Donald Trump’s niece couldn’t hold back her laughter at Melania Trump’s wide-brimmed hat at Monday’s inauguration.

Mary Trump reacted to some of the biggest parts of the ceremony, including what she referred to as “one of the most important things to happen today”–Melania’s viral black and white hat. The first lady wore a structured navy coat accessorized with black gloves, a crisp white shirt and a navy-blue wide-brimmed hat accompanied by a white stripe.

“Some people said she looked like the Hamburglar, some people said she looked like the Pizza Hut logo,” Trump said, giggling. “I think she looked like the Pizza Hut logo...anyway, she looked ridiculous.” Trump’s response echoed similar sentiments from The Daily Show.

In a prior video, the 59-year-old Trump held a poll on what the new first lady looked like the most, comparing her to the iconic McDonald’s character and restaurant logo. The audience poll ended up with Hamburglar winning at 82%, echoing other sentiments online.

“The brim is so wide, Donald can’t get anywhere near her face,” Trump said, calling the styling choice “intentional.” The hat did end up stopping Trump from giving her kiss on the cheek after he was sworn in.

Although some trolled Melania online, others appreciated the style choice. Kim Kardashian seemingly nodded at her inaugural outfit, posting a photo of the new first lady on her Instagram story, without a caption.
