"I like her outfit very much! I liked it the first time I saw it, leering through a window in Insidious. Kudos to whatever stylist absolutely nailed her request to go to the royal palace in "Babadook Mode." Maybe this outfit works better in other environments, but in a room of shriveled 200-year-olds it carries all the metaphorical subtlety of a nationally syndicated political cartoon."
"A specter is haunting Europe-the specter of Jack Napier! Exactly how many space aliens did they have to evict from that hat before she could wear it? Last time I saw a hat like that, it was rolling down the street three seconds after the sounds of screeching brakes and shattering glass. I have one just like it at home, upside down, with a pool of onion dip in the middle and an array of raw veggies around it."
President Donald Trump visited the United Kingdom and posed with the King, Queen, and a British official. Melania Trump attended in a striking Christian Dior ensemble that drew attention for its theatrical, horror-inspired qualities. The outfit inspired comparisons to film and pop-culture figures such as Insidious, the Babadook, and Jack Napier, and the hat prompted absurd visual metaphors. The contrast between the dramatic attire and the elderly royals fueled satirical commentary and playful mockery, including a joke that another spy-like character would have made more sense for the photo opportunity.
