Jemima Khan's Halloween costume makes a statement about Donald Trump

Thought we're not exactly sure what the statement was meant to be... hmm...

Updated 14 Oct, 2016

Many people would call Donald Trump scary and monstrous after a 2005 video of his lewd comments about women recently resurfaced.

But Jemima Goldsmith (formerly Jemima Khan) may have made the most evocative statement yet.

At the annual UNICEF Halloween Ball, Jemima went dressed as a woman being groped by Donald Trump.

In the 2005 leaked video, Trump is seen boasting in vulgar terms about trying to have sex with an unidentified married woman and groping women, saying “when you're a star, they let you do it”.

Jemima's choice of attire — a body-hugging ivory dress — have caused many to infer that she is assuming the character of Melania Trump, who often sports similar silhouettes.

To really drive the horror home, Jemima was carrying a placard declaring "Make America great again! Trump 2016. Vote on 28th November!!!" reminding us that this man intends to be the next President of the United States.

While Jemima's Halloween statement scored points for virality potential, is it in the best taste? It might just minimise the suffering of women who have come forward with stories of sexual harassment by Trump.

@SAPer 1. They are divorced for over 13 years. Do you consider her to be his property? 2. What image?

Brilliant. If it convinces even one person to not vote for trump, it will be worth it.

@SAPer : I don't think she is denting Imran's image as Imran and Jemima separated years ago. This is her personal life. She can do whatever she wants.

@SAPer She has nothing to do with IK other than that she is mother of his 2 sons. Why IK comes automatically in all the actions of Jemima. IK was her past.She is a single lady who lives freely in UK. No connection with IK at all. Change your thinking, buddy.

@SAPer She has nothing to do with Imran Khan she is his EX wife as in the past. She is her own woman and can do as she pleases. Take your misogyny elsewhere. Just because she married him once doesn't mean he owns her now.

@SAPer Jemima Goldsmith was a close friend of Princess Diana among others. She is her own person. Imran Khan is her ex-husband and father of her children, thats the beginning and the end of the story concerning Imran Khan.

Despite disclosing reluctantly a few months ago that she will stop using imran's surname, Jemima still goes by Jemima Khan in the British newspapers. She is still using Khan as her surname.

@SAPer she is her own individual not IK's property not when married to him and certainly not when divorced. I think this article is a waste of webspace for she went as trumps trophy wife and it ends there trying to link everything to women's rights and a deeper meaning is futile. Don't think we need to dig deeper in to meanings when we go as Marilyn Monroe or Charlie Chaplin.

@SAPer . Wake up. Jemima has an image of her own. A liberal educated woman with conscience and i think it's a brave and bold clear statement she made here. Imran on the other hand is responsible for his own image.

I don't think that this will 'minimise the suffering of women'.. in fact it will do just the opposite in order to highlight that cruelty against women. . Trump slogan should have beeen changed to "Make America Grope Again!!"

I think you missed the date. Elections are on 8th and not on 28th as she had it on her placard. Actually, a few days ago Trump has mistakenly asked his voters to vote for him on 28th. Her placard with 28th as polling date is pointing to Trumps stupidity.
