1. When I saw it I thought of Madame Chiang Kai-shek. n/t

[pangaia]

6. Madame Chiang had much better taste and way more brains.

[Archae]

36. I remember her...she was scary.

[LenaBaby61]

37. When I saw her, I thought of Madame Chiang Kai-shek.

I thought of fellow grifting, installed first lady Imelda Marcos' wearing one of her table cloth dresses ....

[rzemanfl]

43. That's who I was thinking off. Senior moment. n/t

[LenaBaby61]

47. Senior moment.

Hey, I'm there too buddy

[Brainstormy]

50. Beat me to it! eom

[fierywoman]

2. I thought: schmata.

[question everything]

3. That's funny. Hope a good omen for the rest of 2018 (nt)

[underpants]

UPDATE 10:17 p.m.: What is Melania wearing? It’s Erdem’s Emery floral sequined midi dress. The price? Originally priced at $5,500, the dress can now be found online for about $2,500.

[NastyRiffraff]

16. It actually looks pretty good as a shower curtain

As a dress, not so much.

[Merlot]

5. Very clever with the photoshop

[pangaia]

7. Ok, humor me, please. Which is real and which photoshopped?

[bettyellen]

8. The bathroom- you can see it has the same drag lines pulling across as are on her body.

The Melania pic is real, sadly.

[pangaia]

22. Lol. Boy am i slow

[DrDan]

46. yep - but still pretty funny

[Frustratedlady]

9. I wonder if anyone had that photo on their cell at the big shindig?

Surely, this isn't for real?

[underpants]

13. It's real

[pangaia]

23. No it isn't. I mean the curtain is fake.

[underpants]

32. Oh.

[pangaia]

35. Dont worry. Somebody had to tell me.

[niyad]

49. they all look like mannequins.

[karynnj]

14. I thought that too, but looked at the link provided for the designer

Google shows that Bergdoffs, Saks, and Neinman Marcus all carried it.

[ornotna]

20. The dress is real

The shower curtain is fake.

[doc03]

10. Reminds me of the old Gone with the Wind skit

on Carol Burnett. "Saw it in the window and just couldn't resist it"

[RoBear]

19. Perfect!

[catbyte]

48. Or "I Love Lucy" Paris episode where Ricky & Fred made horrific "designer" dresses & they took off:

I don't get the "2013 Collection" title, but this scene was hilarious when Ricky & Fred saw the "designer" dresses:

[tammywammy]

11. That dress is so ugly.

She got ripped off by paying $6k.

[underpants]

12. Effie, any thoughts?

[jmowreader]

15. Effie had MUCH better taste than Melania

[NanceGreggs]

17. She's just following Sarah Huckster Sanders' fashion lead.

Unfortunately, all the plastic picnic tablecloths were sold out - so she went with the shower curtain look as the next best thing.

[RoBear]

18. That thing

is fucking hideous.

(Fighting to keep from saying "so's the dress," but I'll resist the cheap shot)

[LenaBaby61]

40. (Fighting to keep from saying "so's the dress," but I'll resist the cheap shot).

[Initech]

21. Could you imagine the outcry if Michelle Obama had worn a $60,000 dress for NYE?

[Retrograde]

24. It was only $6000

but it's still fugly and makes her look like a cheap 10th-rate Barbie knockoff

[Initech]

26. It said $60K on the Tweet

But yeah $6,000 makes more sense.

[Skittles]

30. only?

[keithbvadu2]

25. Doesn't really matter which one is real or photoshopped.

Doesn't really matter which one is real or photoshopped.

Both cheap and tacky.

'Cheap' is not necessarily inexpensive.

[MustLoveBeagles]

27. Good point

[left-of-center2012]

28. For someone who was a model ...

She has no sense of fashion

[xxqqqzme]

58. Models have garments provided.

Outside the photo shoot, you are on your oewn.

[ProudLib72]

29. I just want to add that I HATE THOSE SLEEVES!

Is that a new thing now, puffy sleeves that are pinched at the cuffs? Horrible design.

[snowybirdie]

54. Michelle Obama

Liked sleeveless. Hence........

[ProudLib72]

61. On her worst day, after being run over by a bus

dragged through the mud by horses, and pooped on by every pigeon in the park, Michelle Obama still looked better than this.

[MarianJack]

31. Melania Trump,...

...the First Frump!

PEACE!

[pansypoo53219]

33. photoshopped, but yeah, ugly.

[gvstn]

62. Come on she is not the first of the Trump administration to do the bad dress.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

Golden Girls:

[leftofcool]

34. Hey Melania! Didn't your mother tell you black is slimming?

That dress makes you look chunky and it is horrid as well.

[smirkymonkey]

51. It is extremely unflattering, aside from being just downright tacky and ugly.

What was she thinking?

[Agschmid]

39. Photoshop win/fail I dont even know.

[George II]

41. Melania paid (or more accurately, donnie/US taxpayers) more than $5500 for that.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

42. Obvious Photoshop is obvious. nt

[Roland99]

53. The fingers on the *shower curtain* are a bit of a giveaway

[Dr Hobbitstein]

63. Indeed. nt

[LanternWaste]

60. Obvious self-validation is also obvious.

Obvious self-validation is also obvious.



It's fun to maintain the pretense of cleverness. Let us however, remember the word pretense...

[logosoco]

44. Even the child in me that spent hours playing with Barbie dolls does not like that dress! nt

[MoonRiver]

45. Makes her look fat.

[Submariner]

56. That white light reflecting off her breast implants

just ruins the photo contrast for me.

[Irish_Dem]

52. A big departure from her usual taste in clothing.

I wonder why.

[dchill]

55. O. M. G.

I actually LIKE the shower curtain.

[lapfog_1]

57. bad bridesmaid dress...

The 80s called and wanted those short puffy sleeves back.

[Corvo Bianco]

59. If a person we liked were wearing it we'd think it was lovely

fashion critiques are so silly. Except for long ties of course.
