While President-elect Donald Trump is being sworn into office on Monday, many eyes will be on the first lady's outfit, which was curated by two American designers: Adam Lippes and Eric Javits.
Melania Trump, a former model, has been known to make lavish outfit choices over the years, utilizing pieces from some of the world's biggest fashion houses.
Monday was no exception. Melania Trump stepped out in a custom Adam Lippes double-breasted navy silk wool coat as she was on her way to a service at St. John's Church on Inauguration Day. Underneath her coat, she wore a navy silk wool pencil skirt and an ivory silk crepe blouse, all of which were designed by Lippes and hand-sewn in New York City.
With it, she wore a matching boater hat designed by Eric Javits.

"Mrs. Trump’s outfit was created by some of America’s finest craftsmen and I take great pride in showing such work to the world."

According to Style, Melania Trump has leaned on French-American fashion and costume designer Hervé Pierre to help create her outfits. However, he has said that he isn't her stylist, but an adviser.
He previously told Vogue in an interview that Melania Trump is "adamant" that he is seen as an adviser.
"Who, as a free woman, is going to be told what to wear? It’s a conversation, a collaboration. Without intellectualizing, my advice is respectful and it makes sense," Pierre told Vogue.
