The Melania Trump Halloween costumes you never knew you needed
Halloween is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to start finalizing your costume. But in the likely chance that you’re still struggling to find the ensemble that will make a statement, look no further. Melania Trump costumes are here, and whether you’re looking for something provocative and head-turning, or a last minute look to throw together, it seems that the first lady might be your best bet.
The ever-stylish FLOTUS has inspired quite a few costumes for the upcoming holiday, with different interpretations on how to transform her classic looks. For Yandy, an online retailer known for creating “sexy” costumes, this meant transforming one of her elegant ensembles into the “Model Wife” costume.
Inspired by Trump’s Inauguration Day look by Ralph Lauren, Yandy is now selling a two-piece outfit that’s quite similar. With the structured cropped jacket, pencil skirt, gloves and updo, the motivation behind the look is obvious. But it turns out that only the blue set (sans gloves) is for sale at nearly $70 — a price that can be beat with other presidential looks.
Luckily for those aiming to achieve a FLOTUS look, the different styles of the fashionista are easier to pull off than they may seem. While the $2,190 Roksanda Ilincic dress that Trump wore to the RNC in Cleveland may be out of your Halloween budget, this lookalike dress from Rotita for $32.77 is an accessible option.
Sellers on eBay have also gotten creative by creating FLOTUS Halloween sets that achieve the perfect “Trump on duty” look. Inspired by the first lady’s aviators and baseball cap that she wore during her trip to Texas after Hurricane Harvey, this look is quite possibly the easiest to throw together for any last minute celebrations.
Of course, the list of Halloween looks wouldn’t be complete without some sort of mask. And while there are plenty of President Trump (and each of his notable expressions) this one sold by Spirit is classic Melania. The oversized plastic mask is of FLOTUS on Inauguration Day, so if you need something to go with the Yandy costume, this would be it.
The search for Trump Halloween costumes couldn’t go without controversy, however, as Amazon search results for Melania Trump costumes led to some questionable products. There are a few suggestions for apparel with the president’s face, and a few with the first lady as well. But a pair of results from Rubie’s Costume Co. are misplaced.
Alongside a FLOTUS hat and a novelty first lady driver’s license appear two Russian costume dresses. The short dress, faux-fur trimmed coat and hat are consistent results for the search for unexplained reasons.
All in all, it seems like the perfect year for a politically themed costume, and the first lady is certainly the right choice to keep stylish as well.
