Melania’s Inaugural Hat Trick
Saturday, January 25th, 2025On January 20th, if you weren’t on a safari or a space mission, you probably saw (and was possibly been a bit taken aback by) the former-and-new first lady’s unusual wide-brimmed gaucho-style chapeau, which concealed half of her face, including her usually half-mast eyes, and barricaded everyone from getting remotely near her. In the event you’re wondering why Mrs. Trump would wear such unusual headgear, here are some possible explanations:
To hide the gloom in her eyes for having to spend the day in D.C.
To block off Donald from kissing her.
To prevent people from seeing her eyes when she rolled them at one of her husband’s ridiculous statements or falling asleep during one of his long, boring tirades.
To garner investor interest in her producing and starring in a daughter of Zorro movie.
To hide her mascara possibly running at the tearful thought of spending four more years as first lady.
To one-up Anna Wintour’s sunglasses with a better standoffish look (especially since Wintour never put her on the cover of Vogue when she was first lady).
To protect her and up to two family members from falling snow.
To keep her long-time rival Jill Biden, during the Inaugural Day get-together, at hat’s length.
To overshadow Jackie Kennedy, thinking that if she could famously wear an inaugural hat that resembles a pill-box, I can go a step further and wear one that resembles an actual hat box.
To trick people into thinking it was her when it was really a double (yes, she hates D.C. that much).
