With her eyes almost entirely obscured by the rim of her wool boater-style hat, Melania Trump stood behind U.S. president-elect Donald Trump on stage at the United States Capitol Rotunda as he pledged the oath of office.

Beneath the tailored coat was a silk wool pencil skirt and an ivory silk crepe blouse folded into a sharp neckline, all hand-sewn by Lippes’ team in New York. “The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy and today we had the honor to dress our first lady, Mrs. Melania Trump,” Lippes said in a statement. “Mrs. Trump’s outfit was created by some of America’s finest craftsmen and I take great pride in showing such work to the world.
She appeared elusive, with a slight combative edge to her ensemble — something that is not unusual for Trump. Throughout her first term as first lady from 2017 to 2021, Trump’s stylistic evolution came to include more structured, military-inspired dresses and skirt suits in khaki, navy and gray. Biden’s relaxed, tie-waist overcoat and blouse — both in the bipartisan color purple — was designed by Ralph Lauren. The storied U.S. label was credited with creating Trump’s 2017 powder blue inauguration look, which was heavily likened to Jackie Kennedy.Former First Lady Jill Biden's bipartisan purple outfit was from American designer Ralph Lauren.
Instead it was Usha Vance, wife of new Vice President JD Vance, who seemed to be taking cues from Kennedy. Vance was spotted in a custom Oscar de la Renta pastel pink cashmere coat dress — a hue that seems inextricable from Kennedy’s legacy, from the bubblegum pink Christian Dior gown she wore to receive the French minister of culture to the White House in 1962 to the Chanel suit worn the day her husband was assassinated.
