When an 8-year-old from Alabama was asked to dress up as her favorite First Lady of the United States for a school project, she immediately chose the accomplished Melania Trump and didn't just pull it off, she managed to capture the precise image of the First Lady during her husband's historic inauguration. The result was a "mini-Melania" look that is sure to earn this young student a high grade for her class project, as long as her teacher holds back any negative political opinions they have and judges on merit alone.
As a call back to the days of Jackie Kennedy, Melania Trump wore a sky blue Ralph Lauren ensemble that included a cashmere cropped jacket and mock turtleneck dress, suede gloves and clutch, all in sky blue. Melania arrived at the inauguration with a gift that matched her dress, handing Michelle Obama what seemed to be a Tiffany's box as she greeted the outgoing First Lady on the steps of the White House.
The young student chose to mimic Melania's acclaimed outfit, which turned out impressively close, which included a power blue slip dress, three-quarter-sleeve wrap jacket, matching shoes, gloves, and pearl earrings. She even added a copy of the blue Tiffany's box with white ribbon, which matches the gift that Melania gave to outgoing First Lady Michelle Obama.
Melania Trump's sense of fashion isn't the only quality for young women to emulate, as she immigrated to the United States legally, began her modeling career at the age of 16, started her own line of jewelry and is fluent in 5 different languages. All qualities that make her much more than just a fashion icon, but also an intelligent and strong willed woman.
All politics aside, even critics of Donald Trump can appreciate a young girl's role model and passion in looking up to our country's First Lady for inspiration, right?
Omg my 9 year old would be sooooo JEALOUS! This kid looks fabulous! Well done!!!
Pity the kid who decided to dress up as former FLOTUS Obama.
I could loan the girl a couple pillows to tuck under her drapery dress!!
Heartbreaker in training. LOL... cute kid. If she grows up with the poise, intelligence and grace of our current FLOTUS - she’ll do fine.
This girl is going to be a heartbreaker at 16!
She’s a super adorable deplorable!!
I wonder if mom/grandma made that dress for her. They could sell the pattern!!
Awesome.
A 9 year old who dressed classy instead of like a slut.
What a treat!
All the Wookie costumes were taken.
Yes, I was wondering who made her outfit! They did a brilliant job!
How precious!
Such a lovely, poised role model for young ladies.
I bet she has all the little boys in her class wrapped around her sweet little fingers.
And Melania really does raise Barron. She has never used nannies. She is totally hands in, she takes him to school in the morning, like any other mom.
That is so very very cool!
A BEAUTIFUL OUTFIT on a beautiful girl! (In both cases,
Melania & Mini-Melania.)
Surely you are not talking about the young girl modeling
nude?! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
Ack, she is going to break some hearts in the not so distant future.
PING! What a great post! Thank you. What a cute kid and her parents raised her right! Beautiful.
Wonder if mom made the dress? I used to make WWII uniforms for our son when he was about that age. It was so much fun! To this day we laugh at all the hours we spent boiling the pale fabric in bags and bags of tea to get the color just right. We modeled them on the uniforms we saw on the “Band of Brothers” series, and examined every button and tuck.
