00:00With the hat that she's wearing, she almost blew away.
00:03Melania Trump makes a bold fashion statement with her hat at the 2025 inauguration.
00:08The first lady dressed to impress as her husband Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States at the 2025 presidential inauguration on January 20th.
00:18For the occasion, Melania arrived in an Adam Lippis custom double-breasted navy blue silk wool coat and matching pencil skirt.
00:26She topped off the look with a wide-brimmed voter hat featuring a simple white band by Eric Javits.
00:31As for what her husband Donald Trump thinks of her hat, he said during his speech at the Emancipation Hall.
00:36I mean the wind is blowing like crazy and with the hat that she's wearing, she almost blew away.
00:41We almost lost her.
00:45She was being elevated off the ground.
00:48She almost blew away.
00:49No, so we all appreciate it because you have been a great first lady, a beautiful and a great person.
00:57As for how this fashionable moment came together, Adam Lippis shared in a statement January 20th ahead of the ceremony.
01:03The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy.
01:07And today we had the honor to dress our first lady, Mrs. Melania Trump.
01:11Mrs. Trump's outfit was created by some of America's finest craftsmen.
01:15And I take great pride in showing such work to the world.
01:18Meanwhile, Eric revealed that the 54-year-old's bold accessory had a major mishap while being shipped from Miami to New York last month.
01:25He told Woman's Wear Daily in an interview published January 20th.
01:28I guess the hat arrived all crushed.
01:30It looked like it had been sitting in snowdrifts for about a week.
01:33Obviously, I had to scramble to redo it.
01:35It couldn't really be repaired because of the construction of it.
01:38As he put it, it was a little bit of a cliffhanger.
01:41However, the designer was able to produce a brand new one that was taken back to Melania by her trusted stylist, Hervé Pierre, who was in Florida at the time.
01:48Eric added, he had a driver and Hervé took it back to her by hand to minimize any other disasters that could possibly happen.
01:55Following the handoff, the hat remained out of sight until she arrived at the White House, where she and Donald greeted President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.
02:04Eric revealed, no other hands touched nor did any other eyes see the hat prior to Hervé and the First Lady receiving it.
02:11As Melania arrived at the inauguration, the internet started to draw parallels between her hat and Carmen Sandiego's iconic accessory and trench coat.
02:20As one user wrote on X, I found where in the world Carmen Sandiego is.
02:24Another wrote, Carmen Sandiego was at the White House this whole time.
02:28And another added, great news, they found Carmen Sandiego.
