Melania Trump Heads to Camp David in Missoni

Melania Trump is currently en route to Camp David with her husband, son, and extended family. Departing from the South Lawn earlier today, Trump sported a Missoni knit dress with a contrasting, lattice-like trim in aubergine, blush pink, and blue.


The choice of fabric and color were new for Trump who has relied upon traditional fit-and-flare dresses in simple, solid shades. Indeed in the last week, she has stepped outside of her fashion comfort zone not once but twice, and was seen departing from Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey wearing a striking midi-length Delpozo dress with a petal-like hem. With this latest look, she is clearly continuing to explore new territory. That said, her choice of shoes—sky-high stilettos by Manolo Blahnik in orange lizard—were a familiar choice.

Krysten Ritter Does a Quick Change Worthy of a Superhero at Marvel’s Defenders Premiere

Just because you’re busy saving the world doesn’t mean you can’t find time to look great. Just ask Krysten Ritter, titular superhero of the Netflix hit Jessica Jones. At last night’s premiere of the related series The Defenders, Ritter caused a stir in a crimson sequined cut-out Julien MacDonald dress that only a daring few could pull off.



Taking to Instagram post-event, Ritter revealed that she and stylist Ilaria Urbinati had spotted the piece several months earlier on MacDonald’s runway and asked him to hold it for them. She then thanked MacDonald for creating a piece of wearable art and allowing her to be the first to wear it.

Clearly attuned to her power color, Ritter switched into a second red dress for the show’s after-party, a silk Cushnie et Ochs number. With its ruffled neckline and floor-skimming length, it was subtler, yet every bit as sultry—a quick change worthy of a superhero.
