Twitter blows up about Melania Trump's coat

Melania Trump helped pardon a pair of Thanksgiving turkeys but it was her poultry-inspired coat that drew all the attention from the Twitter-verse.

To witness the annual turkey pardoning ceremony — a 155-year tradition that began during Abraham Lincoln’s presidency — Melania wore a Dior colour-block coat in brown, orange, black and white with a pair of tall, black stiletto boots, but some on Twitter trashed the look as “ridiculous,” “hideous” and a cry for help.

During the Rose Garden ceremony, the US President officially pardoned two birds from South Dakota named Peas and Carrots.

“That turkey is so lucky. I’ve never seen such a beautiful turkey,” he said.

But the lucky turkeys lost control of the room when attention was diverted to the first lady’s coat.

A few believed the coat was a subliminal message from Melania to escape her role as the first lady, in the spirit of #FreeMelania.

The coat did receive some compliments — Twitter users also called the look stunning and beautiful.
