The outfit of Melania Trump, the wife of the new U.S. President Donald Trump, at the inauguration ceremony on January 20 was met with great interest.

Axar.az reports, citing CBS, that Melania’s unusual hat, designed by the famous designer Eric Javits, caught the attention of many across the world.

He credits the first lady for helping to make the now viral hat a focal point.

"I sort of feel like it wasn't really a 'wow' hat. It was very understated, very elegant and appropriate, but when she put it on, and I had never seen her wearing it before because I never had direct contact with her in person or anything, so I really felt that her presence and her grace and beauty really brought the whole thing alive," he said.

The designer also responded lightheartedly to the jokes made about the hat and some said it made it difficult for Mr. Trump to kiss Melania.

"Going back to Victorian times, a brim sort of defined a woman's space, and of course, it's not convenient to have brims colliding and sometimes you see two women in a brim trying to greet each other with an air kiss or something," Javits said.
