Melania Trump Becomes First Lady Again
Once again, Melania Trump is officially the First Lady of the United States. On Monday, January 20, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, and his wife was at his side for the entire day of ceremonies and celebrations.
Body Language Experts Weigh In on Melania’s Mood
While one body language expert branded Melania Trump “unhappy” during election night, things appeared to be different for the inauguration. Meanwhile, Melania’s outfit was in the spotlight and the subject of deep analysis, with one piece of clothing standing out.
The Hat That Stole the Spotlight
The First Lady wore a very special hat, which appeared to have a powerful message. And for that – on social media at least – Melania Trump was mocked.
Preparations for the White House Move
Donald and Melania have been preparing to move into the White House for months. On Monday, January 20, it finally happened as the former real estate mogul was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, beginning his second term as president. His wife and the rest of his family, including he and Melania’s son, Barron, were at his side the entire day. Because of the unusually cold weather, Trump took his oath of office inside the Capitol Rotunda.
Judi James on Donald and Melania’s Public Interaction
Speaking to the Mirror, body language expert Judi James noticed Donald spent much of the inauguration clutching his wife’s hand or, as she described, “taking it like some Regency gentleman, kissing her proffered cheek or even gazing at her as they danced together like a man in the throes of some romantic thrall.”
Melania’s Outfit Sends a Strong Message
The First Lady’s outfits are always likely to be a big talking point. For the inauguration, they were, of course, heavily scrutinized. According to Judi James, Melania’s outfit played a crucial part in sending a message about what kind of First Lady she would be.
Fashion Industry’s Reaction to Melania Trump
While Melania wore a stunning outfit, getting the exact one she perhaps wanted appears to have been quite tricky. Women’s Wear Daily contacted 16 designers to ask if they would dress Melania. However, Mrs. Trump, it appears, isn’t all that popular with designers.

One of those who has worked closely with Melania over the years is French designer Hervé Pierre. Speaking with Women’s Wear Daily, he explained that he hasn’t gotten a good answer about why some people won’t work with Melania.
Melania Trump’s Power Signals
Melania Trump’s “power signals” have increased, body language expert Judi James stated. She added that the First Lady’s warm smile showed “an air of relaxed confidence.”
Melania’s Neutral Body Language Compared to 2017
Melania has stated that she is much more prepared to enter the White House this time around. As a result, she will likely approach things differently – according to another body language expert, Inbaal Honigman, even her behavior was different at this inauguration compared to the one in 2017.
The Hat That Became a Talking Point
Yes, the hat. Melania wore her hat for the entire day, both inside and while walking outside, and it became the talk of the town. The hat was designed by Eric Javits, who said in a statement that dressing Melania was one of the greatest honors of his career.
Barron Trump’s Absence from the White House
Many things will differ for Donald and Melania during their second tenure at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. One major difference is that their son, Barron Trump, won’t live there. He began his studies at New York University last year. However, though he might not visit weekly, his mother told Fox that Barron is always welcome.
