LOOK: Melania Trump turns heads with inauguration outfit
The First Lady stunned crowds with beautiful ensembles during Donald Trump's inauguration celebrations.
January 20, 2025, marked a historic moment as Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as the 45th President of the United States.
While the ceremony in Washington, DC, drew attention for its political and symbolic significance, it was Melania Trump who stole the spotlight with her stunning ensemble.
Thousands gathered at the US Capitol to witness the swearing-in, but all eyes were on the former First Lady as she made her entrance.

Melania's look for the inauguration exuded her signature First Lady style: sharply tailored, chic, and commanding attention.
According to BBC, she was dressed in a navy outfit designed by New York-based designer Adam Lippes, complemented by a dramatic wide-brim hat from Eric Javits.

Lippes, known for his luxurious and understated designs, shared that the outfit was hand-stitched in New York by some of America's finest craftsmen.
Her wide-brim hat, featuring a cream ribbon that contrasted with the navy base, was another standout feature.
It was both striking and unconventional, with even fashion expert Lauren Rothman commenting on the hat.

"A boater is traditionally a summer hat, worn in places like Venice – not in freezing Washington, DC. This look blends Palm Beach sophistication with DC formality, creating a global fashion aesthetic."
Lippes' designs range from £1,000 (R22,000) to over £7,500 (R170,00) reported BBC.
Melania was also praised for her custom Hervé Pierre dress, which she wore during her first dance with Trump following his inauguration.
