Melania Trump’s lime green dress triggers memes

While her husband was officially nominated as the Republican Party candidate for the presidential election, Melania Trump showed up in a lime green dress that has sparked the imagination across social media platforms.

A flashy outfit amid dark suits, on Thursday, August 27th, from the gardens of the White House, cameras around the world were focused on Donald Trump, who was officially nominated to be the Republican candidate seeking a new mandate as the President of the United States.

However, all eyes were on the First Lady, who immediately stole the spot from her husband, strolling in a neon green pleated Valentino dress.

 

"The dress was so bright that with every wide shot, Melania Trump can be easily be identified among everyone there wearing all black," said Vanessa Friedman, reporter for the New York Times.

The screen dress

Next thing, Melania Trump’s dress was all over Twitter, as people enjoyed hijacking the outfit. Internet users have used the green background, which is used on television to transform a decor, to change the dress of the First Lady. Green is the furthest shade from the skin color, which makes it easy to include special effects in photos or videos.

 

 

American model Matt Evers suggested a weather forecast version of the lime green dress showcasing the daily weather report. As for the American writer, Parker Molloy, she used Melania’s flashy dress to show coronavirus tolls in the United States, which has recorded till the day, 185000 deaths.

 

Vitamin color

However, this vitamin color dress is no coincidence, because Melania Trump has been known for using her style as a weapon. In August 25th , the former Slovenian model spoke at the Republican convention wearing Alexander McQueen khaki skirt suit.

Experts compared this military style immediately to the conservative policies of her husband Donald Trump. Melania Trump unashamedly displays her fashion and political biases too.
