Melania Trump appeared in a bulletproof VIP box in an outfit by American designer Thom Browne, whom she rarely honors with her attention. But the main thing that caught the viewers' attention was her shoes. The wife of the American president is known for her love of high-heeled shoes, but this time she wore ballet flats. Additionally, Melania's face was adorned with large sunglasses that reflected the football field. Many considered this accessory unnecessary behind the bulletproof glass. **Style as a Message** The choice of American designer Thom Browne is a rare case for Melania Trump. Usually, the First Lady prefers European luxury houses such as Christian Dior and Dolce & Gabbana. Experts link this to the boycott declared by many American designers during Trump’s first presidential term, when they refused to create outfits for the inauguration. However, this time Melania may have decided to make a kind of patriotic statement, using fashion as a tool to send a message to America: the three stripes in the colors of the American flag adorning Melania's jacket are a recognizable element of the brand. **Conspiracy Theory** Nevertheless, the most attention was drawn not to the patriotic motifs but to the details of her look that fueled conspiracy theorists. The dark sunglasses worn indoors instantly became a topic of discussion. Social media users wondered why the First Lady needed glasses in the stands and whether they were hiding the fact that this was a "fake Melania." The flat-soled shoes added fuel to the fire. This conspiracy theory emerged back in 2017 when observers noticed discrepancies in the facial features, behavior, and clothing style of the wife of the sitting president of the United States. At that time, Melania was also spotted in similar shoes, which was uncharacteristic of her usual style. Some social media users noted that it was already unusual for Melania to be next to Trump for two hours. However, some commentators are convinced that the First Lady simply took the opportunity to be near her husband and possibly discuss something with him: the complicated relationships in the Trump family have long ceased to be a secret to Americans. It is worth noting that earlier, Mrs. Trump’s press secretary and communications director had already denied rumors about her having doubles. However, as is reasonably noted online, official channels would deny everything anyway, even if it were true. Nevertheless, discussions about a double continue to flare up whenever Melania Trump's appearance or behavior raises questions from the public. And this time, there were plenty of questions.
