Fashion Deets: Melania Trump Plagiarizes First Lady Michelle Obama’s Speech at 2016 Republican National Convention in Roksanda Cream Lantern Sleeve Dress

Start spreading the news…!
Melania Trump gave a speech at last night’s Republican National Convention that bore a striking resemblance to a speech First Lady Michelle Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

19 JUL: Melania Trump, the wife of Donald Trump, has faced accusations that a portion of her speech at the Republican Convention plagiarised Michelle Obama. Mr Trump's communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement: "In writing her beautiful speech, Melania's team of writers took notes on her life's inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking. Melania's immigrant experience and love for America shone through in her speech, which made it such a success." : Getty Images.

Many are accusing Mrs. Trump of plagiarism. Take a look at the side by side.


Yikes!
At any rate, Madame Melania gave her inspired speech in style, wearing a custom puff sleeve dress by Roksanda Ilincic:

The slick, form fitting sheath boasts lantern sleeves equipped with gazar cuffs. See a similar style by the designer below:
Lovely dress, but nothing could detract from Melania’s epic misstep.
