The first lady wore black cropped pants, a green bomber jacket, and black stilettos as she exited the White House for Marine One. "Melania's shoes are impressive but perhaps not what I would wear to a city submerged in floodwaters," wrote Elizabeth Bruenig, an assistant editor at the Washington Post. Those stilettos should help her stay above the flood line https://t.co/dQ89fK18N5 — Ryan Teague Beckwith (@ryanbeckwith) August 29, 2017 Melania is wearing stilettos to a hurricane zone: https://t.co/29WIwlipab — erica orden (@eorden) August 29, 2017 I'm gonna give Melania the benefit of the doubt and argue that maybe she has boots on Air Force One? — Paige Lavender (@paigelav) August 29, 2017 God grant me the serenity not to comment on the shoes. — Ben White (@morningmoneyben) August 29, 2017 A spokeswoman for Trump said the first lady has a different pair of shoes that she will change into. The Trumps will spend time in Corpus Christi and Austin during their trip to Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
