Once again, Melania Trump is officially the First Lady of the United States. While one body language expert noted that Melania Trump was “unhappy” during election night, her outfit was in the spotlight and the subject of deep analysis, with one piece of clothing standing out.
The First Lady wore a very special hat, which appeared to have a powerful message.
Speaking to the Mirror, body language expert Judi James noticed Donald spent much of the inauguration clutching his wife’s hand or, as she described, “taking it like some Regency gentleman, kissing her proffered cheek or even gazing at her as they danced together like a man in the throes of some romantic thrall.”
According to Judi James, Melania’s outfit played a vital part in sending a message about what kind of First Lady she would be.
Most of representatives for designer brands such as Michael Kors, Diotima’s Rachel Scott, Zankov’s Sergio Hudson, and House of Gilles declined to comment whether they would want to work with Melania for the inauguration. Previously, during Donald Trump’s first term, designers such as Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, and Jason Wu publicly refused to dress Melania.
Speaking with Women’s Wear Daily, French designer Hervé Pierre explained that he hasn’t gotten a good answer about why some people won’t work with the First Lady.
Melania has claimed that she is much more prepared to enter the White House this time around. She will likely appear differently.
“Melania’s body language during the 2025 inauguration is still and neutral,” Inbaal told the Express. “She sits still in her model pose, her facial expression neutral, not drawing any attention to herself, letting all attention be on her husband.”
The Designer said that she appeared more “friendly.”
Inbaal Honigman concluded: “This inauguration’s Melania was protected from criticism by hiding her expression behind a wide-brimmed hat so that she could keep her neutral expression with no issue.”
Melania wore her hat for the entire day, both inside and while walking outside, and it became the talk of the town.
The hat made it hard to see Melania’s eyes. When speaking in Emancipation Hall, Donald joked that her hat nearly blew away while she was stood next to a military helicopter.
Futhermore, Melania wore a navy silk wool coat with a navy skirt and an ivory silk crepe blouse, created by American designer Adam Lippes.
Although the ceremonies throughout the day went well for the Trumps, social media users had a lot to say about Melania’s hat. One person wrote on X, previously known as Twitter, that she “looks like she’s going to a funeral.”
