Here’s a challenge: how do you write something interesting about style day after day, saying something more than just “I like it” or “it works”? Because style is much more than either of those two things. Sometimes, what I personally like or what I personally would put on my body (two categories that don’t always overlap) have nothing to do with what I find interesting or stylish about another person. Different aesthetics, different purpose, different personality.
Regardless, Melania Trump once again looks impeccably put-together jetting off to Paris today. Again, with the simple silhouette and color palette. This one has three bits of spice.
Aside: maybe it’s the shades, but she reminds me of Salma Hayek in this photo.
There’s that lovely white detailing that runs through the jacket seams and down the pant leg, which she echoes with the white belt. The contrast provides just enough interest to stave off “another boring black suit” syndrome.
I wonder if the belt came off on the plane. I certainly wouldn’t want to fly anywhere with a belt on.
The sunglasses are achingly current without being too obnoxious about it. The frameless style is sleek and I like how the little hit of metal at the corners mimics the stitching in her jacket.
She’s not wearing jewelry, but this outfit has enough contrast that I think a necklace would send it over-the-top, especially since this is a photo-op for boarding a plane.
And that flash of red sole is pretty great, too.
Too bad there’s not a photo of them walking away on a non-grass surface. The combination of those perfectly floor-skimming pants with the red Louboutin soles would be fun to see.
