British pop veteran Boy George got political at Paris Fashion Week, defending new US first lady Melania Trump against negative press about her former modelling career.
"You know what - as somebody who has a past - I think it's really wrong and mean-spirited of women to be so abusive," he The Associated Press.
The Culture Club frontman added that, in the Herve Pierre-designed inauguration gown, Melania "looked amazing."
The singer, who is gay, said people should "remain positive" about the next four years in the United States. Still, he lamented - with a hint of humour - that President Donald Trump didn't mention the LGBT community - "or me" - in his inauguration speech.
