Favourite Fashion Moments From The Biden-Harris Inauguration
On Wednesday, the world celebrated the Biden-Harris inauguration that highlighted unity over partisan politics. Despite the Capitol Hill attack that spiked the nation, the presidency transformation from Donald J Trump to Joseph R Biden was indeed a successful one. Everyone dressed elegantly for the historic event including Dr Jill Biden in Alexandra O’Neill, Kamala Harris in Christopher John Rogers and Michelle Obama in Sergio Hudson.
America’s 46th President wore a Ralph Lauren navy-blue suit and powder-blue necktie while his wife, Dr Jill Biden looked stunning in a teal wool-tweed dress with a Swarovski-crystal embroidered collar. The elegant ensemble was made-to-order by Alexandra O’Neill, founder of the emerging New York Brand Markarian. Why blue colour? It signifies confidence, trust and stability.
Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States’ purple outfit, made a poignant statement on that day. Designed by an upcoming designer Christopher John Rogers, she perfected the look with a pearl necklace and classic Manolo Blahnik BB pumps. Beautiful!

The long-sleeved gown, reportedly Schiaparelli, featured a fitted navy drop-waist bodice with a demure mock neck collar, a look completed with a voluminous scarlet skirt that ensured she kept her Covid-friendly distance.
“My intention is to acknowledge our past, be healing for our present, and passionate for a future where we work together lovingly. I will sing to the hearts of all people who live on this land,” Gaga tweeted ahead of her performance.”

Following Gaga’s performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Jennifer Lopez took the stage, performing Woody Guthrie’s classic “This Land Is Your Land”, a tune with socialist leanings the folk legend is said to have written in response to the more nationalistic “God Bless America.”
Bronx-raised with Puerto Rican roots, Lopez finished with “America The Beautiful”, adding in a line of Spanish: “Siempre con libertad y justicia para todos” (“Liberty and justice for all, always”).
Sporting a white pantsuit ensemble with a lace ruffle collar, reportedly Chanel, Lopez also shouted “Let’s get loud!” during her performance, a nod to her turn-of-the-millennium signature hit, delighting social media. To complete her look, she styled a pair of Jimmy Choo’s beautiful white shoes.
