First Lady Melania Trump’s relationship with fashion – particularly American designers – seems poised to change as Donald Trump’s second term begins.

President Donald Trump poked fun at his wife, saying her feet hurt and her hat was going to blow away in a speech following his inauguration.

With her eyes almost entirely obscured by the rim of her wool boater-style hat, Melania Trump stood next to president-elect Donald Trump on stage at the inauguration ceremony as he pledged the oath of allegiance.

First Lady Melania Trump is wearing a silk wool Adam Lippes coat and skirt with an ivory blouse this morning at the 2025 inauguration, where her husband Donald Trump will become the 47th president of the United States.

For her inaugural debut in 2017 for Trump’s first presidency term, Melania donned a sky-blue custom Ralph Lauren ensemble with an up-do. She became the first foreign-born first lady in nearly two centuries. Last year, during his election victory speech, Trump praised Melania’s work ethic: "She's done a great job, works very hard to help people."

In 2017, Melania Trump wore a sky-blue cashmere jacket and mock turtleneck dress by Ralph Lauren, the brand that designed so many Hillary Clinton pantsuits, on Inauguration Day.

Melania Trump leaned into a patriotic color palette for husband Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on Monday. The former model wore a custom double-breasted navy coat by Adam Lippes and a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, both American designers, for the occasion.

As the world watches for the transition of power on Inauguration Day, the fashion industry eyes the ensembles of the first ladies.

President Donald Trump stopped by the Commander in Chief Ball, Liberty Ball and Starlight Ball, dancing to the same song at each of inaugural gala.
