I think you're clutching your pearls a little too tightly sage. I'm no fan of Trump or Melania (like, AT ALL), and am typically last to come to their defense, but even I don't find anything particularly provocative about those outfits (with the possible exception of the neckline of the first).
Agree in principle her clothes are fine. I actually love the long white dress with the slit. However, when you consider the criticism regarding Michelle Obama's sleeveless choices, it's hard to believe they're no concerns expressed over Melamia's low necklines, tight fits and short skirts.
From an older, straight male who doesn't know anything about fashion or designers ...
I thought she looked stunning for the first time I had seen her. I think she is attractive but usually not stunning.
My wife, who does know something about it, said that the all-blue ensemble created a seamless silhouette that came off very elegant and sophisticated, along with the hair worn up for a change.
I guess that's it. I have always preferred elegant, sophisticated looking women.
I highly appreciate this look myself.
But I think that Melania could easily have it, without trying to emulate someone else.
She could have come up with something uniquely hers in this respect.
Oh good grief, that blue ensemble was beautiful. And she looked like herself, no one else.
As for the low cut clothing, I do think the First Lady should show a bit more modesty. So hopefully now that she IS the First Lady, perhaps she will. One can only hope.
Out of all Sage's photos, I only thought the first dress, the white low cut dress, was inappropriate. The others didn't bother me at all.
As for negative comments about Michelle's sleeveless dresses, I honestly never heard any. All I ever heard anyone say - from any side of the fence - was that her arms looked great. Because they did.
I don't know what she thought she was wearing at that inauguration though. Wow, talk about frumpy looking. She can be so striking. I think she really missed the mark. But then, it looked like she had been crying that day. It also looked like she's gained quite a bit of weight. Maybe not though - I don't think many people would look too good standing beside Melania Trump in that blue outfit.

B**bs hanging out is not appropriate First Lady attire.

For a regular woman, I wouldn't bat an eyelash--although clothing that shows a lot of cleavage, leg, and other body parts is not my personal preference.
However, I think that the first lady should be held to a higher standard, since she automatically becomes a role model. To be a positive role model, I think modest attire is important. It shows more self-respect, and thus, she would be leading by example. She already has a tawdry past hanging over her head. I think it would behoove her to dress in a way that would inspire other women and girls to respect themselves and not to put their body parts on display so much.
I highly doubt that she feels the need to take fashion advice from someone who uses the term 'tawdry past' about her in an online message board conversation.
