Sports radio legend Mike Francesa suggested Wednesday that he was thrilled with first lady Melania Trump’s inauguration style, but he didn’t like one aspect of her outfit.
Trump wore a dark navy coat and hat with a white stripe, dark navy heels and black gloves as she and President Donald Trump attended a service in St. John’s Episcopal Church before arriving for the dedication festivities.

Francesa was not a fan of Melania’s hat.
“Melania is amazing. She has amazing clothes. She’s a beautiful woman. I didn’t like her hat,” he said on his podcast. “And I tend to like hats, on women, especially on one as stylish as she is. I didn’t like her hat at all. It was very strange. I just didn’t like her hat.”
The president even had a hard time handling his wife’s hat. As they entered the Capitol Rotunda, he was seen trying to plant a kiss on her cheek, but the hat seemed to slightly block his attempt.

Either way, Trump’s second term as president was gone from there.
Earlier Wednesday, the President and First Lady celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.
In 2005, long before real estate developer Trump became the 45th and now the 47th president of the United States, he married his fiancee, model Melania Knauss, in a 350-guest wedding ceremony at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-By-the-Sea in Palm Beach , Florida. The couple met in 1998 at a party in New York City.
The luxurious wedding was described at the time as fit for royalty – from the spectacular dress worn by Melania Trump to the immaculately decorated reception at Trump’s private club.

The future first lady wore a $100,000 Christian Dior wedding dress. It consisted of a 13-foot train and a 16-foot veil covered in pearls, which reportedly took over 500 hours of hand sewing to create, according to published accounts of the event in The Palm Beach Post and The Palm Beach Daily News at the time.
