Nearly every member of President Donald Trump’s family circle was in attendance for the ceremonies and events around his inauguration as 47th president of the United States, and that includes his in-laws.

The inaugural hat was like nothing so much as the broad-brimmed white hat Mrs. Trump wore during a state visit by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife in 2018, which likewise made waves and which she auctioned off in 2022 as an “iconic broad-brimmed one-of-a-kind hat.” Her reference was herself.

Melania Trump's hat at the inauguration has people wondering why she wore it, while others have a few ideas behind her hats in general.
