For the last question in the second presidential debate on Sunday night, when candidates were asked to say something nice about their opponent, Hillary Clinton said she respected Donald Trump’s children.
But some eagle-eyed viewers on Twitter might give the edge to wife Melania for her perfectly ironic fashion choice.

Melania Trump was dressed in a hot pink blouse and slacks for the town hall event in Missouri, and Twitter users are pretty confident the top is an $1,100 number from Gucci that is called the “pussy-bow silk crepe de chine shirt.”

The irony here is that a leaked tape of the Republican nominee boasting about being able to “grab [women] by the pussy” has lit the internet on fire since its release Friday afternoon.

It’s the second time in as many days that Melania, who called her husband’s comments “unacceptable and offensive,” has been pulled into the headlines for what has been perceived as a silent protest.
