First Lady Melania Trump‘s hat stole the show at President Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. All eyes were on her style as she made her return to Washington, D.C. with her husband for the occasion. She opted for a tailored look in a navy blue outfit, but her large boater hat managed to overpower the rest of the ensemble. Before heading to the U.S. Capitol Rotunda for the presidential inauguration, the couple stopped by the White House and St. John’s Episcopal Church.
Melania Trump’s hat became the talk of the town after Inauguration photos went viral
Melania Trump’s hat became the talk of the town at President Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony on Monday. The first lady wore a super crisp and tailored fit to the occasion but soon turned heads with her headpiece. Photos of her ensemble quickly went viral, with social media users pointing out the larger-than-life hat that almost entirely masked her eyes throughout the ceremony.
Mrs. Trump’s tailored look was designed by Adam Lippes, a New York-based designer. The outfit featured a navy double-breasted coat nipped at the waist. Underneath the wool coat was a silk wool pencil skirt and a crisp ivory silk crepe blouse that formed a sharp neckline. The first lady further topped her fit with matching palm gloves and black stiletto heels. The boater hat also incorporated navy and ivory colors, forming a sense of symmetry throughout the ensemble.
In a press release, designer Lippes revealed that Melania Trump’s outfit was “created by some of America’s finest craftsmen.” Meanwhile, fellow designer Eric Javits, who created the hat, shared his experience upon seeing his creation donned by the first lady. He told ABC News, “When I saw it on her head, it really transformed. The experience became very powerful.”
Melania Trump switched to a more celebratory look at President Donald Trump’s inaugural ball. Walking next to her husband and the country’s 47th president, she stunned in a strapless white gown with a geometric black strap around the fabric. She paired her fit with white heels and a statement black choker.
