Melania Trump’s hat briefly stole the show at her husband’s inauguration on Monday, with its wide, face-shielding brim that seemed to prevent him from kissing her.

Jimmy Fallon greeted “Tonight Show” viewers in his own version of the hat, saying, “After this, we’re going to play Who Wore It Better: Me, Melania, or the Hamburglar.”

“People weren’t sure if she was there for the inauguration or to kill Indiana Jones.” — JIMMY FALLON

“That’s not just a hat; it’s Melania’s very own border wall.” — JIMMY FALLON

“All day long, Trump kept cutting into the hat, hoping it was cake.” — JIMMY FALLON

“Trump actually got involved in Melania’s outfit for the ceremony. A lot of people are talking about it — he told her he thought it would be super hot if she dressed like a goth Al Capone, and so she did.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“Melania Trump made a real statement with her look. That statement: ‘I am Carmen Sandiego.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“She also looks like the guy from ‘Spy vs. Spy.’ And I know what some of you’re are saying: ‘This is the first lady we’re talking about — shouldn’t you say she looks like J. Robert Oppenheimer?’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“Meanwhile, many dignitaries went not only hatless but hairless, with a plethora of stocky, bald billionaires who all seemed to go to the same biohack life extension clinic and say, ‘Give me the Lex Luthor.’” — JON STEWART

“Yes, taking the place of seats normally reserved for Democratic or Republican governors sat Zuck, Bezos, Tim Cook, Elon, TikTok guy, Google guy — the six guys who control maybe 20 percent of the world’s wealth and 100 percent of your nudes.” — JON STEWART

“Even Mike Pence showed up, I guess to let the crowd finish the job.” — JON STEWART

“The award for best dressed at today’s inauguration — let’s go back to that — went to Senator John Fetterman, who looked like his mom interrupted his Fortnite game and forced him to come downstairs.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“Fetterman! Really? Shorts? It’s not even an inaugural decorum thing. It’s [expletive] freezing out there. It’s a health concern.” — JON STEWART
