‘Classic and Chic’: Fans Gush Over the ‘Best Dressed’ Lady at Donald Trump’s Inauguration – Photos
Apart from a key character who dazzled online users with her highly acclaimed dress at Donald Trump’s inauguration, other distinguished women showed up at the occasion wearing striking attire.
Donald Trump was sworn in for the second time in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2025, making him the 47th president of the United States. Among the well-dressed and affluent attendees, one First Lady in particular received swoon-worthy praise from social media fans, who dubbed her the best dressed.
Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS), was the public person that stole the show at the inaugural. She looked sophisticated and classic in her double-breasted navy coat with crisp lapels and a structured design.
Melania accessorized her look with gloves and black closed-toe heels. A striking, wide-brimmed navy hat with a white band completed her ensemble, giving her image a contemporary yet timeless touch.
Adam Lippes, the designer of her gorgeous ensemble, posted an emotional Instagram boast about his masterpiece.
“The presidential inauguration tradition embodies the beauty of American democracy, and today we had the honor to dress our First Lady, Mrs. Melania Trump,” Adam said with a picture of Melania standing next to a uniformed soldier. Some of America’s best artisans made Mrs. Trump’s ensemble, and I’m proud to display their work to the world.”
Melania’s eye-catching hat, created by Eric Javits, was equally impressive. He expressed his excitement on Instagram with a rotating collection of pictures showing the item from different perspectives.
An intimate behind-the-scenes video of Eric painstakingly creating the sculpture from scratch was also featured on the carousel.
“It was my great honor and privilege to create the hat our First Lady, Melania Trump, wore for the inaugural swearing-in of our 47th President!” he wrote in the description, expressing his appreciation for the First Lady. She possesses the inner beauty, grace, and presence to turn what was once a very basic, understated hat style into a “wow” moment. “Love went into making the First Lady’s hat.”
Netizens praised Melania’s immaculate taste on social media, sparking a flurry of online adulation for her inauguration suit.

Although Melania Trump seemed to be the star of the show, other notable ladies, such as Usha Vance, the Second Lady and wife of Vice President JD Vance, also made an impression with their exquisite attire.
Usha wowed spectators with her effortless elegance as she made her debut wearing an Oscar de la Renta custom dress.

She added a dainty purse and suede knee-high boots to finish the ensemble, giving it a refined and feminine appearance. The fashion house shared pictures of Usha’s ensemble on Instagram to commemorate the occasion.
Along with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their son, Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the recently inaugurated president, also made a big impression with her attire.
She wore a forest green outfit with a pencil skirt to go with the cinched-waist peplum jacket that drew attention to her physique. A structured handbag, black leather gloves, elegant black shoes, and a hat completed the monochromatic ensemble.
Donald Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, attracted attention with her eye-catching navy velvet suit. The floor-length style has a tight waist and a double-breasted silhouette. She accessorized the ensemble with high black boots.
Wearing a fitted white blazer, Lauren Sanchez, the partner of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, looked stylish during the inauguration. Sparkling drop earrings and a transparent shirt below completed her elegant ensemble.
The wife of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan, chose a comfortable yet elegant style. She accessorized with gorgeous pearls and donned a light blue cardigan with lovely gold buttons.
Eric Trump’s wife, Lara Trump, wore an elegant yet daring ensemble. She was dressed in a textured navy coat with glittering silver buttons down the front and fringe at the hem.
Her sleek figure was emphasized by the ensemble, and the thigh-high slit gave it a contemporary twist. Lara accessorized the ensemble with black heels to complete the look.
