Fashion was front and center at Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration.
With first lady Melania Trump, former first lady Jill Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris in attendance, Monday’s festivities featured a slew of well-dressed figures ready to make a statement. From a wide-brimmed hat and blush pink getup to Democratic blue and bipartisan purple, here are the most memorable looks from Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.
