Melania Trump came out wearing a classic black suit while accompanying her husband Donald Trump during a late-night speech in which he falsely claimed that he had already won the election.

The First Lady made a special appearance, standing alongside her husband Donald Trump on stage as she tried to claim victory despite the vote counting still continuing.

She was wearing a Dolce & Gabbana pantsuit paired with a buttoned white blouse and finished the look with simple black shoes.

While one body language expert described the First Lady’s elegant outfit as “funeral black” and said it looked “gloomy,” some Twitter users described the look as “elegant” and “confident.”

Other commenters have pointed out that the sophisticated suit was very different from the light and sparkly dress she wore earlier in the day to cast her vote: a sleeveless chain and a horse print dress by designer Gucci estimated to cost around $ 6,275 The Express reported.

The designer’s outfit was paired with Christian Louboutin pumps and a Kelly bag from Hermes, bringing the total cost to around $ 30,000.

While printing is an iconic style long associated with the Italian fashion house, several people claimed that the chain’s design looked like “handcuffs” and accused it of sending a “message” with her outfit.

He also chose to vote without a mask, a move that Americans did not like after more than 230,000 people lost their jobs to the coronavirus since the pandemic began.

Despite flashing a big smile at the event, body language expert Judi James told Britain’s The Mirror that Melania Trump looked “grim.”

“Melania’s cue facial expression may be beautifully impassive and Sphinx-like, but today’s change in mood was dramatic, although the actual expression changes were subtle,” said James.

“Gone was the broad smile that she had worn during the election campaign, which had been so strong that people had even started to ask if she was a body double.

In its place was a gloomy brace as she gazed at her husband in his funereal black pantsuit and as Trump’s sons buzzed with enthusiasm as if celebrating a great victory, it was Melania’s appearance that told a very different story.

She applauded her husband to show her support, but it was the lift of her chin that had the biggest impact.

“It seemed like a gesture of defiance that matched Trump’s narrative.”

She wasn’t the only Trump to sport a striking black suit last night, and Ivanka also opted for a jacket and pants combo.

The senior advisor, and Donald’s daughter, kept her buttons fastened for the conference and appeared not to have a shirt underneath.

Her makeup was very glamorous and it was finished with a deep red lip.

During the speech, Trump claimed that the elections were being subjected to “great fraud” and called for the vote counting to end.

“We will go to the Supreme Court of the United States. We want all voting to stop,” he said.

It is not the first time that the First Lady has opted for a tailored suit. At all three State of the Union events from 2017 to 2019, she wore a black skirt suit, white pantsuit, and black military-style coat, respectively.

The president’s wife has kept her distance throughout the US election campaign, even more so since her Covid diagnosis, but the former Slovenian model has appeared publicly in recent days to lend her support to the Republican cause.
