Melania Trump’s attire at her husband’s second inauguration sparked widespread attention. She wore a custom navy double-breasted coat by Adam Lippes, paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, a look that many interpreted as a statement of strength and resilience. Social media reactions were mixed: some admired the 1920s Gatsby-like style, while others criticized the hat, especially in a church setting. The outfit even drew comparisons to Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ era, with commenters referencing its cultural significance. In an interview, Melania emphasized her independence, noting that while she supports her husband, she also has her own thoughts and priorities. Her fashion choice, like her public persona, prompted deeper conversations about identity, power, and style.
