Melania Trump is so chic in statement hat as the new first lady at husband Donald’s inauguration
Donald Trump will be officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America on Monday, succeeding Joe Biden.
At his inauguration, the politician will be surrounded by his family – including eldest daughter Ivanka and wife Melania – during his oath ceremony, which is being held in Washington D.C.
Former Presidents in attendance at the inauguration included Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and former First Ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Dr. Jill Biden. Michelle Obama was absent, however, after confirming through a representative that she would not join her husband, just days after she missed Jimmy Carter’s funeral as well.

Standing proudly in support of her husband hours ahead of his big moment, former model Melania looked like her typically stylish self, sporting a chic monochrome outfit, including a statement hat. Her makeup was as pristine as always and the brunette beauty wore her hair was worn up, hidden by her hat.
Melania’s 2017 inauguration outfit
Trump’s first inauguration happened in 2017, and Melania looked incredible for the ceremony, donning all-American label Ralph Lauren. She sported a delightful powder blue dress that was very Jackie O.

The First Lady recently made an appearance on Fox and Friends with Ainsley Earhardt and lifted the lid about her living arrangements during her husband’s presidency. “I will be in the White House, and when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. But my first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife. And once we are in on January 20, you serve the country.”
Reflecting on the role, the 54-year-old said: “Maybe some people, they see me as just a wife of the president, but I’m standing on my own two feet, independent. I have my own thoughts. I have my own yes and no. I don’t always agree with what my husband is saying or doing. And that’s OK.”
