The appearance of the first lady of the country is part of the image of the state. The dress code and even norms of behavior are strictly regulated by the diplomatic protocol service, and the wives of the presidents are obliged to observe them at international meetings and official events. Moreover, there are unspoken rules that determine the social life of the main persons of the state. These traditions have developed over time and are moving from one family to another.
In what it is impossible to appear in public the first lady of the states, and which of them does not comply with these rules, says Adme.ru.
1. Bright makeup
The wife of the head of state cannot afford bright accents in makeup, and even smoky eyes are not welcome. This rule originates from the royal family. Eye shadow should be in pastel shades, but only mascara and neat eyeliner are preferable. This rule is most often not followed by Melania Trump with her favorite smoky eye makeup.
2. Sandals
The first lady should not appear at events in open shoes. Even in extreme heat it is forbidden to open the heel or toe, and shoes should not be decorated with zippers, rhinestones, straps and have a platform in the nose. This rule is often not followed by the wife of the president of Argentina, Julian Avad, who prefers to wear sandals in the heat.

3. Bright lipsticks and lip glosses
Red lipstick and bright lip glosses attract a lot of looks, so it is forbidden for the wives of the heads of state to officially paint their lips. This rule has been around for many years, and it came, like so many others, from the etiquette of the British royal families. Lipstick should be light and matte. First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva, who loves to gloss her lips, neglects this rule.
4. Lack of tights
The spouse of the president should not appear in public with bare feet. The dress code allows the use of bodily and translucent tights without shine. For informal events it is permissible to wear black tights. The only first lady who violates this rule is the wife of American President Melania Trump, whose beautiful legs can be seen during her many appearances.
5. Bright manicure
The first ladies also had to forget about the design of nails, rhinestones and bright shades on their nails. Nails can be pale pink, pastel colors, a jacket is also allowed. Gel polish and other long-term coatings are not welcome. The reason is that the first lady's manicure should always match the rest of the image, so sometimes you have to change the color of the nail polish during the day.

6. Mother of pearl makeup and skin gloss
Highlighters, shimmers, pearlescent shades, reflective powders - all this is also prohibited. Spouses of presidents are very often under the flashes of cameras, and all this shine will certainly be visible in the photo. The powder should be perfectly matched to the skin tone, blush matte, light tones are acceptable. At a banquet in London, trouble occurred with the first lady of China: her makeup artist overdid it with translucent powder. Peng Liyuan's face in all the photos looked as if he had been sprinkled with flour.
7. Short skirts, neckline
It is obvious that the spouses of the heads of state should not show naked parts of the body in public. Even sundresses were banned, and indeed all outfits should be with sleeves, since it is unacceptable to strip armpits for the first lady. However, ladies break this rule regularly. But the love of skirts above the knee is distinguished by the wife of French President Brigitte Macron.
8. Colorful outfit
The wife of the president can use in one outfit 2 or 3 shades, but no more. Also, the outfit of the first lady should be combined with the clothes of the spouse. Not only bright, flashy colors, but also bright details are forbidden. Most often, this requirement was violated by Michelle Obama, who loved to appear at events in floral prints, printed prints, and colorful dresses.
9. The image should be fully consistent with the event
The wives of presidents sometimes have to rack their brains to choose an outfit that matches an official event, a diplomatic trip, or a visit to a charity foundation. The image of the first lady should be fully consistent with the event. The record holder for violating this rule is Melania Trump.
Center for Migrant Children in Texas Spouse of the Head of State went in a jacket with the inscription "I do not care. And you?". True, upon arriving at the place, Melania changed her outfit to a more formal one. But this image still made a lot of noise around her person. The first lady stood up for her husband, US President Donald Trump, explaining on his twitter that the inscription was addressed to the fake media: the first lady was convinced of their deceit, but she no longer cares.
