The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute dedicated it's 2005 exhibit to Chanel.  For the opening gala, Melania, who was now Mrs. Trump, wore a stunning black strapless gown with a mermaid tulle bottom by Alexander McQueen.  She accessorized the dramatic frock with a Chanel bow broach worn at the knee and carried a tiny Chanel bag. 

 


In 2007, Melania dressed in a gold fringed Roberto Cavalli dress and Manolo Blahnik peep-toe heels for the Poiret: King of Fashion themed Met Gala.  We love the flapper inspired outfit.
Melania was pretty in Pink at the 2008 Met Gala.  For the Superhero themed gala, she wore a mermaid gown with a ruffled bottom by Vera Wang.

Melania stepped up her style dressed in a sleek black gown and belt by Dolce & Gabbana for the 2009 “Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion” themed Met Gala.  She wore the belt again with a pink Dolce & Gabbana dress a few months later.

Melania tapped Project Runway winner Christian Siriano to design her 2010 Met Gala gown.  The theme of the exhibit was "American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity."

  For the 2011 Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit opening, Melania opted to wear a gold sequined gown by Reem Acra, which she styled with her go-to gold Alexander McQueen Skull Box Clutch.  

The Costume Institute paid homage to Muiccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli in 2012.  For the “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations" themed opening gala, Melania went rocker chic in a sharp shoulder white Marc Bouwer Couture mini dress.  She paired the dress with glittery Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps. 

It's no secret Mrs. Trump has a love affair with Chanel.  She's often seen toting around a quilted clutch from the iconic French brand to galas, parties and events, including the debates earlier this year. She is a creature of habit and stocks up on things she loves.

She buys the same Chanel clutch and handbag styles in different colorways to match her outfits.  The same goes for her signature Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps and SolaSofia Flats.

Though we rarely see her in anything but Manolos and Louboutin's, Melania showed off her perfect pedicure in the Aquazurra Wild Russian Fur & Suede Sandals ($895) on an evening out with husband Donald. Wearing her signature Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish on her toes, she looked poised for a night out on the town in the fun yet sophisticated fur ankle strap sandal. She paired the sandal with a black dress, black coat and black Chanel clutch.

The Aquazurra Wild Russian Fur & Suede Sandal is a suede covered shoe embellished with black mink fur pompom strap at the toe, wraparound suede ankle strap and pompom ties. 

The sandals retail for $895 and come in multiple colorways, including burgundy and dove grey suede. These are perfect for a night out in the fall and winter, especially for a woman of means like Melania, who is used to door-to-door service. 

 
In an interview with Allure magazine back in 2011, Melania told the magazine that she likes to get pampered in the privacy of her own home.

" I have a little spa at home. I put together a room where I get massages, pedicures, manicures. It's comfortable in my own home and it's very private. It's very relaxing," she tells the magazine.

Melania prefers to get her well manicured groomed once a week whether she's at home in New York or Palm Beach.  She isn't one to go along with trendy colors each season.  She prefers to keep her fingernails clean with a nude polish.  She wears Essie Mademoiselle, a subtle pink described as "the most classic, grown-up pink."  She also loves Essie Macks, a deep ruby red shade for her nails when she wants a splash of color. 

When she wears her peep-toe Manolo Blahnik or Christian Louboutin heels, Melania prefers a deep red shade on her toe nails. She likes Essie Macks and Essie A-List,  a creamy red shade, in the summer and Essie Berry Naughty in the winter.  

Melania likes nude pink shades or creamy reds and wine stained colors for her toes.  Though Essie is her brand of choice, she also loves Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish
 

Our future First Lady Melania Trump has been flying under the style radar since the election cycle started due to her husband's polarizing stances on policy.  Despite her gaffe at the RNC Convention this summer, she's been a consummate wife to President-elect Trump and mother to son Baron. Though most fashion mags and pubs refuse to cover Mrs. Trump's style as much as Mrs. Obama's this blog will serves as the ultimate destination for everything this former model has worn and will wear.

While the entire world waited with baited breath for the election results on November 8th, our First Lady in waiting was prepping to make her debut to the world as the new FLOTUS.  When her husband Donald hit the stage for his victory speech, Mrs. Trump was right by his side looking ethereal in a white one shoulder jumpsuit.

Melania was a vision in white, opting for a fashion forward jumpsuit by American designer Ralph Lauren, who dressed Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign season.  Instead of a dress like other former First Ladies, Melania chose to set a new tone by wearing the Margerie One-shoulder Silk Jumpsuit ($4,259), a buttery silk number with elegantly draped sleeves and a side slit on the wide leg trousers.  Melania kept the styling of the Ralph Lauren palazzo style jumpsuit simple with a diamond bracelet and pointed toe nude pumps.

Happy Election Day America! Today is the day we all decide if this blog continues or shuts down come midnight. Kidding! In all seriousness, this heated election has been highly toxic for our country with mudslinging from both sides of the aisle.  Donald Trump got the Trump clan into formation and headed to their polling station in Manhattan to cast their ballots for the next President of the United States. Ivanka and her daughter tagged along for the voting trip.  If you're reading this, please make sure you vote. No matter who you're supporting, your vote is important.

As you know, Melania Trump became a citizen of the United States so she exercised her right as an American to vote, which she did today.  The potential future FLOTUS showed up dressed to the hilt.  Mrs. Trump was all business showing America she is ready to be front and center championing causes to "Make America Great Again."

Melania kept her outfit to a neutral tone, opting for a military style, double-breasted camel coat by Balmain on top of a blush pink Michael Kors Sheath dress.  Of course she kept her eyes cloaked from the paparazzi cameras with oversized sunglasses.  Melania is not one to shy away from vertiginous heels.  She wore her go to nude Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' Pumps to complete her outfit.  The $3660 Balmain coat is still available on several websites, including Louisaviaroma, Farfetch and Barneys.

Election Day is almost here and both candidates are making their last ditch pleas for votes.  Melania joined her husband Donald Trump for a rally in Berwyn, Pennsylvania yesterday in an effort to win votes in that swing state.  The potential First Lady hit the stage to talk about her vision for what she would do as fist lady, which included women and families. 

Melania looked poised on stage as she spoke to the large crowd of admirers.  She chose British designer Emilia Wickstead for the event.  Her outfit consisted of a high-waisted pencil skirt and the Emilia Wickstead 'Silvia' silk blouse from the designer's Spring/Summer 2016 collection.   


The dusty rose silk blouse has a high neckline with a loosely draped top and fitted waist.  It has 3/4-length sleeves and a back closure, making it perfect for a high waist skirt.  Oscar winner Brie Larson wore the same top earlier this February to the Oscars luncheon. Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge popularized the designer, Emilia Wickstead, making her a global name in fashion.  Her pieces can be found on Moda Operandi, Net-a-Porter and Shopbop.

Thank God the debates are now over! Now we can focus on some style. Last night, Melania Trump and step daughter Ivanka came ready to slay in all black.  The potential First Lady looked solemn but well-suited for her final nationally televised appearance before the election.  For the emotionally charged debate, Melania chose a black sleeveless jumpsuit by American designer Ralph Lauren. 

The Ralph Lauren Sheryl Tie-Front Jumpsuit was the second tie front jumpsuit the former model has worn in the past month. She recently wore the Gucci Pussy-bow blouse to the second debate.  She pulled inspiration from our current FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, who is known for showing off her arms. 

Melania cinched the the jumpsuit waist with a black patent belt and kept her look sleek with a black patent Alexander McQueen Skull Box Clutch.  It's worth noting that Ivanka Trump also chose all black for the event but opted for a peplum, over the shoulder top to match her black trousers.

Oye Vey! The term "pussy" has been circling around the media since the release of Donald Trump bragging about grabbing women "by the pussy." His words, not mine.  Though her husband has since labeled the tape as "locker room banter" and somewhat apologizing, we're having none of it.  It's not alright to brag about sexual harassment.  The presidential hopeful's wife, Melania, has been taking it all in stride.  She caused a bit of Twitter commotion last night with her choice of blouse for the Presidential Debates.

The FLOTUS hopeful was pretty in pink and white and kept it cool in a Gucci Fuschia Pussy-Bow Silk Crepe de Chine Shirt. There was speculation whether she chose this type of blouse as a fashionable way of shutting down the "pussy" talk.  Whatever her reason, the pussy bow set the internet ablaze.  But since we're here to talk about style....

Melania paired her pink bracelet sleeve blouse with a pair of tailored cropped pink pants.  She definitely likes pushing the envelope because instead of black accessories, especially after Labor Day, Mrs. Trump opted for white Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' pumps and a white clutch.  She is a huge fan of Christian Louboutin and owns the 'So Kate' style in several colorways.

Mrs. Melania Trump did not come to play with you ladies! She came to slay and slay she did on Monday night wearing one of her favorite designers, Roland Mouret for the first presidential debate at Hofstra University. 

Mrs. Trump is a big fan of Roland Mouret's sheath dresses and has worn several of his pieces throughout the years.  Step-daughter Ivanka Trump is also a fan.  Melania turned heads wearing the off-the shoulder Roland Mouret 'Belvedere' sheath dress.  The asymmetrical neckline and below the knee length of this dress was perfect for the event.  Off the shoulder looks have been such a big hit this summer and its no wonder this style setter is in tuned with the trend. 

She completed her look with a black boxed clutch and black pointed toe pumps.  “Tonight at the First Presidential Debate! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain,” Melania captioned a picture of herself with Donald at the end of the debate.  The Trump Squad came along with Melania, including Ivanka, who wore a blush pink dress for the event.

The Roland Mouret 'Belvedere' Sheath Dress is a favorite among countless celebrities, including Heidi Klum. 

Melania Trump accompanied her husband, presidential hopeful Donald Trump, to the Today Show this morning for a town hall meeting with Matt Lauer.  Trump has been gaining momentum as of late and as polarizing as his policy stances might be, he's garnered an impressive following that won him the New York primary. 

For the appearance, Mrs. Trump chose to button up in a white funnel collar Valentino coat with large buttons and cream dress underneath.  She accessorized the look with lilac Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' 120mm pumps, a favorite style she's been seen on the red carpet wearing on several occasions.

Melania Trump as in Wisconsin today campaigning for her husband, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump. She took the stage to show support for the business mogul, who is in the midst of several controversies surrounding women's issues.

“No matter who you are, a man or a woman, he treats everyone equal,” Melania told supporters in Milwaukee. “He’s a fighter. As you may know by now, when you attack him, he will punch back 10 times harder.”

For her appearance, Mrs. Trump wore the Giambattista Valli Green Satin-trimmed Crepe Mini Dress, recently sold out.
