- While the photos were taken in September 2017, they recently went viral on Twitter as meme inspiration.
Photos of Melania Trump gardening in a photo shoot-ready outfit are going viral, almost a year after the first lady made a public appearance in Michelle Obama's vegetable garden.
In September 2017, $4 in the White House Kitchen Garden, founded by Michelle Obama, to help harvest it.
Trump wore a Balmain plaid shirt to the event, along with squeaky-clean Converse sneakers. The shirt was priced at more than $1,000 at the time, but it has since been $4
While the event took place almost a year ago, the photos have been blowing up as memes on social media over the last few days.
Many of the memes pointed out that the first lady looked a bit out of her natural element in the garden.
One of Michelle Obama's best-known acts as first lady was establishing the garden in 2009. It was a symbol of her efforts to reduce rates of childhood obesity with initiatives such as the "Let's Move" campaign and school nutritional regulations.
In addition to serving as a symbol of her initiatives, Obama used the garden as a place to showcase her down-to-earth fashion. $4 in its review of Obama's 2012 book "American Grown" that "throughout the book, the first lady, always beautifully coiffed, wears a different J. Crew sweater to match the season (marigold yellow for summer, argyle for fall)."
Trump's garden style is less accessible than Obama's clothes from J. Crew and Target. At $690 for a seemingly casual shirt, most people aren't likely to run out to copy Trump's style.
