Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th U.S. President, marking the start of his second term, with Melania Trump making a bold fashion statement. She wore a custom double-breasted navy coat by Adam Lippes paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits. The look sparked debate online, with some seeing it as a symbol of confidence and strength, while others criticized the hat, questioning its appropriateness for a church setting. Many praised the ensemble for its 1920s-inspired elegance, with comparisons drawn to Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ era and jokes about Melania entering her “Lemonade phase.”
During the inauguration service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Melania’s outfit garnered significant attention. Reflecting on her role as First Lady, she emphasized her independence, admitting she didn’t always agree with her husband. However, she prioritized serving the country, balancing her duties as a mother, wife, and First Lady, continuing to captivate public interest with her style and role.
