Unpacking Melania's unexpected Fourth of July look
What does the First Lady’s dress mean? Photo: Sarah Silbiger/Getty Images Donald Trump’s military muscle flex, I mean totally regular Fourth of July parade, was an unrelenting spectacle of tanks and star-spangled banners. The president and vice president dressed to match the cacophony of American flags, in navy-blue suits with red power ties; Second Lady Karen “Mother” Pence draped some red-white-and-blue bunting around her neck.
It’s an interesting choice for an aggressively patriotic occasion, and a definite departure from the dress code. What do you think it means? Some onlookers read the dress, an off-one-shoulder number by Carolina Herrera, as a possible rebuke of her husband’s anti-LGBTQ policies. Which … maybe? Hard maybe.
As the New York Times points out, Melania has selected similar designs — a rainbow-striped Mary Katrantzou design worn to the 2017 White House congressional picnic, which just happened to coincide with New York City’s pride parade weekend — at seemingly significant moments, suggesting possible support for an agenda that diverges from her husband’s.
So: Sartorial symbolism meant to distance herself from her husband’s administration, or simply a dress? We may never know.
