As the dust settles following the presidential inauguration, First Lady Melania Trump finds herself at the center of attention once again—this time due to a body double conspiracy that has ignited public intrigue.
The inauguration, attended by high-ranking government officials, politicians, and a range of celebrities, saw Melania stealing the spotlight with her bold fashion choice.
The First Lady donned a custom double-breasted navy coat designed by Adam Lippes, paired with a striking boater hat by Eric Javits, crafted specifically for the occasion.
Her choice of outfit sparked speculation, with some interpreting it as a deliberate statement about her persona on this historic day, marking her husband’s second swearing-in as president.
“Makes her look hard. But maybe that’s what she wants to look like today, all business. Don’t mess with me kind of thing,” one person commented.
While many admired Melania’s fashion-forward statement, others mocked her clothing, and a group of conspiracy theorists took it further—claiming her attire was meant to conceal a body double.
According to proponents of this theory, the former Slovenian model left Donald Trump years ago, and he allegedly replaced her with a lookalike to attend significant events.
“That Bolero hat Melania is wearing won’t do much to dispel the rumors that she has a body double #TrumpInauguration2025,” one person wrote on X.
Another added, “Interesting outfit today. That hat is so low on her brow, you cannot see her face clearly. I honestly feel like that’s a body double and not the real Melania. Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump knew of threats to assassinate him and decided not to put her in harm’s way.”
Skeptics pointed out that the weather in Washington didn’t warrant a hat, further fueling speculation. “The Melania body double [is the] only person wearing a hat in DC today,” one user commented.
As expected, others dismissed the theory as pure nonsense.
“Bologna! There’s no Melania body double! Why would she miss all the fun??” one person argued.
“Are you seeing the BS that is going around saying that hat and outfit was hiding a body double for Melania? Insanity. The ears tell the story,” another added.
