Inauguration of Donald Trump: Melania Trump relies on US designers

The new US President Donald Trump (78) and his wife, Melania Trump (54), began the official part of Inauguration Day at St. John’s Episcopal Church near the White House. Before Trump’s term in office begins at 12:00 noon (local time), the new First Lady has apparently made a statement with her choice of clothing.

Melania, a former model, was the First Lady of the United States during Trump’s first term in office between 2017 and 2021. For her return to the White House, the 54-year-old wore a navy blue, double-breasted coat to match her husband’s. She opted for a coordinating hat, black leather gloves and dark blue suede pumps, which completed the elegant look.

One of the pieces worn by the new First Lady are designs by two American fashion designers. The coat is said to come from Adam Lippes, the hat from Eric Javits – probably no coincidence, given Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” maxim. usually more on European fashion houses, including Dior or Saint Laurent. Some leading US designers have spoken out against dressing Melania in the past. Your stylist therefore often buys pieces in retail stores.

The Trumps were also received in this look by outgoing US President Joe Biden (82) and his wife, Jill Biden (73), at the White House. The Bidens have now published what is probably their last selfie from the government headquarters. the recording was shared. It read: “Another selfie for the journey. We love you, America.”
