Melania Trump Wears Belgian Designer Maison Ullens and Dolce & Gabbana in Brussels


 It’s the final stretch of the Trumps’ first international trip, and earlier today, Melania Trump paid homage to the city of Brussels in a suit from Belgian designer Maison Ullens. This latest skirt suit, designed by Myriam Ullens de Schooten, falls in line with the First Lady’s style, as seen thus far. For a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara at the White House and more recently in Jerusalem, Trump opted for strongly tailored, optic white suits by Karl Lagerfeld and Michael Kors, respectively. Today’s look pushed things further, thanks to exposed stitching that recalled the Hervé Pierre leather skirt she wore to leave the White House last week.



The light taupe suit came with a tonal, built-in belt, a signature detail that the First Lady employs often. Grounding the look were snakeskin Manolo Blahnik stilettos; Trump’s diamond ring acted as her only accessory. At a dinner hosted by Queen Mathilde of Belgium a few hours later, Trump changed into another black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress, swapping out her stilettos for the Italian house’s embellished floral sandals.

Yes, Selena Gomez Changed Outfits 3 Times Today

Selena Gomez has serious range when it comes to style. One moment, she’s hitting a playful note at Coachella in a floral frock, the next, she’s mastered sophistication in a monochromatic maxi at a friend’s outdoor wedding. Today, while hosting the WE Day California event to celebrate young people changing the world, Gomez stepped out in pale blue suit separates that fit the formal occasion—one of three different looks she wore in less than 24 hours.


To walk the red carpet, Gomez picked Brock Collection’s gingham off-the-shoulder jacket, but toned down the buttoned-up nature of the traditional blazer by revealing a hint of midriff. Wide-leg trousers gave an ultra-flattering line, as did a pair of patent-leather Christian Louboutin pumps in a complementary pastel hue. To take the event stage, Gomez traded the suiting for boyfriend jeans in a classic rinse. At one point, she threw on a leather jacket by Jenny Packham decorated with painterly hearts, clouds, and stars, then switched into a cute black T-shirt with a red kiss across the front by Sonia Rykiel. Coupled with her denim, it read like a distinct ’90s throwback, elevated simply by a pair of patent-leather Mary Janes with a gold metallic heel—an easy quick-change with major results.

Alexa Chung Has This Whole Edie Sedgwick Style Thing Down

When Alexa Chung stepped out for breakfast with her boyfriend, Alexander Skarsgård, early this morning, she looked like herself, sure, but in a decidedly Edie Sedgwick kind of way. The model was seen crossing the street in New York’s East Village in a mash-up of essentials made famous by one of the original It girls.



The animal-print look was a favorite of Sedgwick’s, and Chung doubled down on it by adding a skinny scarf overtop. In a varsity stripe, it looked like it could have been plucked from the closet of Bob Dylan, who, lest we forget, was another favorite of Sedgwick’s. Chung’s cat-eye sunglasses were also in line with the late actress’s accessories, plus the tortoiseshell shade and metallic gold detail tied in nicely with the colors of Chung’s coat.

Sedgwick often took to monochromatic pieces in all-over tonal black—black dresses, black leopards, black turtlenecks—but we like that Chung switched it up with a navy fisherman’s sweater in a cozy cable-knit. Her faded skinnies were classic Sedgwick, though, as were the flat ankle boots in the same shade.

Argentina’s First Lady and Spain’s Queen Cement Their Chic Alliance

And so the budding fashion friendship between Argentina’s First Lady Juliana Awada and Spain’s Queen Letizia continues. The chic figureheads were captured yesterday practically twinning in similar shades of pale pink as they walked the grounds of Spain’s Royal Palace on the first day of Awada’s four-day trip to the country with her husband, President Mauricio Macri. Something of a fashion spread come to life, the diplomatic visit for the Argentinian First Family was most certainly off to a picturesque start. And with a visit today to the opening of Spain’s contemporary art fair, ARCO, the two women once again seemed united by their refined tastes, showing off two very polished—but distinct—looks.


Sheathed in a red, white, and blue silk pussy-bow shirtdress, Awada breezed through the exhibits under the heels of round-toe Mary Janes. Cool and unstudied, with her hair pulled back into a slightly tousled ponytail, the First Lady and fashion entrepreneur looked like an in-the-know patron of the arts. Beside her, Queen Letizia was zipped up into a minimalist white sculptural dress that flared ever so slightly. Playing with contours and shapes, the piece seemed to be a nod to the installations that surrounded them. The Spanish royal’s python pumps brought a bit of texture and edge to her neutral look. Chatting away with artists and even making some crafts with kids, the two ladies may have taken a different approach to the gallery-hopping attire, but it was clear they both have an eye for detail.

Women's March Draws Scarlett Johansson, America Ferrera and More to Washington

Scarlett Johannson, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, America Ferrera and a slew of other stars took to the streets Saturday to join hundreds of thousands of people protesting in favor of women's rights and equality a day after Donald Trump was sworn in as President of the United States.


Speaking onstage at the Women's March on Washington, D.C., Ferrera told the crowd, "We are gathered here and across the country and around the world today to say, 'Mr. Trump, we refuse.'"

"It's been a heartbreaking time to be both a woman and an immigrant in this country," the Ugly Betty alum, the daughter of Honduran immigrants, told the crowd. "Our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack and a platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday."

"We march today for our families and our neighbors, for our future, for the causes that we claim and the causes that claim us," Ferrera said. "We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war."

Johannson talked about the importance of women's health, Planned Parenthood and access to reproductive services.

"President Trump, I did not vote for you," she said. "That said, I respect that you are our President-elect and I want to be able to support you but first I ask that you support me, support my sister, support my mother...support my daughter who may actually, as a result of the appointments you have made, grow up in a country that is moving backwards, not forward and who may potentially not have the right to make choices for her body and her future that your daughter Ivanka has been privileged to have."

"I ask you to support all women and our fight for equality in all things," she said, adding, "I pledge my relentless devotion to women's healthcare initiatives. I will not stop fighting to make basic women's healthcare available to all."

Other celebrities who spoke at the Women's March on Washington included Madonna, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, Michael Moore, Alicia Keys, Janelle Monáe and Ashley Judd.

Katy Perry announced on Instagram she would be marching with sister Angela Hudson.

"Marching with SO many sisters today but my heart is most proud to march with my blood sister, Angela, who has always been my guardian angel," she wrote. "We should all be guardians for each other. I march today because I am not afraid anymore and I hope I can be an example of fearlessness and resilience. I will not let anyone suppress me, silence me or clip my wings."

"For a long time I misunderstood the true definition of being a feminist, but now that I know, I am empowered!" she said. "I am indisputably a feminist. I am here today to break the cycle of suppression and inequality. I stand with you all! ♥#whyimarch @womensmarch."

Women's rights marches also took place in cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas and Park City, Utah, where many celebs are in town for the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

Cyrus marched in Los Angeles, where the subways were extraordinarily packed with participants rushing to get to the protest. Other celebrity attendees included Joseph Gordon-Levitt, pregnant Lauren Conrad and Willow Smith, E! News has learned. Holly Madison marched in Las Vegas.

In Park City, Charlize Theron and Maria Bello marched together alongside women holding pink signs supporting Planned Parenthood and women's rights. Many of the participants across the country wore pink wool hats with kitty ears.

"When they punch you in the p---y, Punch them back harder with your p---y power!" Bello shouted, according to Variety reporter Jim Rainey.

Mary Steenburgen, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Jennifer Beals and Laura Dern also took part in the protest, as did Teigen's husband, singer John Legend, and Benjamin Bratt.
