Fashion Notes: With ‘Melania’ Film, The First Lady Gets Revenge on the Fashion Industry that Snubbed Her

I saw an X post recently from a left-wing feminist that summed up First Lady Melania Trump’s treatment by the fashion press so succinctly.

“If her husband were a democrat, we’d worship her,” Brianna Wu, a former Democrat congressional candidate from Massachusetts, wrote. Have truer words ever been spoken about a First Lady in these modern times?

On her husband’s inauguration day last year, Melania Trump set the tone for what has become her second round in the White House. It was an expression of a new attitude for Mrs. Trump, a vibe shift that even Kim Kardashian couldn’t help but notice.

The world saw that vibe shift loud and clear — no one was going to set the narrative for this first lady.
