At least everyone can agree that\u00a0Melania Trump<\/a><\/span>‘s hat didn’t become the stand-out star of the presidential inauguration by accident.<\/p>\n

Fashion experts and biographers alike concurred that the ex-model and renowned clothes horse, a woman who clearly puts a lot of thought into her outfits, wore the elegant if rather severe,\u00a0navy headwear\u00a0<\/a><\/span>to make a bold statement.<\/p>\n

What that statement was, however, was subject to wide interpretation.<\/p>\n

When\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a><\/span>\u00a0repeatedly experienced difficulty navigating its wide brim to plant a kiss on his First Lady’s face, his critics were quick to suggest that she’d intentionally worn it to stop him from coming anywhere near her.<\/p>\n

Even its designer, celebrity hatter Eric Javits, fueled such speculation by noting that ‘going back to Victorian times, a brim sort of defined a woman’s space’. Indeed, the brim was so broad it cast much of her face in shadow.<\/p>\n

For those who continue to insist that Mrs Trump is not only trapped in a loveless marriage but disagrees fundamentally with her husband’s career, this was clear proof that she was concealing her emotions and distancing herself from the event.<\/p>\n

Others who claim to know Melania better, however, countered that the hat signified something entirely different – namely a\u00a0new-found self-confidence<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mrs Trump wore a far more feminine and crowd-pleasing pale blue\u00a0Ralph Lauren outfit<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for the 2017 inauguration. This time, said people like her biographer Kate Bennett, the look was far more assured. Mrs Trump didn’t feel she needed to please anyone.<\/p>\n

Mrs Trump wore a far more feminine and crowd-pleasing pale blue Ralph Lauren outfit for the 2017 inauguration.<\/p>\n

In fact, having just celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary on Wednesday, the truth, say those in the know, is that the couple understands each other better than ever.<\/p>\n

‘He knows that his wife has a look and he’s not going to mess with it,’ Bennett explained of Trump’s decision in the Capitol to blow Melania an air kiss after an earlier attempt to get past that brim.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the president posted to his social media accounts \u2013 both personal and now-official \u2013 recognizing the couple’s china anniversary, writing: ‘Celebrating 20 years with my beautiful wife and our incredible First Lady, Melania. You’re an extraordinary wife and a wonderful mother.’ And Trump also shared pictures of the smiling couple at their $2.5 million wedding, held on January 22, 2005, at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea near Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n

Certainly, those still convinced that Melania’s hat was a metaphor for the dark heart of the Trump marriage should have watched other moments on the inauguration day and they would have seen evidence that the Trumps hardly seem estranged.<\/p>\n

For instance, as the couple waved off Joe and Jill Biden on their helicopter ride out of Washington, it was 54-year-old Melania – notorious for being filmed swatting Donald away when he’s tried to hold hands – who reached out and took her husband’s hand.<\/p>\n

And if Melania’s hat were a point of contention, neither Donald nor the First Lady let on. The President joked to supporters after sending off the Bidens: ‘We went out to the helicopter just prior to this and said goodbye as custom, and the wind is blowing like crazy, and with the hat that she’s wearing, she almost blew away, We almost lost her. She was being elevated off the ground.’<\/p>\n

Melania looked on \u2013 smiling serenely.<\/p>\n

Later, at the Commander-in-Chief ball, they exchanged a joke on the dancefloor and her face was again wreathed in smiles as she watched her husband use a saber to cut a celebratory cake. After Donald finished doing that, Melania even joined him for a bit of unscheduled dancing to the Village People’s YMCA.<\/p>\n
