First Lady Melania Trump’s State Dinner Gown Dazzles Fashion World (kudos from Soho, Manhattan!)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBSNewYork) – President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania hosted their first state dinner at the White House on Tuesday.

Now, the first lady’s clothes have more than just fashion experts talking.

Many of the items at the retail store Necessary Clothing in SoHo, Manhattan are influenced by celebrity styles — with price tags most can afford. Soon, the store’s assistant buyer says you may see their selection turn a little bit more presidential.

“After seeing Melania’s stunning, masterful piece… That is something I hope one day we get to carry at Necessary Clothing,” said Leeanna DeSimone.

The dress she’s referring to is a CHANEL gown that sparkled and stole the show.

“Melania is really bring it to us. She is a fashion icon in my eyes,” DeSimone said.

“I think that style was very elegant,” one man said.

“It was very nice, chic, it was cute. I liked it,” a woman added.

The first lady wore a Michael Kors blazer and skirt to the arrival ceremony, which you can buy online for nearly $2,000, along with a custom-made white brimmed hat by Herve Pierre.

The dress Melania wore to the state dinner was donated to her from CHANEL and will be gifted to the National Archives.

Neighborhood in Lower Manhattan.

Yup. SoHo stands for "south of Houston" if I recall. Houston is pronounced Howston there - not Hughston - and is a street

She is the most beautiful First Lady ever. Jackie O comes a distant second.

SOHO = South of Houston Street (pronounced in NYC as “Howston Street”)...

How stupid are those other designers? They had golden opportunities to have their designs displayed to the world by a woman who could make absolutely anything look beautiful.

You certainly can’t buy advertising like that.

It’s just amazing how Melania envisioned the pantsuit as a stunning gown.

She wore it so well......her design raised the gown to another dimension of sophistication.

BTW, the buzz is Michele O's designers detested her....but they needed to get their names out there, so they grinned and bore her tirades.

Her designers' revenge was to design, then tell her she looked stunning, in the ugliest outfits....hard to believe the ghetto gal actually wore some of this horrid stuff. Remember the chenille bedspread she wore at the Inaugural ball?

Obama female became a poster board for mediocre designers. Their runway model so to speak.

I don’t particularly like MO dresses, but I think what attracted people to her style, apart from their love of her just because she is a leftist, is that in her style is a somewhat awkward, but apparent sense of fun.
