JAKARTA - First Lady Melania Trump appeared in an unusual inauguration dress on Monday, January 20. The appearance of the wife of US President Donald Trump is in the spotlight after wearing a wide hat that covers part of his face.
At the inauguration of her husband, Donald Trump, Melania wore a New York designer's coat and skirt, Adam Lippes. Reported by VOI from the People's page on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, Melania combines her outfit with a big hat. In a photo with Joe and Jill Biden before the oath-taking ceremony, Melania's eyes were covered by the shadow of her hat, with a serious facial expression.
The last time Melania wore a hat at the inauguration ceremony during the day was Hillary Clinton in 1993. She wore a blue bowler hat that didn't cover her face.
It is not yet clear whether one of Melania's inauguration clothes in 2025 will be immortalized in history by being part of the lechery's First Ladies Collection collection, which showcases more than two dozen fashions for the first lady.
The exhibition is curated to show the historic contributions of these women during their husband's reign, and has existed for nearly a century.
"This exhibition encourages visitors to consider changing the roles of American first ladys and women over the past 200 years," wrote theport site.
Melania, who is also a former model and second lady born outside the United States, has previously donated her 2017 inauguration dress to her levy collection.
In recent years, this collection has also added Dr. Jill Biden's inauguration dress in 2021, consisting of blue and white clothes, each equipped with a matching face mask and Michelle Obama's white dress from her husband's first inauguration, Barack Obama, in 2009.

Historically, the fashion of the first lady often carries intentional symbolism.
"For example, Dr. Biden's inauguration dress in 2021 is blue which symbolizes trust, belief, and stability," explained Alexandria O'Neill, founder of Markarian's label who designed the outfit.
This theme is in accordance with that moment, namely the Biden family entering the White House amidst extreme political divisions. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt daily life and the American people need a sense of calm.
Vice President Kamala Harris, although not a first lady, also used her inauguration dress in 2021 to recognize her historic role as the first woman, first black, and first person of Asian descent to hold the post.
Harris wore a royal purple coat and dress designed by Christopher John Rogers, a Brooklyn-based designer. The purple color is a tribute to Shirley Chisholm, a former member of the New York House of Representatives who inspired Harris' career. Meanwhile, the pearl necklace he wore honors his student association at Howard University, Alpha Kappa Alpha.
