I still think he is a big blowhard.

And self impressed and self aggrandizing.

Very elegant - a black tie event no doubt. Classy? I don't know - classy is something you live or the way you live, act, inter-act, and how well spoken you are. There's more to being classy in just dressing a certain way.

Classy is frequently used to describe the way someone is dressed. Not exclusively for behavior, speech, etc.

Can't agree. Look at how many found Jackie O classy for her speech and behavior. Classy is just not for the way anyone dresses.

Why don't you google who his fiance is?

She speaks 3 languages, is an accomplished lawyer and a human rights activist.

So un-classy to argue about how classy she is when you don't even know anything about her.
