I was very critical of Melania earlier, but she looks nice there. Charles and Camilla likewise. The Queen, of course--she's always predictably impeccably dressed.
Trump... good gawd.

(5,812 posts)But I do agree about the gloves -- too heavy and too off white for the dress. The dress is light and airy, a spring look. The gloves IMO say, "Baby, it's cold outside."
Nay
(12,051 posts)type of gloves that go with this dress -- thin, skintight gloves with no bagging or creasing. Otherwise, as you say, they look too heavy for her outfit.
TruckFump
(5,812 posts)...in my 70's and I totally agree with you re the kind of gloves that go with that dress. IIRC, when the Obamas has their dinner with the queen, Michelle wore a light, white dress and long sleeved gloves and Michelle's gloves were the correct kind for the dress.

White evening gloves have become rare at modern white tie functions. Should you choose to wear gloves with your white tie ensemble then make sure they are white in color and made from fine kidskin leather

snip--"Handbag on the table
When the queen places her handbag on the table, it means dinner (or the event) must end within five minutes. That said, ending an event that isnt yours seems a bit disrespectful even if you are the Queen of England so when she is a guest, placing her handbag on the table signals that she is ready to go in five minutes.
If you just so happen to be having a conversation with Her Majesty and she places her handbag on the floor, its not good. That gesture signals her ladies in waiting to rescue her from a conversation she doesnt want to be part of. If its not possible to place her bag on the floor, the queen instead twists her wedding ring to signal staff.
Handbag shifts from left arm to right arm
When the queen shifts her handbag from her left arm to her right, it also signals staff that shes ready to move on. The queen typically carries her purse on her left arm so that her right is free to shake hands."

I never plan to wear a tux.
Therefore, my eye for what comprises a proper tux is not what it should be.
However, given that...
Is the bottom hem of the waistcoat on a tux really supposed to be a foot below the bottom hem of the jacket?

DesertRat
(27,995 posts)TruckFump
(5,812 posts)Sorry, but almost everything about that tux is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
The hem of the pants -- too long, see how they pile on the shoes and balloon. The worst part? The vest and waistcoat. The waistcoat is all wrong and it does not appear to be tailored for Trump. The waistcoat is much, much too short. The white vest is suppose to just come below the belt line (although tux pants are ALWAYS worn with suspenders), the hem of the vest is just to brush below the end of the jacket. Look how Charles can grasp his hands behind his back and the waistcoat and the vest still hang and fit appropriately.
Donald looks like he went to "Friar Tux" and whomever fitted him had less than -0- clue.
Chellee
(2,097 posts)That's ridiculously too long. Why?? He has money. Not as much as he says, but enough to get clothes that fit. Why does he always look like he's wearing somebody else's clothes?
I assume that he thinks that baggy pants and over large jackets, and whatever the hell he convinced a tailor to do to that waistcoat make him look thinner. If that had fit, he would have looked okay, I mean, sullen, but okay. As it is, he's a joke.
TexasBushwhacker
(20,203 posts)to cover and hold in his gut, but the cutaway should have been made longer to match it. Maybe he's frowning because he knows how ridiculous he looks.
