“Why is Melania standing there like a fashionable grim reaper?” one user asked. Another admitted: “I didn’t even realise it was a person until I spotted the hands!”
Others said they thought she looked like a lamp, a coat rack, or even “a robot in off-mode.” Another popular comparison saw her likened to Beyoncé in her Formation video — a nod to Melania’s known love of oversized hats.
“It took me a minute to see her,” one commenter confessed, while another joked she resembled “three raccoons in a trench coat.”
The general verdict? “Actually hilarious how ridiculous this looks,” as one Reddit user summed it up.
Melania’s Day with the Royals
Away from the viral moment, Melania spent the morning with Queen Camilla touring Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House at Windsor. Later, she joined Princess Kate for an outdoor engagement with a group of Squirrel Scouts, aged four to five, who were working toward their “Go Wild” badges.
The children were treated to packed lunches prepared with honey from Kate’s Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. Melania, in turn, handed out jars of White House honey — a sweet ending to a day that had already delivered an internet sensation.
