“Unveiling Fashion’s Legacy: How Melania Trump’s Viral Inauguration Dress Sparks a Retro Style Showdown Among First Ladies!”
The first ladies’ fashion has always communicated a bigger message, notes Vanessa Friedman, the New York Times‘ chief fashion critic. For instance, Jacqueline Kennedy projected elegance with her pillbox hats and pastel suits, while Michelle Obama preferred more casual and affordable pieces and Jill Biden favored domestic designers and focused on attainability.
It was only natural then that, after Melania’s latest look went viral, netizens rushed to compare it with the most memorable Inauguration Day looks by First Ladies of the USA through the years.
The attorney and author, who was the first Black first lady, opted for a darker, more casual look for Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013, wearing a blue-checkered coat by Thom Browne, maroon gloves, and shoes from J. Crew.
Cassini created over 300 outfits for Jackie while she lived at the White House from 1961 to 1963.
Her husband, John F. Kennedy, was the first US president whose inaugural speech was broadcast in color on television.
