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.
“The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy and today we had the honor to dress our first lady, Mrs. Melania Trump,” said Lippes in a statement. “Mrs. Trump’s outfit was created by some of America’s finest craftsmen and I take great pride in showing such work to the world.”
Mrs. Trump, who is from Slovenia, is only the second immigrant to serve as First Lady in the history of the US. (The London-born Louisa Adams, wife of President John Quincy Adams was the first.) Though she donned mostly European labels during her husband’s first term—Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen were two of her favorites—and throughout much of his recent campaign, choosing Christian Dior on election night, the choice of Lippes feels particularly pointed. Much of the most recent Trump campaign was focused on reinforcing the American economy. The New York-born and based designer’s eponymous label is an independent business just over a decade old, a markedly different choice from American fashion behemoth Ralph Lauren, who outfitted the First Lady for the 2017 inauguration. Here, Mrs. Trump seems to be underscoring those efforts as opposed to the mixed messaging sent during her husband’s first term. He would preach in favor of buying American and her wardrobe would tell a different story.
