OFFICIAL WELCOME FROM KING CHARLES
The welcome ceremony held here took place in a very grand atmosphere, in accordance with British customs. The ceremony, personally hosted by King Charles, also brought diplomatic expectations regarding the relations between the two countries. During the visit, it is anticipated that Trump will also engage with members of the Royal Family.
MELANIA TRUMP'S HAT CAUGHT ATTENTION AT THE CEREMONY
During the ceremony, another topic that attracted as much attention as the protocol was Melania Trump's choice of outfit. The First Lady drew attention with her wide-brimmed purple hat, which almost completely shaded her face.
A SILENT BUT MEANINGFUL MESSAGE
According to fashion writer and style consultant Marian Kwei, this choice is not just a style detail but also carries a strong message. Kwei stated, "Melania's hat is not a coincidence," adding, "This hat is a conscious choice stemming from her desire for the spotlight to be directed towards her."
COLOR COORDINATION IS NOT A COINCIDENCE
It did not go unnoticed that Melania's hat was the exact same color as Donald Trump's tie. Style experts interpreted this harmony as a symbol of the First Lady's support for her husband's political agenda.
ROYAL WOMEN COMPETED IN ELEGANCE
Queen Camilla and Princess Kate Middleton, who welcomed the Trump couple, also drew attention with their elegant appearances. Queen Camilla opted for a dress in sapphire tones and a hat designed by Philip Treacy, while Princess Kate showcased a classic striped dress by Emilia Wickstead and a hat designed by Jane Taylor.
HE HAD PREVIOUSLY MADE HEADLINES WITH A SIMILAR HAT
On the other hand, the First Lady's choice of hat also brought to mind President Trump's inauguration ceremony. On the day Trump began his presidential term, Melania had also made headlines in the fashion world with a similar hat.
