Vanity Fair announced its annual International Best Dressed List this week, but people have noticed that one name in particular is missing from the line-up.

Despite owning an enviable wardrobe of designer pieces, First Lady Melania Trump didn’t make the cut. However, her predecessor Michelle Obama did and not for the first time either.

While no Trump family members are on the list, it has been noted that a host of other politicians have been named including former President Barack Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, along with his wife, Brigitte.

Even Hervé Pierre, Trump’s go-to stylist who dressed her for her husband’s inaugural ball made the list while she did not.

Featuring in the “couples” category, the Obamas’ most notable look of the year, according to the list, was a white Club Monaco top and custom BCBG olive-green pants paired with a gold Elizabeth and James Connolly cuff worn by Michelle and a blue shirt, navy trousers, and desert boots worn by the former president in Siena, Italy.

Trudeau’s most memorable look was mismatched R2-D2 and C-3PO socks worn during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Ireland while the Macron’s was a navy suit for President Macron and powder-blue dress and jacket by Louis Vuitton for his wife.

Since the presidential election, there has been much discussion about First Lady Melania Trump’s fashion sense, in particular who has said they will or won’t dress her.

But, despite being snubbed by designers like Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, she has successfully stepped out in high-fashion pieces by Jason Wu, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana.

For this reason, fans of the First Lady have spoken out over the Trump family’s exclusion from the list, with some accusing Vanity Fair of overlooking her because of its political position.

“Vanity Fair made a big mistake by purposely neglecting to give credit to @FLOTUS Melania in the 2017 Best Dressed List-She's a Fashion Icon!” one person wrote.

Another added, “Not having Melania Trump on best dressed list is pure spite. You know as well as I do she is best dressed PERIOD!”
