Melania Trump goes viral with inauguration hat

While one body language expert branded Melania Trump “unhappy” during election night, things appeared to be different for the inauguration. Meanwhile, Melania’s 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. And for that – on social media at least – Melania Trump was mocked.

Donald and Melania have been preparing to move into the White House for months. On Monday, January 20, it finally happened as the former real estate mogul was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, beginning his second term as president. His wife and the rest of his family, including he and Melania’s son, Barron, were at his side the entire day. Because of the unusually cold weather, Trump took his oath of office inside the Capitol Rotunda.

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.”

The First Lady’s outfits are always likely to be a big talking point. For the inauguration, they were, of course, heavily scrutinzed. According to Judi James, Melania’s outfit played a crucial part in sending a message about what kind of First Lady she would be.

“Her saucer- shaped hat and her fiercely-tailored coat twinned her as an equal to Trump and a woman who means business this time around. Beneath the brim her smile was regal and confident, while her eyes were kept hidden,” James said.

“During tricky social moments, like when they were seeing the Biden’s off after Trump’s flame-thrower of a speech, Melania seemed to make her own feelings very clear when Biden placed an arm around her waist for a full ten seconds and she turned away towards her husband with one elbow splayed as she held onto her hat brim. As Trump leaned in to shake hands with Biden she placed her own arm around Trump’s waist for several seconds and patted him in a gesture of reward and reassurance.”

While Melania wore a stunning outfit, getting the exact one she perhaps wanted appears to have been quite tricky. Women’s Wear Daily contacted 16 designers to ask if they would dress Melania. However, Mrs. Trump, it appears, isn’t all that popular with designers.

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.
