Melania Trump's outfits are a recurring topic. Photographers watch the First Lady of the United States around the clock for fresh material. Their persistence pays off handsomely. Photos of the wife of the current President of America reap a rich harvest of views in the very first hours. No other Russian politician or his wife can boast of such close attention to their style and taste.

How does Melania Trump dress in terms of style?
The wife of the current US President went through 3 stages. At the very beginning of the marriage, she was regarded as a beautiful trinket and an appendage to a very wealthy, influential man. Melania did not struggle with the public’s attitude towards herself. On the contrary, it created grounds for gossip. She was helped in this not only by the large age difference with her husband, but also by very revealing outfits. Mrs. Trump could appear at a reception in a tight-fitting mini, the style of which left no room for flight of fancy - and without her everything was perfectly visible.
Over time, America's first lady began to move towards elegance and restraint. The path was long and thorny. During her transition, Melania was systematically criticized.
INTERESTING! The public, bloggers and designers vied with each other to scold the wife of the current US President for her unformed style and lack of taste. And these were not empty words, problems were really present.
The culmination of the negative attitude towards Melania is the scandal with her personal stylist. The incident coincided with the announcement of the results of the US presidential election. Because of this, an ordinary work process, an ordinary breach of contract, grew to the level of a global scandal.
INTERESTING! A wave of negativity even covered Dolce Gabbana.
The effect of the combination of 2 events was so colossal that many fashion gurus gave Mrs. Trump a hard time.For them, she became persona non grata, whose tastes and appearances are automatically worthy of reproach and condemnation, regardless of the context.
In this difficult moment, Ralph Lauren came to the rescue of the first lady. His white jumpsuit, worn by Melanie at her first appearance in her new social status, was able to soften the public and mark the completion of Mrs. Trump's transformation. Now she is called nothing less than a style icon. The direction she has chosen is called “heavy luxury”. Its characteristic features:
- the fabulous cost of shoes, clothes, jewelry and accessories;
- monotony;
- balance of length, fit and cut;
- balance of color and decorative elements;
- elegance and restraint, multiplied by femininity;
- be careful when playing with texture.
Melania differs from other admirers of heavy luxury in that she allows herself not only shoes with wedges or heels. She knows how to wear flat-soled shoes. In her execution, such models do not look like something alien in a business style.
Favorite houses and designers of the former fashion model:
- Dior;
- Saks;
- Bergdorf;
- Michael Kors.
In terms of color, for this woman there is nothing closer than soft shades of white, bottle green, powdery, soft pink, black.
Comparison of Melania with Russian political figures
Not a single Russian female politician can boast of the title of fashion icon or the close attention of fashion photographers. Many of the old guard of deputies were never able to banish the ghost of the Soviet era from their wardrobes. Well, representatives of the new generation are strained to play with democratic outfits. The latter were much closer to Mrs. Obama, but not to Mr. Trump's wife. Melania never intended to appear simpler or closer to the people.
Ksenia Sobchak stands apart from the listed categories of modern Russian politicians. It's no secret that in the last 2-3 years she has dramatically changed her image. And, apparently, when choosing a new role, she was guided precisely by Melania’s taste and style. Ksenia Anatolyevna has already been caught several times for completely or partially recreating a specific image of Mrs. Trump.
It's high time to take care of your politicians, but don't confuse them with former fashion models and don't forget that Trump is the first lady and they don't have to dress like politicians. Ksenya Sobchak was a presidential candidate and her minus is that she imitates the president’s wife. As for Lady Trump, she is praised for what she can afford to do, plus the fashion model does not wear everything well or perfectly. But our politicians don’t understand style and most of them look like ordinary girls. We need to deal with them closely.
