Inauguration Fashion Thread

[Anonymous]

Someone mentioned the shoes earlier. When they were in the Rotunda, it is clear that the shoes are a problem. Ever notices how weird Nancy's walk is when she walks up to her pressers?
I think it is because high heels just do not work on marble floors. Dangerous.

Love Gaga, but she looked ridiculous. As did JLo. It’s an inauguration, not the Grammys.

I loved it - thought it was a nod to the non-existent inaugural balls we are not getting this year.

I wonder if the pearls are for Harris

To be fair, Laura Bush’s MIL is known for wearing pearls, so could be a family thing.

I do think that even for conservative women there is a sense of excitement and solidarity over the first woman VP.

Past inauguration performers fashion...

Let's start with the best.



More recently, Obama had Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, and James Taylor








The only other one I could find was an opera singer named Deyce Graves at the 2nd Bush inauguration

OMG she is beautiful. Total girl crush.

I was trying to express to my kids the wonder of J Lo. I cried during her song.

I thought she was so cheesy. So 2008. It was a weird choice...a celebrity who made it about her, rather than about the solemn occasion that it was. So flashy and tacky.

Loved Garth Brooks. Loved Biden's speech.

+1. I thought everything was flawless except Garth brooks’ pants were inappropriate and trying to make it about himself, and j lo’s performance was horrific and embarrassing.

Looks like drapes.

Looks dated.

Ella Emhoff. Kamala's step-daughter. She's a student at Parsons.[/quote
Thanks! I was wondering.. imho, it is a very unfortunate coat.😆

Michelle Obama stole the show. And Hillary looked surpisingly fresh, you'd think she's similar in age to Trump's mail-order missus.

Vice-President Harris' two great nieces and their fierce animal print faux fur jackets - hands down best dressed.

I love it. I love the texture, the subtle sequins, and the contrasting lapels. They look like velvet (bot sure if they are). I also loved the color of Kamala’s coat. I cannot believe they all wore heels! Their ankles must have been freezing.

There was a little voice over on CBS about her outfit. Apparently, Oprah Winfrey called her and offered to buy her a coat, as she had for Maya Angelou when she was the inaugural poet for Clinton. Gorman already had her coat picked out, and Winfrey ended up buying her earrings.

Maya Angelou:

Jeez, that alone made me tear up again. Can you imagine being 22 and having the guts to tell Oprah that you have your own coat, thank you very much?

Lol, I think it’s exactly at 22 or around it that you do that sort of thing

Yup! Then, 20 years on, you’re like: OMG, I can’t believe I DID that! Lol. I’m sure Oprah gets it.

OMG yes totally. To be so young and brash. To be fair, she is wearing a GREAT coat.

Might have been "But I already have a perfectly good coat for the occasion so it wouldn't be okay for me to have this person buy me another coat." Even if that person is Oprah and the cost of even a really nice coat is absolutely nothing to her.

Would Oprah have offered to buy the coats of the poets laureate had they been white? Somehow I doubt it.

Funny: reading this, I thought you were going to go for "male" -- not race. I was imagining what Robert Frost might have said, had Oprah offered.

It's definitely the high heels on the marble floor. I'm kind of surprised some of them don't stick that sandpaper-like tread stuff on the bottom of the soles.

I liked it. Nice to see a quirky 21-year-old art student up there being herself in a sea of blown out hair and jewel tones.

I was wondering if there was an agreement to wear purple/magenta.
