First lady stuns: I bet designers were wishing they dressed Melania now!

Additionally, she wore a Ralph Lauren, custom-made blue suit that was reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy, whom she’s known to admire, for the swearing in ceremony.  Yahoo reports:

Her cashmere turtleneck dress fell to her knee, paired with a cropped bolero jacket and matching suede gloves. The Slovenian-born first lady wore her hair swept up, showcasing diamond stud earrings.

It was a look that channeled her 1960s predecessor Jackie Kennedy, of whom she has spoken admiringly, the wife of slain Democratic president John F. Kennedy and considered one of the most stylish first ladies.

Lauren, a 77-year-old master who personifies a rags-to-riches American dream is perhaps the country’s most iconic living designer, whose clothes define a uniquely American sense of elegance.

His decision to work with the new first lady comes after a string of other designers refused to dress her, citing opposition to her husband’s controversial policies on immigration and campaign insults.

An American first lady’s clothes have become hugely influential, believed to send implicit messages about the tone of their husbands’ administrations.

Both of these dresses will probably wind up in the Smithsonian.  After all of the hysteria over various fashion designers not wanting to clothe the First Lady, I am so glad she came out and stunned everyone.
