The inauguration of Donald Trump as the new president of the United States was full of symbolic moments, political gestures, and also curious anecdotes. One of the most commented episodes occurred when Trump tried to kiss his wife, Melania, on the cheek during the ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda.
What caught everyone's attention is how this romantic gesture ended up hanging in the air due to the strange way Melania moved, leading many to think she was "dodging" her husband's kiss, while others attribute it to Melania's hat, which, unintentionally, stole the spotlight of the moment.
The awkward kiss between Melania and Donald Trump is causing a stir on social media.
Melania, known for her impeccable and reserved style, wore a sober and elegant outfit designed by Adam Lippes. She opted for a dark blue coat dress, black leather gloves, and a wide-brimmed hat in the same tone, with a white trim that created contrast.
This accessory not only stood out for its elegance, but also played an unexpected role in the awkward moment between the presidential couple. When Donald Trump entered the Capitol amid cheers and music, he approached his wife to give her a kiss on the cheek. However, Melania's hat wing made the gesture difficult, and the kiss remained suspended in the air.
She, maintaining her characteristic serene demeanor, made no attempt to adjust her hat or make the greeting easier. The moment was quickly captured by cameras and soon generated reactions on social media, dividing users who did not hesitate to create controversy about it.
