Did Melania Trump’s RNC Dress Just Get Plagiarized at the DNC?
There’s shade and then there’s shade, and we already have an irrefutable shade champion of this year’s political conventions in Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Thursday, wearing a dress that bears an uncanny resemblance to the one worn by Melania Trump last week when she spoke at the Republican National Convention.

Melania’s bell-sleeved dress was created by London-based designer Roksanda Ilincic, a Serbian native. The $2,190 dress, which was originally marketed as a wedding gown “for the modern bride,” quickly sold out after Melania wore it for her RNC speech — which California-based journalist Jarrett Hill pointed out contained paragraphs that seemed to match part of the speech that Michelle Obama gave at her husband’s nominating convention in 2008.
