FASHIONABLE former First Lady Melania Trump looks like a boss when with her outfits, and her husband Donald Trump could take a few tips, a celebrity stylist has said.
Melania will go down in history as one of the most well-dressed first ladies in history, but Trump’s looks may be remembered for the wrong reasons.
A self-made businesswoman with humble Slovenian roots, Melania rocketed to success with her modeling career that spanned brands in Europe and America.
She spent her young adulthood developing an eye for fashion and later created her own jewelry and makeup brand.
By the time she took the White House in 2016, Melania was known more so for being the wife of a real estate scion Trump, but still stood out for her classy appearance.
Despite being slammed for wearing expensive European designers, Melania continued to don expertly crafted pieces and told her critics what she really thought with an iconic Zara jacket that had the message, “I really don’t care, do you?”
Speaking exclusively to The U.S. Sun, celebrity stylist Amanda Sanders said that Melania nearly always looks “exquisite” because she has a body built for fashion.
“She’s tall and she’s statuesque, so clothes just drape better on her,” said Sanders, who works as Chris Rock’s lifelong dresser.
“I mean, she lived in New York and Palm Beach and she knows how to dress.”
Sanders clapped back at critics who slammed Melania’s expensive taste, saying, “She is the wife of a real estate mogul. So, it’s not like a Birkin bag wasn’t something she had before.”
When asked what Melania’s fashion says about her, Sanders said she thinks the former first lady looks like “the boss.
“I always think she looks incredibly confident and well put together,” Sanders said.
“The hair is never fussy, we don’t see her overdressed with jewelry. She sort of keeps it on the DL.
“She could be much flashier and I think she’s OK being in the background.”
Melania always takes a backseat to her husband who, according to Sanders, could take advantage of some of her fashion advice.
Trump is known for wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt and solid red tie, the latter of which is essential to his look, Sanders said.
“We always think red brings power. You know, it’s ‘stop,'” she said.
“It connotates that I’m the boss.”
However, on Trump, the tie doesn’t quite have the same effect.
Sanders criticized Trump for having “ill-fitting suits” and always wearing open jackets.
“They’re kind of oversized and dated… Now men are wearing their suits very slim.”
In Sanders opinion, Trump should work with a stylist or image consultant, but she doesn’t foresee that happening anytime soon.
“I don’t know if he would listen. Sometimes you get in through the wife if the wife pushes that,” she said.
“There are a lot of politicians that will listen. I don’t think Trump is one of them. Especially not from a woman.”
Melania has been missing from Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign since he announced his run in November 2022, but was seen smiling with her husband at a Trumpettes gala, The Palm Beach Post reported.
She also made an appearance at fellow former first lady Rosalynn Carter’s funeral where she was slammed for wearing a gray coat instead of black.
And in a surprise moment earlier this year, Melania gave an emotional speech about her childhood at her mother Amalija Knavs’ funeral.
While Melania continues to make rare appearances, her husband continues to crush the polls ahead of the GOP Primary.
He’s outlasted all of his opponents, save for Nikki Haley who recently said at an event that she would run until the bitter end.
