She's the gal who just won't quit, the step-mom you wish you never had — but she's also apparently pretty rich. Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway couldn't have faded into the crowd this morning even if she tried as she made her way to president-elect Trump's Inauguration ceremony. Donning a $3,600 coat from Gucci (which you can still buy), a perhaps overly-festive Conway could be seen right through the tinted windows of the black Escalade she rode in. But the patriotism didn't stop there.
Maybe you spotted it already, maybe you didn't, but the coat is from Gucci's resort 2017 collection. That means it's technically three seasons old, but you know how the fashion industry works, which actually puts Conway's look right on time. Whatever. It's red, white, and blue, which seems pretty fitting for the occasion. But the part that's giving us an unwavering side-eye was those damn cat buttons, which we're almost positive mademoiselle Conway thought were "pretty darn cute." However, with the glaring #pussygate stain atop Trump's record, could this be Conway's way of getting the last laugh? Like, "Hey, kids — guess what? Jokes on you!" Only, we're more-so over here like, she don't love herself.
We may never know the truth, of course, because we're unsure if Kellyanne Conway even knows what Kelly-Anne Conway is saying (or not saying) sometimes. But, she did tell a reporter who asked about her getup that the inspiration behind her #OOTD was, "It's just Gucci." Sure, Kellyanne. Nevertheless, Twitter — as you probably expected — isn't having any of it, and has already provided us with a plethora of memes and silent giggle-worthy comparisons. They range from Captain Crunch to the old New England Patriots logo, but the below is our favorite. (And leave Paddington out of this!)
Well, there you have it, folks. Melania Trump is in Ralph Lauren and Kellyanne Conway is in Gucci. While we can kind of, sort of, maybe be able to see where a designer could be coming from when deciding to go forth with dressing FLOTUS, we're going to leave Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele out of this. Because we're kind of saying, but also not saying, that we're pretty sure, though we may never know, Conway most certainly bought her look. Now back to those cat jokes...
