Melania - a shallow fashion thread

Im at a loss why people think TM has a good figure. My friends are all in the their mid to late 60’s are are all slim with no stoops at all And wear good fitting bras and look fab. TM has a known love of fashion but doesn’t choose what suits her. Her legs are shapeless. She holds herself like a young teenager trying to hide her height and budding breasts.

I wonder if Mrs May uses an insulin pump to treat her diabetes , are they not worn constantly ?

Melania looked pretty good as always, but she doesn’t look happy. Nothing surprising about that!
Theresa May looks ill. I detest the woman’s politics, but she is obviously under tremendous strain and seems to have become rapidly more stooped and drawn about the face in recent weeks.
I thought the red dress didn’t do her justice at all, and she should have covered her arms.
I’m sorry for both these women, and apart from a certain envy of their money, I would hate to be in their places.

Yes after a certain age it doesn't matter
GrannyGravy13; Are you obsessed with this concept of "certain age" as discussed elsewhere, or is that someone else?
Whatever; I'm still anxious to find out: "certain" makes it sound like a finite number, and I need to know before it's too late.
Ladies: Please lay off Melania; from a purely male perspective I think she looks gorgeous and I wouldn't mind if she wore nothing at all.
But I have no dress sense, so what would I know? She'd probably accuse me of being patronising or sexist! anyway: but I'd be willing to take a chance!
Oh dear; I'd better shut up before I'm told to!
Good viewing and come on the Poms

There's Melania Trump, Mrs May, Meghan Duchess of Sussex, Katie Cambridge, HRH The Queen...............and then there's Mrs Angela Merkel.

Spot which one doesn't listen to her stylists.

Given her position, whether you think her husband is, and to quote one GN, 'a boor,' or not, having the eyes of the world upon her, Melania looked beautiful. Slim with curves in the right places her choice of dress faultless no doubt having had some advice like the previous first lady Michelle Obama who I believed favoured pricy! designer Ralph Lauren. Maybe not yours' or my choice but who are we to judge Strange ?but one comment claimed the yellow dress 'irritated her'.? Pointless? as in what way can an item of clothing irritate you unless you are wearing it and its too tight etc Why should she not wear a padded jacket in summer ?. Noted Teresa has not escaped criticism either
I ask as did GrannyGravy13 Why do women pull each other apart.?

Melanie was a model. It helps! I agree she looks stunning.

Who said anything about a padded jacket?
I must have missed that.
The jacket I remember Melania was heavily criticised for was the one from Zara with a crass slogan on the back which rather contradicted her caring image.
Like it or not, clothes convey a message and can show both respect and disrespect.

I agree. I like her sense of style even if she does sometimes seem to forget where she is going (heels in Puerto Rico was not such a good look). She knows what suits her and her clothes are often interesting.
May needs better guidance although to be fair, she does have another job to do unlike Melania. Her dress could have been nice with just a small sleeve, less of a slit and a few inches shorter.

I don’t think she dresses well. When she emerged from the plane the dress was far to tight, it squashed her breasts. I also think she should try for elegance rather than sexy. The yellow creation was more suited to the Oscars.

TM wears interesting clothes which for most part I like - hats off to her for that because it's not an easy balance she has to strike. She does us all a favour, because inevitably, and whether she likes it or not, she is an advertisement for UK fashion and style. Compare her clothes with those of Frau Merkel... :-)
Melania is doing a good job of demure dressing and looks good. Hairstyle seems a bit old fashioned IMHO though !

She wore the padded jacket (Husky) on the steps of the aeroplane after they landed in Scotland.

Did anyone notice that blood sugar monitor TM had on her L upper arm? Regardless of the etiquette of sleeveless dresses it was a great advert for them!

I like Angela Merkel's style. Plain and simple. Doesn't get in the way of her role. She obviously feels comfortable in her clothes and they don't detract from what she has to say. In my view she's got it right!

Oh is that what it was Caro57? I did wonder. Surprising then that she didn't wear sleeves to cover it!
But I think it's a shame that female politicians are criticised for how they dress. Nobody does that to the men. I think they should concentrate on polucy not appearance. I always admired Shirley Williams for not being fashionably dressed.
Angela always looks smart and business like in her jackets and trousers to my.mind.

Why should tM wear sleeves to cover the blood sugar monitor?
She's a fantastic advertisement for being able to work in a highly stressful and tiring environment whilst living with type 1 diabetes.

I disagree with Panache - I think Theresa May has appalling posture! And she is gawky and awkward to a fault. However, I think Melania Trump looks like a doll or mannequin in a shop window, totally plastic. Give me a real woman like Michelle Obama any day.

Like Auntieflo, I wonder if TM has a medical problem. Her posture is that of someone with osteoporosis.
Beside which, is it really that important? Surely, as long as she looks clean and tidy, her job is more important?

I think the slouch is more to do with the fact that she is taller than her husband and tries to compensate for it. She never wears very high heels either.

Luckygirl I thought it was just me who had noticed Melanie's 'butt cheeks'!

Men do get criticised for their dress sense, or lack thereof. Michael Foot and his donkey jacket, Ken Clarke of the suede shoes and of course Jeremy Corbyn! Admittedly, it doesn't garner as much publicity as women's fashion but fashion is a massive industry for the U.K. so we need to sell it.

Michael Foot was not wearing a donkey jacket

pollyperkins, I always admired Shirley Williams, too. A real person who didn’t give a damn about her looks or what anyone thought about them.

I’ve just caught up with TM’s red dress photos and I think she looked lovely . Much better than she normally does.

Whatever MF's coat was called, it was inappropriate and is forever connected to him. It isn't just women who are critiqued.

Melania is just following her husband and her job is to look good. TM is trying to run the country as well as trying to do what (some) people want ie come out of EE. Big, big difference!
