The hidden message of Melania Trump’s hat

When the presidential couple arrived at Windsor Castle, William and Kate were present to greet them before they were escorted to the castle, where King Charles and Queen Camilla were waiting.

Melania wore a timeless gray suit from Dior upon arrival, but it was her hat that stole the show.

She donned a wide-brimmed purple hat that hid her eyes in many situations. The hat brought back memories of the one that attracted a lot of attention at Donald Trump’s inauguration. It got in the way when the president wanted to kiss her. This awkward interaction subsequently went viral on the internet.

Melania once again donned a wide-brimmed hat for the first part of her and Donald’s state visit, and once against it has attracted a lot of attention. Stylist and Vogue employee Marian Kwei has no doubt: the hat is no coincidence.

“The wide-brimmed hat that hides her face points to an attitude where she wants all eyes to be on her husband and his agenda while they are here,” Marian Kwei told the BBC.

The color of the hat emphasizes this fact. Although the American president is known for his red ties, he chose to forego one for the state visit. Instead, he wore a purple tie in the same shade as his wife’s hat.
