ORtoday January 20, 2025 Donald Trump becomes the 47th President of the United States. And the inauguration ceremony, the so-called Inauguration Day, is not just an event that will end up in the history books. The arrivals, the official ceremony, the photos in front of the White House: moments to remember, which immortalize the politicians who flocked to the Tycoon’s election. There are two questions: who was there? And what did he wear?
If Michelle Obama defected as promised, Among the women present, not only the new First Lady Melania Trump stood out, but also the outgoing one, Jill Biden. Two very different looks, with a very similar detail, for the most visible couple in the spotlight, in fashion, at least. Among the most elegant female personalities, “our” Giorgia Meloni also stands out. And then Ivanka Trump, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton: here are all the outfits of the President’s women.
Melania Trump and Jill Biden, style battle between First Lady
They entered and left the White House together. A passing of the baton occurred today at Donald Trump’s inauguration between Melania and Jill Biden, new and former First Lady. The change of pace is already visible also in terms of style: Melania Trump’s outfita blue and ivory outfit, consisting of coat, shirt and skirt. Signed by the ensemblethe American brand based in New York Adam Lippes. The matching wide-brimmed hat is signed Eric Javits. Donald’s wife completed the look with black leather gloves. Rigorous, but glamorous: an outfit that echoes those we usually see among the emblazoned women of the Royal Houses.
For her part, the outgoing First Lady, Jill Biden, opted for a more classic lookat least in the cut. Knee-length cobalt coat with belt at the waist and matching pumps, the ensemble is all designer Ralph Laurenthe king of made in USA fashion. The detail that unites them? The use of gloves, in black leather for Melania Trump, in the same color for Jill Biden. We remember that already for her husband’s inauguration in 2021 she had opted for a blue dress (in a shade of baby blue) and a matching overcoat (by Markarian). In 2017, however, Melania wore a powder-colored coat and dress by Ralph Lauren: passing of the baton?

Giorgia Meloni also made an impression. The President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic flew to Capitol Hill with a midnight blue velvet-effect blazer characterized by contrasting jewel buttons. An elegant outfit to celebrate the success of the American friend and political partner. Never over the top, Kamala Harris toothe outgoing vice president, in a black suit and Hermès scarf black and white, side by side with her husband Doug Emhoff.
From Meta and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, up to Elon Musk. The men present at the inauguration, for their part, swore loyalty to Trump in their own way by copying his favorite accessory, the red tie. None, however, of the same shade: almost as if to underline that there is only one president…
