When Melania Trump attended the Washington D.C. premiere of her Amazon documentary Melania on Thursday, her outfit served as an apt summary of the ‘First Lady style’ she has projected throughout her husband’s second term in office. For better or worse, the returning FLOTUS has certainly remained ripe for fashion analysis.
The demure ensemble, a fitted and cinched black Dolce & Gabbana skirt suit paired with sky-high Louboutin stilettos, now feels like classic Melania. Even if nobody sees the film (for which just one ticket was sold at an early screening at Vue’s flagship Islington cinema branch), they’ll probably see pictures of the severe outfit and sense its now familiar message: strength, confidence and an underlying inscrutability.
