Jill Biden: Before the ceremony, Jill Biden appeared in front of the White House looking stunning in a stylish, monochromatic royal purple outfit. She accessorised with purple suede high heels, a Ralph Lauren wrap coat, and a matching dress underneath.
Tiffany Trump: When Tiffany Trump and her family arrived at Church, she chose to wear a sophisticated, floor-length black velvet coat with a long skirt. She was dressed in a pair of edgy black boots with high heels that appeared to be Christian Louboutin, since they had traditional red bottoms. Tiffany, who is going to give birth to her first child with Michael Boulos, wore sparkling makeup, including strong lashes, and glamorous curly hair with little jewelry.
Usha Vance: Usha Vance, thesecond lady of the United States, looked stunning in an Oscar de la Renta-designed light pink cashmere coat with playful neckline and waist embellishments.

Best dressed guests at Trump's inauguration
Kamala Harris: At the inaugural ceremony, Kamala Harris wore a simple, elegant black coat with silver zippering and black pants. She accessorized the basic ensemble with pale pink nail polish, natural makeup, and a pair of black pearl earrings. She was among the handful who chose to wear slacks for the formal event rather than a dress or skirt.
Doug Emhoff: Doug Emhoff chose to dress casually, wearing a gray coat and an unfastened light gray scarf. In spite of the cold, his coat was not buttoned up, and his trousers looked a little rumpled. Harris's husband completed the ensemble with a pair of lace-up black loafers and black leather gloves lined with fleece.
Ivanka Trump: Ivanka Trump wore an emerald-green outfit with a pencil skirt and blazer top that was severely tightened. The wrap jacket had a thin black leather belt that tightened the waist and gave the body structure. An asymmetrical aspect was also present, with the right-side lapel cascading down in a waterfall fashion. Her matching green hat and Dior purse, which looked to be the $5,900 Lady Dior purse in Black Cannage Grained Calfskin with gold embellishments, completed the ensemble.
Lauren Sanchez: Wearing a tight, winter-white blazer that exposed her white lace bra, Lauren Sanchez, who accompanied her fiancé, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, had a wardrobe disaster on the event. Sánchez chose white slacks to finish the matched ensemble.
John Fetterman: John Fetterman, a senator from Pennsylvania, attended the ceremony wearing gym shoes, a black hoodie, and gray athletic shorts. His legs were spread out in front of him as he sat in the front row during the ceremony.
