Melania Trump’s stylist claims it’s difficult to dress her

Melania’s inauguration hat went viral

Melania got plenty of publicity for her outfit on Inauguration Day, not least her hat. It was designed by Eric Javits, who said in a statement that dressing Melania was one of the greatest honors of his career.

“My art background gave me an edge in bringing harmony and balance to the face by creating hat shapes that would flatter and enhance every kind of face,” Javits said in a statement. “In this specific case that was not difficult to do, in that Mrs. Trump is blessed with great bone structure, beauty and a wonderful sense of style.”

The hat made it hard to see Melania’s eyes, but even though it appeared to be sitting stabily, her husband had other ideas. When speaking in Emancipation Hall, Donald joked that her hat nearly blew away while standing beside a military helicopter.

“She almost blew away,” Trump said and laughed. “She was being elevated off the ground.”

In addition to the hat, Melania wore a navy silk wool coat with a navy skirt and an ivory silk crepe blouse created by American designer Adam Lippes. Later, for the Inaugural Ball, Melania changed her outfit, wearing a dress designed by Hérve Pierre Braillard, complimented with a black choker from jeweler Harry Winston.

“It was such an honor to create the dress for the First Lady Melania Trump tonight.. I can’t thank her enough… it was a wonderful project, a great collaboration… as always !!!!” Per Newsweek, Pierre wrote on Instagram, providing a sketch for the dress
