Melania Trump is know for her signature loose wavy hairstyle, but she chose to switch things up for Inauguration Day.

Spotted leaving Blair House with her husband, President Donald Trump, FLOTUS was wearing a monochromatic powder blue ensemble with matching gloves and shoes. To complete the look, her usually long and flowing brunette hair was side-swept and pulled back into an elegant updo.

Regarding Trump’s perfect hair throughout the years, her longtime hairstylist Mordechai Alvow said, “For the first lady’s Capitol Hill engagements, I wanted to achieve a superchic look to work with the silhouette of the sky blue Ralph Lauren set. The outfit had beautiful tailoring, including a superhigh collar that is great for her long neck, and a 1950s feel was modernized with a touch of origami shapes. It was important to make sure her hair did not interfere with the clean lines and monochrome color, so we decided to put her hair up, which also allowed her amazing bone structure to take center stage.”

He then stuck to her go-to styling trick, allowing Trump to “use her hands to add a personal touch” before giving it one last spray of YAROK Feed Your Hold medium hold hairspray.

Perhaps suggesting that the upcoming first lady could be moving into a new hair direction, Alvow previously told Yahoo Beauty, “Once you’re an established public figure and people know who you are and what you stand for, then I think you can change things up more.”

Or Trump could have possibly chosen to just go with a weatherproof hairstyle since the forecast called for rain during the inauguration festivities. Keeping her hair up will most likely help the Slovenian-born fashion model look photo-ready, heavy winds or not.
