]

Yes gorgeous outfit but I didn’t the hat was appropriate for this occasion

[@djpeach3538]

She’s hiding her facial expressions from the cameras, to make a statement…much like her jacket that the back was painted on! Plus, it blocks Donald from making facial contact with her physically.

[@janeecejjf2001]

Well it’s too bad she didn’t have one on the backside to keep creepy Joe from trying to grope her. That was disgusting. He just can’t keep his hands off of women and children.

[@sherrybelcher-dpes1194]

I feel for her. I think she did not want to be there but knew she had to support her husband and America. At one point I thought I saw tears when she came in like "Here I am again". She looked lovely but the hat covering her face so much bothered me. Mrs. Vance was certainly delightful. Two different personalities for sure

[@transphotography]

@@sherrybelcher-dpes1194 Finally, one of the rare honest comment in this comment section. Or maybe you’re just more fashionable and sensible than the rest who will simply say anything for a dashing chance at acceptance.

[@gritsgalraisedinthesouth]

Melania's a fashion MODEL from a EUROPEAN country. Of course she wears international designers🙄. Dolce & Gabbana literally laughed at every designer who she NEVER even asked to design clothes for her.

[@loristoneking4536]

It seems she practiced by wearing that Navy and white or black and white outfit with the large white collar to Jimmy Carters funeral but it was so chic and sophisticated.

Isn’t that obvious for everybody that she chose that outfit to hide ? To not “be” there ? To not be associated with that day ? Plus, it is very dark. Very simple.

The hat was not a good look for the inauguration. Too bad

Michelle Obama wore a light color for the 1st inauguration and a dark color for the 2nd.

I think Melania wore this color outfit because the inauguration was in Jimmy Cater’s state funeral time, she respected that.

I don't know why people liked this. It was horrible You couldn't even see her face really bad choice

[@annalee8968]

I am Melania fan but she looked beautiful for a funeral. We could not see her face. She looked too stiff and somber for the occasion. Mrs Vance looked perfect for the occasion. Is Melania trying too hard to be authoritative or professional? Too Stiff and distance, not sure mystic essence working here.

[@sug1733]

That is exactly what I thought. In fact, I do not think she has a "great style" at all, because that is something you develop throughout the years... and we all have seen pictures of her before she was First Lady. But she seems to be a reasonable woman and has the resources, stylists, etc. and has accepted to change and look more conservative now. But yesterday's is precisely the kind of “faux pas” made by someone who has no style of her own.

[@loristoneking4536]

That senator in that Kelly green dress was standing out all day. Very pretty.

[@gherimilanian1603]

Perhaps she was presenting a reagal look. She looked stunning and elegant. Not many can carry such an appearance so well. I also agree that the chosen color and look was intentional. She wore it well!

I think she chose the hat because 1) she didn't want to have to kiss Donald, and the brim intervened; and 2) she doesn't want people looking at her face, because she likes her privacy, and 3) she doesn't want to be forced to smile all day.
