The story behind Melania’s all-white ceremony look

First lady Melania Trump sported a dramatic white hat as she and her husband hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigiꦯtte Macron for 🍨a White House state visit Tuesday morning.

Not since Pharrell Williams wore a 10-gallon hat to the 2014 Grammys has a chapeau crღeꦆated so many waves on social media.

Some said Melania was , while compared the look to Beyoncé’s oversized, black “Formation” hat: “Is Melania about to drop her OWN version of Lemonade?”

Despite drawing both raveꦰs and roasts, Melania’s ensemble was decidedly chic — and pri▨cey.

Designer Hervé Pierre, who designed Melania’s inauguration gown, created her statement-making topper. Her $2,195 suit with a belted asymmetrical blazer is by Michael Kors Collection.

Perhaps in a nod to her Gallic guests, her $745, 4.7-inch heels were from celebrity favorite French shoe designer Christian Lo🐭uboutin.

The French first lady also donned white,🌠 but she opte🔯d for a less fashion-forward look, with a shift dress and smart jacket.

White is a favorite color of the first lady’s. She wore a Dior jumpsu🃏ജit of the same hue to the State of the Union address.
