The new co-chair of the Republican National
Committee, Lara Trump, who is also Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, drew some criticism
on Easter Sunday, but not for politics. For fashion. Lara posted an Easter picture of herself and
husband Eric Trump posing with their two kids at Mar-a-Lago. She captioned the March 31, 2024, Instagram
post, "The egg hunters let mom and dad pose with
them for one picture. Update: no golden egg but way too much candy." Lots of followers wished the family a happy
holi
day, but several others pointed out something that had social media rattled. One wrote, "That dress though...cringe." The fan was responding to Lara's white dress,
which had what appeared to be material made to resemble a flattened rose planted squarely
on the front. Another follower criticized Lara, saying, "You are gorgeous, [Lara], but that dress
is a NO! Sorry!" "Believe none of what you hear, half of what
you read, and only what you're there to witness firsthand." Most of the responders sha
red glad tidings,
though, and among the well-wishers were a few who liked her outfit, with one saying, "Beautiful dress!!!" The comments were much more scathing over
on X, formerly Twitter, where she posted the same photo. One observer joked, "People dress like a milk bottle for Easter?" Other baffled X users tried to figure out
what the round design on her chest was supposed to be. One responded that they thought it was an
Easter bonnet, while another offered: "Advice, dress appropriately next
year." But, like on Instagram, many responses were
positive and offered wishes of a happy Easter. The Mar-a-Lago Easter celebration didn't mark
the first time Lara has taken some flak for a sartorial choice. On New Year's Day 2024, well before she was
named RNC co-chair in early March, Lara posted a picture of herself and Eric Trump in their
New Year's attire from another bash held at Mar-a-Lago. He wore a tuxedo; her dress was white and
cut very wide with a split in the skirt, revealing a tight
glittery bodysuit. That caused one commenter to chide, "The dress is a no, not classy. We need amazing role models for young women,
not another Taylor Swift." Another responded, "I always respect [the] Trump family [but]
this dress is not for you." Yet another cautioned, "Please don't dress like this! Don't lower yourself to Hollywood standards." The general consensus was that her followers
considered her classy, but the dress... not so much. Trump also posted her New Year's snap on X,
where he
r dress likewise came under harsh scrutiny, but it wasn't just the slinky attire
that was the target of the criticism. One commenter said, "Reminds me of great Gatsby... Everything's perfection... Except the shoes. Acrylic heels adorned with Crystal would've
looked amazing." Another served up some sass referring to the
famous lingerie store chain Frederick's of Hollywood, writing, "See you did your shopping at Frederick's. Lol." Oscar Lopez, who designed Lara's New Year's
gown, spoke to TMZ to d
efend against the critics who deemed it "trashy." He said he regarded it as rather elegant and
sensual, and said the criticism came from who Lara is more than the dress. "It's important to recognize that public figures
often face differing opinions, especially if your last name is 'Trump,' and each individual
responds to such situations in their own way. In Lara's case, this does not faze her in
the least." Despite thousands of people continuing to
scratch their heads over what the heck is on th
e front of Lara Trump's Easter outfit
and criticize her fashion choices, many fans agreed that the couple looked good together. Their insanely lavish lifestyle affords them
the ability to wear whatever they want, and they let any criticism roll off their shoulders. "We feel great." And Lara's keeping busy, anyway. She's now second in command of a national
political party.
