As the dust settles after the inauguration, First Lady Melania Trump has sparked public intrigue with a body-double conspiracy surrounding her appearance at the event.

Melania stole the spotlight with her bold outfit: a custom navy double-breasted coat by Adam Lippes paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits. Some praised her fashion as assertive and business-like, while others mocked her choice. However, a segment of the public fueled rumors that Melania was replaced by a body double.

The conspiracy claims the former model left Donald Trump years ago and was replaced for public appearances. Theories were fueled by her hat, which obscured her face, and the fact that Washington’s weather didn’t necessitate headwear. Social media buzzed with comments like, “That hat won’t dispel body double rumors” and “The only person wearing a hat today—suspicious.”

Skeptics dismissed the theory as nonsense. “Why would she miss the fun?” one user quipped, while another added, “The ears tell the story—it’s clearly her.” Despite the debate, Melania remains a focal point of attention.
