FASHION: See These Key Players’ Inauguration Looks
The Friday marked the end of Barack Obama's presidency and the beginning of Donald Trump's.
The weeks leading up to the event were fraught with controversy, from
figuring out the performances at the inauguration concert, to which
politicians would (and would not) attend.
But despite the drama, the most powerful people in the nation
gathered together dressed in their very best to honor the incoming
president. We rounded up the most noteworthy fashion looks from
Inauguration Day:
The first lady wore a powder blue dress designed by Ralph Lauren, according to USA Today.
Some are making comparisons between her outfit and that worn by former
first lady Jacqueline Kennedy at the 1961 inauguration of her husband,
President Kennedy.
There was chatter leading up to the inauguration over who would dress Melania Trump after designers began to protest the new administration.
The always-stylish fomer first lady Michelle Obama
wore a red printed A-line dress with a black belt and pumps. Later at
the Inauguration ceremony, she was seen wearing a red coat matching the
print of her dress.
The businesswoman and new first daughter wore
a striking asymmetrical white coat over white pants and black pumps.
The outfit is reminiscent of what she wore to vote on Election Day.
The outfit raised eyebrows at the time, since Hillary supporters were
also wearing white to vote—a gesture symbolic of the suffragist
movement, according to Fortune.
Ivanka's half-sister Tiffany (who is the
daughter of Donald Trump and his second wife, Marla Maples) echoed her
sister with a white coat, which she paired with spike-heeled black
booties.
Donald Trump's campaign manager (who is
notoriously patriotic) wore a red, white, and blue Gucci coat with a red
bucket hat and red gloves, according to US Weekly. She described her look as "Trump revolutionary wear," to NBC Bay Area.
The former senator and first lady Hillary
Clinton attended the inauguration of her bitter rival, despite the
brutal tensions between her and Donald Trump during the election. She
echoed her look from her acceptance speech at the Democratic National
Convention and donned a white pantsuit. She tweeted upon
her arrival, "I'm here today to honor our democracy & its enduring
values. I will never stop believing in our country & its future.
