In recent days, the dressing sense of politicians has been garnering much attention, especially following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s decision to eschew a suit on a visit to the White House. This shift in political fashion is one of the big politics fashion trends.
Infamously, US First Lady Melania Trump made a bold statement on President Donald Trump’s first joint address to Congress. She donned a sharply tailored dark grey suit from luxury fashion brand Dior, featuring a reversible scarf detail and priced at $5,500, as reported by Business Insider. To accompany the wool tweed blazer, Melania added a matching skirt and streamlined black belt, solidifying her reputation as a bold fashionista.
Melania Trump has continued to make news with her wardrobe selections, previously enchanting the public during Trump’s celebrity-studded inauguration. It is no surprise that she prefers Dior, as the French luxury brand has been a mainstay for her at high-profile political functions.
“First Lady Melania’s night look exudes low-key power—glam, assertive, and entirely master of her presence,” Lauren A. Rothman, a style consultant and image coach, told Business Insider in an interview.
For years, Melania has been able to use fashion as a tool for conveying powerful messages. Her recent visit to Capitol Hill, where she advocated for the “Take it Down Act” to criminalize “revenge porn,” was no exception. To do this, she wore a three-piece suit by Ralph Lauren, once again proving her ability to combine fashion and purpose in politics.
