Ivanka and Melania Trump’s four year pageant has come to an end, and part of me will miss it Chloe Street
Way back, before she married her property tycoon and long before she became First Lady, Melania Knauss – as she was then known – had a vision for her White House aesthetic:
“I would be very traditional. Like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy,” she told the New York Times in 1999.
And while her four years as FLOTUS have been marred with as many fashion fails as her husband’s Twitter feed has scandals, one thing Melania – and her stepdaughter Ivanka – have delivered fairly unwaveringly on is their idealised, heel-tottering, blinged and blow-dried vision of 1960s femininity. Jackie O, but with more lip gloss and Louboutins.
