It was definitely British in appearance. Kate Middleton would be right at home wearing such a hat. However, I thought the brim was too flat; we did not get much chance to admire our First Lady. I think a very slightly upturned brim would have been better.
She wanted to see out, but didn’t want you to see in. Her prerogative.
We all admire her. I bet you she was concerned for her husband’s welfare, and her family’s.
She knows, more intimately than we do, what it would be like to be Jackie O. She was just arming herself emotionally.
My take. Don’t hold it against her.
I inferred that must have been her specific intent, during the bipartisan swearing-in.
Agree. She should not look like she is in the Witness Protection Program!
