Melania Trump’s first action as First Lady? Serving a classic look.
On January 20, 2025, during the Presidential Inauguration, the First Lady adorned herself to make an impact, as her spouse, Donald Trump, was being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.
On this special event, Melania donned a custom double-breasted navy coat and coordinating skirt by Adam Lippes, paired with an ivory blouse and dark blue suede shoes. She accessorized the ensemble with a chic wide-brimmed boater hat adorned with a minimalistic white band from Eric Javits.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I had the privilege of designing the attire for our esteemed First Lady, Mrs. Melania Trump, for today’s presidential inauguration. This tradition symbolizes the breathtaking essence of American democracy, and it was an honor to be part of this historic event.
The outfit created for Mrs. Trump was a labor of love from some of America’s most skilled artisans. I am immensely proud to present their exceptional craftsmanship to the world. I express my heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Trump for her faith in me and our collaboration.
In the meantime, Eric disclosed that the 54-year-old’s daring accessory encountered a significant problem during shipping from Miami to New York last month.
He mentioned in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily on January 20th that the hat appeared to have been squashed upon arrival. It seemed like it had been left in snow for a week. Naturally, he had to rush to fix it, as it couldn’t be properly mended due to its unique construction.
As he put it, “It was a little bit of a cliffhanger.”
Instead, the designer managed to create a fresh version which was later delivered personally by Hervé Pierre, Melania’s trusted stylist who happened to be in Florida, to avoid any additional mishaps. Eric further explained, “He had a driver; Hervé hand-delivered it to minimize potential incidents.
After passing it off, the hat stayed hidden until her arrival at the White House. There, she met with Donald and they both greeted President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.
After exchanging it, the hat was out of view until she reached the White House, where she encountered Donald and they both welcomed President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden, who was serving as the First Lady.
Eric shared that neither anyone else’s hands nor their eyes had interacted with or observed the hat before it was given to Herve and the first lady.
At Melania’s arrival at the Inauguration, people started noticing similarities between her hat and Carmen Sandiego’s signature piece, leading some to comment that she seemed to have taken on Carmen Sandiego’s iconic style, as one user put it on X (formerly known as Twitter): “It looks like I’ve found where in the world Carmen Sandiego is!
Added another, “Melania wearing a dress from the Carmen Sandiego fashion line.”
