Melania Trump vs Jill Biden: who was best dressed at 2020’s final US presidential debate, the first lady in Christian Dior or the former second lady in Dolce & Gabbana?
As Melania, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and Donald Trump Jr’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, arrived in all black, Jill Biden sported contrasting colourful florals – but which looks left the most impact?
The final presidential debate of the 2020 US election was held on October 23 – a charged event where none involved could afford any mistakes. As presidential candidates President Donald Trump and former vice-president Joe Biden took the stage to talk policy, their wives Melania Trump and Jill Biden arrived in meticulous style.
Melania stepped onstage in a minimalist midi dress, reportedly by Christian Dior, cinched with a sleek belt. She finished the look with a pair of towering Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps, a design she has repeatedly worn. It’s worth pointing out that she also donned a black mask, unlike her mask-free husband.
In contrast, Jill opted for a much more colourful ensemble. The former second lady’s floral dress and matching mask are by Italian designer duo Dolce & Gabbana, and she accessorised her attire with a pair of low-heeled nude suede pumps – Jimmy Choo’s Katience d’Orsay.
The pinstriped suit that Melania donned at the first presidential debate on September 30 was also by Dolce & Gabbana, one of her favourite designer labels that she frequently wears to business engagements. The suit is priced at US$3,340.
