Once again, Melania Trump assumed the role of First Lady as Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President. Melania’s hat, designed by Eric Javits, sparked much discussion, with some praising its elegance while others mocked it online. Body language expert Judi James noted Melania’s confidence and unity with Donald, contrasting her more subdued demeanor with her behavior in 2017.
Many designers declined to dress Melania, reflecting the fashion industry’s mixed stance toward her. Melania stated she feels more prepared for the role this time, though their son, Barron, will not live in the White House, focusing on college instead.
