Donald Trump sworn in as the 47th president of the United States of America, and his beloved wife, Melania Trump, stood beside him, wearing an outfit that people say felt familiar.
The former model opted for a custom double-breasted navy coat by Adam Lippes that she paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, designed especially for the occasion.
Melaniaβs bold outfit made many question if she was trying to send a message -that sheβs not someone you can mess with- on the historic day when her husband sworn in as a president for the second time.
βMakes her look hard. But maybe thatβs what she wants to look like today, all business. Donβt mess with me kind of thing,β one person commented.
As always,Β Melaniaβs choice of outfitΒ caused quite a stir. While some loved it, others mocked it, but one thing is certain, all eyes were on her at St. Johnβs Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square, Washington D.C. on her husbandβs inauguration.
Sharing their thoughts on the social media, anΒ XΒ user wrote: βI donβt like the hat. You donβt wear a hat in a church. Iβm old fashioned.β
However, there were those who praised the First Ladyβs fashion statement.
βMelaniaβs hat! [fire emoji],β one wrote.
βThat hat!β exclaimed another, while a third person beamed: βLove Melaniaβs hat! Why canβt we all wear hats & gloves again? So stylish.β
βMelaniaβs 1920s style Gatsby hat is smoke show,β someone else commented.
Some mentioned that he outfit looked kind of familiar, comparing it to BeyoncΓ©βsΒ iconic βFormationβ outfit, writing that the First Lady is in βherΒ LemonadeΒ era,β referencing to the singerβs album name.
βOk ladies now letβs get in formation,β someone else commented, quoting one of the songβs lyrics, while a third added: βYALL HATERS CORNY WITH THAT ILLUMINATI MESS.β
βNot Melania gettin into formation,β and βOk Melania about to get in formation,β were other of the comments regarding Mrs. Trumpβs outfit.
Speaking toΒ FoxΒ of her role as a First Lady, Melania said, βI feel I was always me the first time as well, I just feel that people didnβt accept me maybe.
βMaybe some people, they see me as just a wife of the president, but Iβm standing on my own two feet, independent. I have my own thoughts.
βI have my own yes and no. I donβt always agree with what my husband is saying or doing. And thatβs OK.β
She said that her priority is to be a mom, a First Lady, and a wife. βAnd once we are in on Jan. 20, you serve the country,β she added.
