Melania Trump’s outfits always get people’s attention.

And with the world watching on during Donald Trump’s inauguration today, Melania, who is the first lady again with her husband being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, her fashion attire had the internet talking.

Melania Trump’s hat, specifically, did.

Her American-designed boater hat had a brim so large that it even created a barrier for Donald Trump when he went in for a kiss before his presidential address inside the Capitol building for the swearing-in ceremony.

Donald Trump jokes about Melania Trump’s hat

Trump even joked about Melania’s hat when he talked to supporters following his inauguration address after saying goodbye to former President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden at their helicopter.

“The wind is blowing like crazy,” the president said. “The hat, she is wearing, she almost blew away. We almost lost our first lady. She was being elevated off the ground. She almost blew away. No. A great first lady. Beautiful. And a great first lady.”
