The hysterically catty verdict on Hillary Clinton's 'figure' that stylists whisper behind her back... and why so many Democrat women have terrible fashion sense
The hysterically catty verdict on Hillary Clinton's 'figure' that stylists whisper behind her back... and why so many Democrat women have terrible fashion sense

For a Democratic party now struggling to understand how it can compete with the charisma – and perhaps the policies – of a second Trump administration, the left would do well to convince Michelle Obama to take a deep breath and turn up at a few more public events.

Her absence from President Trump's inauguration earlier this month meant that the 24.6 million people who tuned in to witness this spectacle looked from Melania's headlining chic directly on to a drab and completely uninspiring version of Democratic femininity.

America, said the newly inaugurated 47th President on January 20, has entered a new 'golden age.' And, indeed, when it came to his family's inauguration wardrobe choices, that new era might be more accurately described as 'the gilded age.'. Immaculately coiffed and coutured, the Trump women, led by Melania and her stepdaughter Ivanka, reminded us all just what they're good at. It was hard to look away.

Melania's slim-fit silk navy wool coatdress topped with a dramatic boater was at once elegant and mysterious since her eyes were almost entirely obscured by the hat's sumptuous brim. It was an undoubted scene stealer, infusing Trump 2.0's leading lady with a regal aura that supporting actress Ivanka - clad in a green Dior 'New Look' skirt-suit complete with matching fascinator - echoed with seamless precision.

Melania, above all, has mastered the art of performative dressing, combining razor-sharp tailoring with European chic. These women had dressed to impress a nation primed for a show. Just as a queen wears a tiara to dazzle, a First Family (at least a Trump one) dons couture to wow.
