Melania Trump’s recent inauguration day outfit has sparked significant online attention, with many comparing her bold look to Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” era. She wore a navy coat with a matching flat-brimmed hat featuring an ivory stripe. Some social media users humorously speculated whether it hinted at Donald Trump being a “smooth criminal,” while others praised the ensemble for its elegance and pop culture nostalgia. Fashion experts noted her shift to an “all-American ensemble” by Adam Lippes, diverging from her usual European designers. Melania’s past looks, including her 2017 Ralph Lauren outfit, have drawn comparisons to iconic figures like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Donald Trump’s choice of a purple tie instead of his usual red also turned heads.
