So, I got kind of interested in Melania Trump’s fashion choices a while back. Wasn’t really about politics or anything, just saw some pictures online and thought, huh, that’s a specific look. Decided to dig into it a bit, just for my own curiosity, you know?
Getting Started
First thing I did was just start saving pictures. Went through a bunch of news sites, image search engines, stuff like that. Didn’t really have a plan, just grabbed whatever caught my eye from different events – state dinners, trips, official appearances, you name it. Ended up with a pretty big folder of photos on my computer.
Sorting Through It All
Then I started trying to make sense of it. I began grouping the pictures. Okay, these are all coats, these are dresses, these are pantsuits. Simple stuff. Then I looked closer.
- I noticed the tailoring was always super sharp. Everything seemed custom fitted, no baggy stuff really.
- Colors were often solid blocks. Not a lot of busy patterns most of the time, seemed like. Strong colors, or just classic black and white.
- Shoes were usually high heels, often stilettos.
- She seemed to favor certain designers, though I didn’t go deep into tracking every single label. You just see similar shapes and styles pop up.
It felt like a very deliberate, very controlled style. Not really casual, even when it was supposed to be more relaxed. Everything looked very put-together, very precise.
What I Noticed Along The Way
Trying to figure out the ‘why’ behind some choices was interesting. Like the coats she often wore just draped over her shoulders. Looked cool in photos, probably not very practical walking around, right? But it made for a certain silhouette.
The cost was obviously up there. You could just tell most pieces were expensive, designer stuff. Not exactly relatable fashion for everyday folks, but it was interesting to see from a purely visual standpoint. It was like looking at fashion magazine editorials, but on the news.
My Takeaway
After spending some time looking through all those pictures and making notes, I didn’t really come away with any big revelation. It was mostly just confirming that yeah, she had a very defined, high-fashion, carefully managed style. Very polished. It was an interesting little project just to observe how someone uses clothes to present themselves on such a public stage. Didn’t change my life or anything, but satisfied my curiosity. Just a rabbit hole I went down for a bit, looking at pictures and thinking about clothes.
