Inauguration 2025: Why Melania Trump’s Statement Hat Almost Didn’t Get Worn

However, the designer was able to produce a brand new one that was taken back to Melania by her trusted stylist Hervé Pierre, who was in Florida at the time. Eric added, “He had a driver, and Herve took it back to her by hand to minimize any other disasters that could possibly happen.”

Following the handoff, the hat remained out of sight until she arrived at the White House, where she and Donald greeted President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.

Eric revealed, “No other hands touched, nor did any other eyes see the hat, prior to Herve and the first lady receiving it.”
