On January 20, the day of Donald Trump's inauguration in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC, netizens spotted a monochromatic fashion aesthetic from Melania Trump and Usha Vance. The First Lady's and the Second Lady's outfits of the day were widely discussed, as many praised their style. Both women's fashion choices were seen as elegant and sophisticated, setting the tone for the day's events.
First Lady of the United States of America, Melania Trump
At the first inaugural ball, Melania wore a full-length gown with a thick black ribbon-like stripe. This unique design was paired with a choker.
The inky squiggle may readily remind observers, from a distance, of the signature Melania's husband had previously placed on a series of executive orders.
Donald Trump wore a traditional tuxedo that mirrored her black-and-white style.
Second Lady of the United States of America, Usha Vance
Usha Vance is an attorney and the wife of Vice President-elect JD Vance. The 39-year-old wore a sapphire blue off-the-shoulder dress for the Inaugural ball. This linear gown was designed by Reem Acra, a lebanese designer most popular for her bridal designs.
Netizens react to the looks
Fashion magazine Vogue posted the looks on Instagram with the following caption:
"To cap off the 2025 Inauguration, First Lady Melania Trump wore a design by Hervé Pierre and Second Lady Usha Vance stepped out in a strapless navy blue sequin gown for this evening’s three inaugural balls."
Most of the netizens were excited to see such fashion statements given by the First and Second Ladies.
