Melania Trump, days away from returning to the White House as First Lady, drew public attention at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Wearing a black Valentino trench coat with a Peter Pan collar featuring a “rose-kiss” print by Auguste Rodin, her outfit sparked both admiration and criticism.
Some praised her choice, with one noting, “I’m glad this time, Melania found an appropriate black dress.” However, others mocked her style, calling it “pilgrim-like.” Social media reactions ranged from humor to criticism, with comments like, “She just got off the Mayflower” and “Looks like our next four years of ‘What the f— is Melania wearing?’ starts today.”
This isn’t her first fashion controversy. Past outfits, including a $51,000 floral coat and her infamous “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” jacket, have drawn backlash.
Melania appeared unusually somber at the event, as it coincided with the one-year anniversary of her mother Amalija Knavs’ passing.
