Roksanda Ilincic

Republican National Convention

Tuesday, July 19, 2016


The illusive Melania Trump introduced herself to the American people on Day 1 of the Republican National Convention at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio last night.  Before we get started, we're all aware of Speech Gate but we are here to talk about her sartorial choice so please keep political comments off the site.  The potential future FLOTUS fell into formation with other speakers and opted for a white frock.  

She took the stage dressed in the Roksanda Ilincic Margot Sheath dress, which has already sold out.  The former model purchased the piece off the rack on Net-a-Porter for $2,190. The front is all business.  The dress made a statement with the elbow length bell sleeves and an exposed zipper back. Net-a-Porter describes the Roksanda Ilincic number as a bridal piece but since when has that stopped any fashionista from wearing white? 


I appreciate Melania's love of vertiginous heels.  She strutted onto the stage in nude Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' pumps, named after supermodel Kate Moss.  Melania isn't big into over accessorizing. She kept her styling minimal with stud earrings and wore her hair in her signature messy blow out. The black version is still available at Avenue32 for $1365.
