Oh come on wildswan she must still buy clothes or have someone buy them for her . She/they just don’t seem to get it right . Nothing to do with her slight slouch either Panache which I didn’t mention . She just looks wrong and awkward in most of what she wears .

I loved that lemon yellow dress last night. Summery but formal but not too formal. She has the height to carry off the drama drapery around the neckline.

no comments about the politics, I just want to gossip about the clothes!

There was something 'off' about the cut of TM's red dress last night but I can't figure out what. Not as flattering as usual?

“Model” in the broadest sense? ?

I doubt Theresa May has much time for going fashion shopping at the moment. She has rather more important things on her mind. Melania does look lovely, but she is an ex model and not a "working" wife so has plenty time to spend upon herself.

Yes I believe she was a model Fennel. She certainly Hasn’t lost it though.

Again I totally sgeee with you Sparkle as you say “you’ve either got it or you haven’t” nothing to do with money at all.

Wasn't Melania a model before meeting Trump?

Agred that TM has a slight slouch GillyB.......hence adding "in the main" as I did not want to appear down right rude.......having a similar stance myself now after too many serious illnesses...... it is a bit of a sore point!!!

Money cannot buy you beauty, but my word it can certainly go a long way in transforming looks!!

Not unkind Eloethan just honest .

If you look at Melania, TM and their husbands when they were standing in a straight line for the photographs. you can see how TM hunches so that her chest area is closed - that is not confident body language.

Not sure that money/unlimited budget makes any difference ... look at Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. IMO you either got it or you ain't (style, that is!)

You are very unkind to yourself gillybob.

I don’t agree that TM holds herself well either Panache she mostly looks really awkward.

gillybob Fri 13-Jul-18 11:52:34

If I were a multi billionaire I wouldn’t look a fraction as good as she does ( and I’m not just talking about my pig ugly face either) . It takes much more than good looks to carry yourself the way she does.

Melania Trump certainly carries of all her clothes well and has a good stylist or a good eye herself,this primrose evening dress was undoubtedly stunning,suiting her stature perfectly.............but I think any one of us,given the money and opportunities such people have at their finger tips,would look equally good.

Teresa May is completely different but again has good stature and she holds herself well (in the main) and has a good dress sense keeping her look modern,certainly far from frumpy, and right for the various meetings and travelling she does.
I am not altogether sure the red evening dress.......apart from the questionable split!!!.......with its bare arms was exactly becoming for a lady of her age although obviously retaining a good figure.
I think a little more "up top,sleeveways" and a lesser split might have been far more attractive.

Just as I have said on another thread sparklefizz . I totally agree with you . She always dresses impeccably, so stylish . The yellow (or was it gold I couldn’t tell) gown she wore was amazing and how well she carries herself too . Her advisor ( if she has one) could do with giving TM a few lessons . Not saying she should prance around in a yellow ball gown but she always looks so dowdy and out of place.

Doesn't Melania Trump always look fabulous? (except for that recent parka with the "Who cares" message).

I thought last night's yellow dress was absolutely stunning when they arrived at Blenheim Palace (did not think Teresa May's dress with a high split up the back was ideal for people following up steps behind her!) and today she looks gorgeous too. Her fashion sense is pretty much spot-on in my opinion.
