Donald Trump was sworn in at the Capitol in Washington on Monday, January 20, becoming the 47th American president. For his return to the White House, he was obviously accompanied by his wife Melania, who opted for a rather obscure style, with a huge hat by Eric Javitz as the centerpiece.

The rest after the ad
This Monday, January 20, 2025 in Washington, during the inauguration of her husband Donald Trump, who has just become the 47th President of the United States, Melania appeared – alongside Joe and Jill Biden in particular – looked from head to toe . However, his style is surprising. While she was expected to opt for a fairly glamorous outfit, the First Lady ultimately appeared in a navy ensemble with an austere officer feel.
-And above all, she was equipped a huge hat signed Eric Javitzlike Audrey Hepburn or Coco Chanel. With this headgear hiding the upper part of her face, the 54-year-old American has not gone unnoticed…Far from it! Note that for this big occasion, Barron Trump's mother called on an American designer. With Frenchman Hervé Pierre, her stylist for 8 years, Melania Trump chose an ensemble by Adam Lippes: a designer from Buffalo, who became known when he was at Oscar de la Renta.
A choice that is rare enough to be highlighted, she who usually finds happiness with foreign designers, sporting different looks from major European luxury houses such as Dior, Dolce & Gabbana (the Italian duo was recently in Paris) or even Saint Laurent .

Let us point out, however, that this is not the first time that this has happened. Moreover, when her famous husband first arrived at the White House in 2017, she had already worn a local brand. She was then dressed in a sky blue outfit, matching her gloves. “Mrs. Trump truly shocked the world during her swearing-in with this suit that was very reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy's outfits, and seemed to suggest that she had studied the role of a First Lady..” Vanessa Friedman, fashion editor of the New York Times, analyzed at the time.
However, her look sparked many comments this Monday on social networks. “His wife clearly in mourning”, “Um, is it a funeral?”, “Why the hat whyiiii”, could we read, with Internet users then believing that she was wearing a “funeral outfit”, which is not not really appropriate for the event.
