(94,703 posts)The Queen looks like she's thinking, "What the hell am I doing?"

Her Majesty is not amused.
And my guess is that President Obama got the fit right on the dinner jacket. Looks like Trump forgot to tuck his in. I can't wait for all the photos and all the memes pointing this out.

(16,120 posts)18 year old son just looked at the picture and asked why his clothing fits so awfully and pointed out that at the level of dress he's at, the vest should generally only come down an inch or so.
Apparently band geeks learn a lot more about formal clothing than I realized.

First pic, Queen is saying, "What a lovely young man!"
Second pic, Queen is saying, "I hope the fat fucker doesn't try to mug me! Luckily, I'm wearing the fake jewels."

(269,157 posts)Queenie is smiling with Obama
Bettie
(16,120 posts)is entirely different with the two men.
With Obama she's relaxed, engaged, and standing in a way that includes him. With Trump, she's tense, folding in on herself a little as if she wants to be elsewhere, and facing directly forward, not including him in her circle.
The difference in her body language is stunning

(13,776 posts)President Obama (and even Benedict Cumberbatch, in the picture with the article) didn't get it 100% right, and GQ says it's a subtle point, but wow did Trump miss the mark. What on earth happened? I know he didn't pack his own bags, but that's like he's wearing someone else's outfit.

If he were smiling like a normal person would be, though, that would have made up for a lot.

(951 posts)We've seen tRump and Obama stand side by side...
Yet in these photos, the Queen's head goes to about clavicle height on Obama, yet way short of tRump's shoulders.
Is he wearing ridiculous lifts to attempt to dwarf the Queen?
octoberlib
(14,971 posts)enlarging the picture and looking at Trump's shoes, they do look like lifts. Nice Catch!

(7,689 posts)with rich and poor musicians, and I've NEVER seen such badly cut tails (or "frock" coat as it is sometimes called.) For me, Placido Domingo had the most beautiful threads -- as a sewer, it was hard for me to resist going up to him to feel the fabric of his coat!
The width of Spanky's pants, JFC!
