Prior to the First Lady’s boarding of Air Force One, she was photographed in all black, an army green jacket, and stunning black heels. Rather than focus on the First Couple’s trip to Texas, the media shined a spotlight on their feelings about whether heels were appropriate to wear in light of the floods. Perhaps these critics were unaware that the President and First Lady were avoiding heavily flooded areas for obvious safety reasons.
When the First Lady landed in Texas, she wore black pants, a white blouse, sneakers, and a FLOTUS cap.
What Really Matters
An unnamed spokesperson for First Lady Melania summed up the controversy surrounding her shoes perfectly:
Thankfully, the majority of the American people see the situation similarly. First and foremost, Texans are the highest priority. The focus should be on helping them, not critiquing the attire of the First Lady. In order to engender progress and help Texans recover, the people of this nation will need to come together.
