Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, with his wife, Melania Trump, by his side in a striking navy outfit. She wore a custom double-breasted coat by Adam Lippes and a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, sparking debate. Some speculated she aimed to project strength, with one saying, “Don’t mess with me kind of thing.” Reactions ranged from admiration—”Melania’s hat! [fire emoji]”—to criticism, like an X user stating, “You don’t wear a hat in a church.” Regardless, her bold look commanded attention at the inauguration in Washington, D.C.
