On Inauguration Day, first lady Melania Trump made a fashion statement by wearing a navy wide-brimmed hat designed by American designer Eric Javits. The hat shielded her eyes as President Donald Trump was sworn in for the second time. Javits expressed that dressing the first lady was a great honor and highlighted how his art background helped in creating hat shapes that flattered her face.
The hat garnered attention throughout the ceremony, even causing a humorous moment when President Trump joked about it nearly blowing away due to the wind generated by a military helicopter. Melania Trump's outfit, including a navy silk wool coat, skirt, and ivory silk crepe blouse, was designed by independent American designer Adam Lippes, who emphasized the pride in showcasing American craftsmanship on such a significant occasion.
