Melania Trump has had so much attention paid to her ridiculous outfits that it almost seems at this point like she’s trying to outdo herself. From wearing stiletto heels to Texas to survey the devastation from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 to the pith helmet she wore on safari in Kenya, she keeps stepping up her improper ensembles.
Then she showed up at the border in the “I Don’t Really Care Do U?” jacket, and we thought it couldn’t get worse. But she was nowhere near done. She’d already done all the weird stuff — it was time to move on to actually inappropriate attire.
Mrs. Trump showed up to Rosalynn Carter’s funeral and stood out in a sea of black with her contrasting gray overcoat, the only one in attendance not dressed in the traditional mourning color.
And as though she has something personal against the Carters specifically, she appeared on Thursday at former President Jimmy Carter’s service in what looked like a Pilgrim costume.
Yes, it was black. But the collar on this thing was white, and so big and triangular that she could have been mistaken for someone with a very mixed-up sense of holiday wear:
No one is quite sure what the soon-to-be First Lady was thinking. But they weren’t shy about what THEY were thinking. Social media was aghast at her fashion sense again.
I heard that Melania’s fashion statement from yesterday’s funeral is becoming all the rage for the elites.
It’s known as “Bitter Pilgrim” and will be available soon.

Melania was having a rough one today. The only thing clean in her closet was a pilgrim costume and she must have had a falling out with her hair and make-up team. Poor thing even has the memorial program upside down. pic.twitter.com/4v14GuPF7S

Trump cozying up to Obama at Carter’s funeral is something. And WTH is going on with Melania’s gigantic graphic picnic napkin collar. pic.twitter.com/NQctHRF9Y0

That’s the thing: It wasn’t just that she looked like a cross between the Flying Nun and Aunt Lydia. It was that the bizarre collar was printed with something no one could quite make out. Until this enterprising social media user tracked down an original photo of another model in the Valentino coat:
Let’s give a shoutout to Melania Trump’s Valentino coat with the kiss-print, pilgrim’s collar. Many people have been asking, “what’s on her collar?” It’s 2 people kissing. The first lady wore the piece to Jimmy Carter’s funeral. pic.twitter.com/Usgwl4ZxK6

Cool, cool. So, a weird-ass costume WITH a picture of people making out on it… for a former president’s funeral. She certainly hasn’t changed.
