Following a year of drama in Washington D.C. that has seen Republicans lose control of Congress and the Mueller investigation net tighten around Donald Trump, the festive season should be a time for the First Couple to relax. But the Trumps’s choice of annual Christmas photo has been met with bewilderment and a flurry of opinion about what is really going on behind those smiles. The couple chose to pose in front of the traditional Christmas trees in the Cross Hall instead of the red cranberry trees that were mercilessly mocked on social media, “where they were compared to everything from the red handmaids dresses worn by the women forced into sexual slavery in The Handmaid's Tale and the blood that flows down the hallway in the 1980 horror film The Shining” says the Daily Mail. Vogue says “the optics of the annual holiday photo have a certain surreal quality”. The couple look “almost like cardboard cutout versions of themselves”, and are also … [Read more...] about Melania Trump: 18 things you might not know about the First Lady

Melania Trump predicts in 1999 what kind of first lady she will be
Archive footage from a nearly 20-year-old interview with ABC News has revealed that the wife of the president has been thinking about her role as first lady for the last two decades. 'I will be very traditional like Jackie Kennedy,' a 26-year-old Melania Knauss tells then-correspondent Don Dahler, in an interview that first aired on December 3, 1999.

Ivanka and Melania Trump joined the US President at a dinner with business leaders in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Tuesday night. And it seems they both got the memo, as they donned pink floral dresses for the evening. Donald's wife Melania, 48, rewore her lace Monique Lhuillier dress from the Ohio rally last year. First daughter Ivanka, 36, amped up the glam in a pale pink, floral off-the-shoulder number by designer favourite Roland Mouret . While both ladies are renowned for their impeccable style, the cost of their outfits was vastly different. Melania's cocktail frock is $539 (approximately £418) but has sold out everywhere. Ivanka's ' Noblethorpe iris fil coupé dress ' will set you back £1,749 - over FOUR times as much as her step-mother's. Instagram The dresses are from two different seasons, but FLOTUS is getting more for her money by rewearing her outfits. She and Donald visited the UK in July, where they attended a black-tie dinner with Prime Minister … [Read more...] about Ivanka & Melania Trump match in pink dresses but the costs are very different

The US First Lady Melania Trump landed in the UK on Thursday afternoon and she appeared to have taken some style inspiration from the Duchess of Sussex. Melania wore the figure-hugging nude Darley midi dress by Roland Mouret, which features an off the shoulder neckline - a favourite of Meghan Markle's. Melania has worn the French label on previous occasions, but it was only yesterday that Meghan stepped out in a grey/taupe dress to meet the President of Ireland. Maybe it's just a coincidence or a subtle tribute to the American-born Duchess, who married Prince Harry in May.
