Melania Trump’s striking hat choice during her second state visit to the United Kingdom has stirred conversation, with a body language expert suggesting it carried a deeper meaning.
On Wednesday, the First Lady joined President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle, where they were greeted by Prince William and Princess Catherine before meeting King Charles and Queen Camilla.
A Coordinated Look
Melania stepped out in a charcoal Christian Dior Haute Couture pencil skirt suit, paired with a dramatic, wide-brimmed dark purple wool hat from the same designer. Her accessory complemented Donald Trump’s tie, highlighting a coordinated appearance.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also matched, with Catherine in a wine-coloured Emilia Wickstead coat dress and William sporting a burgundy tie. Similarly, Charles and Camilla chose blue-toned outfits that echoed colours from the US flag, reflecting a theme of diplomatic “flag dressing.”
Expert Analysis of the Hat
Body language expert Judi James drew parallels between Melania’s hat and the one she wore at the 2017 inauguration.
“I’m fascinated to work out why Melania is wearing a similar shaped hat to the one she wore to the inauguration, which forms the shape of a large lid that completely hides her face,” she told the Daily Mail.
