Melania Trump Draws Carmen Sandiego Comparisons With Inauguration Outfit

by

What in the world is Melania Trump wearing?

At Trump’s second inauguration, the First Lady made a dazzling appearance in an ensemble that sparked intense discussion on social media, as numerous users drew parallels between her style and the famous character, Carmen Sandiego.

Melania donned a nearly monochromatic black ensemble (see the live stream of the inauguration here), which bore a striking resemblance to the attire of a video game heroine from the 1990s. This choice sparked both amusement and wonder, as many wondered why she chose such a somber tone for an event that she would likely view as joyous.

Or, more concisely:

Melania’s black outfit during the inauguration live stream (watch it here) echoed the style of a 1990s video game heroine, causing some amusement and curiosity about her choice to wear such a dark ensemble for what should have been a happy occasion.

The person was jokingly imitating Melania’s accent by saying, ‘I want to resemble Carmen Sandiego at a funeral.'”

“In a playful way, the comment mimicked Melania’s accent with, ‘I aim to be like Carmen Sandiego at a funeral.'”

Both versions preserve the original meaning and maintain the conversational tone.

Almost everyone else also used the same humorous reference: “I’ve tracked down Carmen Sandiego!” or “Wondering where in the world is Carmen Sandiego!

“Darth Carmen Sandiego” and “Couture Carmen Sandiego” were also popular comments.

The First Lady’s affectionate air-kiss with the President became quite popular online as well. However, it should be noted that the President paused just short of an actual kiss due to the potentially obstructive nature of his hat.

In 1985, Carmen Sandiego debuted as a character in the educational video game titled “Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego“, later expanding to various other games, stage productions, and TV shows.

According to Vogue, the First Lady’s striking navy coat with a double-breasted design comes from the studio of New York fashion designer Adam Lippes. Her eye-catching hat coordinating with it was created by Eric Javits.

On Monday, President Donald Trump took the oath for his second term in the Oval Office, while J.D. Vance became the 50th Vice President of the United States.

On a chilly Monday, the capital city of Washington, D.C., played host to the 60th Presidential Inauguration, with the central theme being “Our Lasting Democracy: A Commitment in the Constitution.” Due to the inclement weather, the ceremony was shifted inside.

The ceremony for the official beginning was planned to feature Carrie Underwood joining forces with the Armed Forces Chorus and the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club to perform “America the Beautiful”, while opera singer Christopher Maccio would close the event with “Oh America!”. Additionally, it’s anticipated that country artist Lee Greenwood will also make an appearance on stage.

The ceremony is currently streaming, below.
