As the world watches for the transition of power on Inauguration Day, the fashion industry eyes the ensembles of the first ladies.

Melania Trump and Jill Biden both wore outfits by American designers to Donald Trump's inauguration.

The returning first lady and Barron Trump, the son she had once shielded from the public eye, used Monday’s inauguration to reintroduce themselves.

With her eyes almost entirely obscured by the rim of her wool boater-style hat, Melania Trump stood next to president-elect Donald Trump on stage at the inauguration ceremony as he pledged the oath of allegiance.

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.

How tall is Barron Trump? On Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 2025, Donald and Melania's son noticeably stood out with his 6-foot-9 (or 6-foot-7) stature.

Donald Trump’s increasingly close relationship with tech leaders has been noted for weeks now. They’ve donated millions to his inauguration fund, taken trips to the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago resort and, in the case of Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, altered Facebook’s moderation policies to accommodate conservative concerns.

Biden told his staff that even though they may feel “knocked down” by the turn of events, what was important was how quickly they get back up.

Update 9:27 a.m. ET, Jan. 20: Today is not only Inauguration Day but it is also a federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But the work of Washington will continue. Several confirmation votes and meetings are scheduled to be held today.
