Melania's collar at Carter's funeral.😱

Full image that was on Melania's collar at the funeral of President Carter. Pretty tacky for a funeral of a former President. No class and no respect. Eeeeew!

It appears the same pattern on that shirt is on her collar but you can't see it well on her collar. I looked at it closely from pics blown up. I can't tell for sure what is going on on the shirt, looks like someone making out with a rock or something like that 😹😹

You will find pics then you can make them larger on your computer by just doing the finger spread thing on a track pad of some other way. Also op just posted a link confirming it.

Look at the third pic on this link:

https://pagesix.com/2025/01/09/style/melania-trump-attends-jimmy-carter-funeral-in-valentino-coat-with-statement-collar/

It is clearly the same pattern on that photo, just printed partially on the collar.

Yes I know I will be accused of being "against women" or being the fashion police for criticizing her collar etc. But this is tacky for a funeral, maybe for a show biz funeral etc. lol. Also who she is and what she supports is the real problem etc. The I don't care do you might have not flown 😹 But we know she does not care a wit.

That ridiculously oversize collar would have been inappropriate even with nothing printed on it. It would have looked more at home on a fashion show catwalk than at a state funeral.

It smacked of either trying to show off or just trying too hard, neither of which was a good look for such a dignified occadion.

It's by Valentino.

But why a sexual message>

Perhaps directed at Trump.
Maybe flaunting her newest boyfriend?

Yes this could be it.

Jimmy Carter loved, adored, and cherished his wife.
Trump hates Melania and she knows it.
Trump loves no one but himself.

Yes a dig at Trump.

He barely spoke to Melania and in fact had his back to her while he kept talking to Obama.
It was obvious he was angry at his wife.

She is a deeply weird, ignorant woman, a lot of that likely comes from being around the Trumps all these years. She has shown on multiple occasions her being clueless to the proper behavior for various occasions. She didn't know you shouldn't wear stiletto heels to visit a disaster area, for instance. Of course, she could just be fishing for attention, as usual, so who knows with that one?

she claims to speak but doesn't really understand. She knows the coat is expensive and once appeared on a runway so she wears it - like the infamous "I don't really care" coat. It's also gaudy (for a funeral) and designed to draw attention to the wearer.

We taxpayers pay for a staff for this woman - why doesn't she have a protocol secretary who can advise her on etiquette? (Because she really doesn't care about anything other than herself and son)

So they don't care about or listen to experts.

But I think she deliberately wore a sexual themed collar to piss off her husband.
Because she isn't sleeping with him any more.
