Melania Trump received a lot of attention for the dress she wore to the Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore.
While the president was busy delivering his speech on stage, Twitter users couldn’t help but notice the first lady’s eye-catching Alexander McQueen dress.
Trump wore a white sleeveless midi dress with black graphic design all over it. She wore a black belt over the waist, which matched her pair of patent black heels. Twitter users thought the dress looked as though Donald Trump had scribbled on it with a marker.
“Donald Trump got bored and drew all over Melania’s white dress with a marker on Air Force One,” a Twitter user joked. “Will somebody please take that pen away from him! Now he’s drawing on Melania’s dress,” another chimed in.
Others compared the design to the drawings made during the infamous
‘#Sharpiegate’, where Donald Trump had used a marker to alter the map of Hurricane Dorian. “Apparently Trump tried to draw a hurricane path on Melania’s dress,” another user wrote.
According to Paper, the design of the dress came about during the luxury brand’s collaboration with students from Central Saint Martins in London.
The students envisioned “dancing girl” sketches during a life-drawing class led by fashion illustrator Julie Verhoeven. The McQueen staff then stitched these sketches over the dress. The collaboration was meant to encourage “the sense of community spirit and togetherness.”
