Melania Trump sends fans into meltdown with bizarre new look - 'Donald took his sharpie'

The sleeveless dress, white with a thin belt around it, was covered in black squiggles which critics compared to the doodles of a child. According to Paper Magazine the dress was a collaboration between Alexander McQueen and London art students.





The publication claimed students at Central Saint Martins sketched impressions of dancing girls during one of their classes.



These were then hand hand-embroidered by Alexander McQueen employees to produce the final look.



However Twitter users jokingly suggested Trump may have drawn the lines on with a marker.



One wrote: “Melania pulled a plain white dress for her evening in North Dakota and before they left Trump took a sharpie marker to it.”





Another jested, in reference to the president, “Will somebody please take that sharpie away from him! Now he's drawing on Melania's dress”.



A third added: “Donald Trump got bored and drew all over Melania's white dress with a sharpie on Air Force One.”



Sharpie is a brand of markers pens very popular in the United States.



On Friday Melania accompanied her husband to Mount Rushmore where the president delivered a speech attacking “cancel culture” following attacks on statues and monuments across US cities.

The couple, along with 7,000 spectators, then watched a military flypast and fireworks display.



During his address Trump claimed: “In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance.



“If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished.



“Make no mistake: this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution.





“In so doing, they would destroy the very civilisation that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence, and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery, and progress.



“To make this possible, they are determined to tear down every statue, symbol, and memory of our national heritage.”



However some commentators criticised Trump as attendees at the event weren’t required to wear masks or practice social distancing.



In criticising Melania’s dress a number of social media users referenced an event last September where Trump was accused of using a sharpie to alter a map of Hurricane Dorian.





One tweeted: “Apparently Trump tried to draw a hurricane path on Melania’s dress.”



Another added: “Looks like Melania needs #IndependenceFromTrump as well.



“He gone and doodled with the sharpie all over her dress now. I thought they took away his sharpie after the hurricane incident?”





On Saturday the President and First Lady celebrated Independence Day with a party at the White House.



Thousands of people gathered on Washington DC’s national mall to watch a military flypast and fireworks display.



However July 4 celebrations were cancelled in many American towns and cities in response to the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.
