Donald Trump 'more orange than he's ever been' in terrifying Rose Garden speech
Fresh concerns have been raised about President Trump's skin color after he appeared particularly orange in a recent clip, though critics have questioned if the video was oversaturated. A fresh debate has been ignited over President Donald Trump 's skin color after a video clip in which he looked particularly orange went viral. Journalist Aaron Rupar remarked on X that President Trump looked "as orange as he's ever been today" after sharing a news clip from Fox News of Trump speaking outside at the White House Rose Garden late Monday afternoon. Around 3:22 p.m. EDT, President Trump announced that he signed the Take It Down Act, a near-unanimously passed bill proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) last year that criminalizes deepfake and revenge porn. For several years, people have poked at the reality TV star-turned-president for his skin color, which often appears to be spray-tanned in a particularly orange shade. Several users replied to Rupar with photoshopped images of Trump as an oompa-loompa, orange characters from Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' while others shared images of various Pantone orange shades. "Oompa Loompa looking a--," one user replied, with another critic similarly adding: "Oompa Loompa doompety boom, Trump's failed tariffs spell economic doom." "Same shade as the traffic cones in a parking lot," another snarked. A third joked, "HOLY S--T, HE LITERALLY GOT DIPPED IN CHEETO POWDER." "Wearing perfect makeup for the circus he's running," another critic remarked. Making fun of both heads of office, another snidely said, "He didn't put a tariff on cosmetics cause he and JD Vance both have the most sephora VIB points of any shopper ever." In light of the president's recent trip to the Middle East, another replied, "That's a custom Saudi Arabian spray tan." However, Rupar's post also solicited ample criticism from users who cast doubt on the authenticity of the clip, which was sourced from Fox News, slamming Rupar, who boasts 968,000 followers on X, for "running out of material." "The saturation in the video is tweaked," one claimed. Another similarly added, "Wow! Even the flowers in the background have an unnatural hue. Aaron is still playing with his new imaging processing app." One partisan chimed in, rebuking, "Democrats are green — with envy."

Monochrome Monday: The Caribbean Blue Edition
This shade of blue is a story of chromatic contradiction. Saturated but soft, languorous but vivid, it captures that convergence of feelings that occur at the border between sea and land. May 19, 2025 Pantone's Caribbean Blue doesn't quite know who she is, and that's ok. With its dulled undertone and saturated surface, Caribbean Blue is a story in contradiction. It's not quite turquoise, not quite teal. This is a shade which speaks in long, yawning sentences rather than monosyllabic statements. It's sun-drunk afternoons, surf-slicked skin, and that electric clam when sea meets the sky and everything else melts away. It's deep lagoons, and the gleam of rooftop pool tiles at golden hour. What is clear, however, is that this is the shade of summer by the sea - and all the emotions that unravel in those long, hot days. Think flowing gowns, mini dresses, jacquard lounge sets, and lots of glitter. This Monochrome Monday we're reimagining this hue across textures, silhouettes, and accessories that shimmer like seafoam and enter with a crash. Oceanus The Label | Athena Cut-out Beaded Mini Dress Equal parts sultry and sculptural, this embellished mini dress hugs the body like a second skin and glistens like sunlight hitting water. An instant showstopper for sunset parties or moonlit escapades. Be-Indie | Pomme D'Amour Cardigan and Shorts Knitted in a wave-soft jacquard, this lounge set floats between cozy and coastal. Cool as a sea breeze, it's leisurewear for landlocked mermaids. Rebel Cairo | Milky Way Knot Bag Artfully slouched and beach-found in spirit, this sculptural knot bag blends utility with otherworldly cool. A glinting gem-stone chain adds that little splash of extra. Mozari | Swirl Ring Inspired by the nautilus shell, this swirling statement ring is adorned with 35 deep sapphire stones. A wearable tidepool, crafted to mesmerise. Dima Ayad | Sleeveless Fitted Ruffle Dress Cut in luxurious satin with a fitted bodice and a flirty ruffle hem, this piece captures Caribbean Blue's duality - sharp yet soft, romantic yet structured. Pair with metallic heels and a moment of drama. Kat Von D | Dazzle Gel Eyeshadow in Cobalt Vortex This eyeshadow brings all the shimmer and none of the subtlety. Swipe on and ride the wave of the night. A Better Feeling | Arctus Glasses Architectural eyewear with a matte finish and a sea-glass tint. This is the fashion equivalent of an ice cube in a very strong cocktail, it's Curaçao on the rocks. Maison Saedi | Marie Louis A pleated tulle dream with puffed sleeves and sheer softness. Maison Saedi's gown is Caribbean Blue in couture form - ethereal, floaty, and grounded in structure. Manolo Blahnik | Maysale 50 Buckled Velvet Mules Mules are having their moment in the sun right now. First launched in '91, these iconic velvet mules are as relevant as ever. Delicate kitten heels meet bold buckles, Blahnik does contradiction in all the right ways, just like the shade they wear.
