It’s the hat everybody’s talking about—even Donald Trump.
As I took the oath of office in 2025, proudly becoming the 47th President of the United States, I couldn’t help but admire the captivating accessory that graced the First Lady. It was a striking navy blue brimmed hat, adorned with a white band, skillfully crafted by none other than Eric Javits.
Before this moment, we stepped outside towards the helicopter and bid farewell,” Trump said to the audience on the 20th of January, as his wife watched from the stage. “It was incredibly windy out there, and with the hat she’s wearing, it seemed like she might get blown away.
He went on, causing laughter among the crowd. ‘She was so close to slipping away,’ he said, ‘her momentum lifted her right off the ground, she was barely holding on against the wind.’
As an utterly smitten admirer, I can’t help but gush over the stunning ensemble worn by the First Lady! The pièce de résistance was a headpiece from Adam Lippes, completing a look that left me spellbound. It featured a double-breasted navy silk wool coat and a matching pencil skirt, both exuding elegance. Accentuating this outfit was an ivory silk crepe blouse and blue suede heels – a combination that truly took my breath away!
Lippes expressed that the tradition of dressing the First Lady for the presidential inauguration represents the splendor of American democracy, and on January 20th, we were privileged to do so for Mrs. Melania Trump. The outfit she wore was skillfully crafted by some of America’s top artisans, and I am immensely proud to present this exceptional work to the world.
Yet, there was a potential crisis as the striking hat almost didn’t make it into the ensemble because of a problem that occurred during transportation from Miami to New York. This predicament, according to Javits, added an element of suspense, or as he put it, “a bit of a cliffhanger.
In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily on January 20th, he stated that the hat appears to have been badly damaged upon arrival. It seemed like it had been left in snow for a week. As a result, he had no choice but to rework it extensively because it couldn’t be properly repaired due to its unique construction.
Luckily, Herve Pierre, Melania’s stylist, personally delivered a new hat to her. He wanted to ensure no other mishaps occurred by hand-delivering it himself.
