Inauguration Day isn’t just a political event—it’s a masterclass in high-stakes style and diplomatic dresseing. With the eyes of the world glued to Washington, D.C., this moment blends pageantry, power, and plenty of Oval office-worthy outfits. From the colour choices to the intricate tailoring, fashion takes centre stage as much as the speeches and handshakes.

Today marks Donald Trump’s return to the White House as the 47th President of the United States, and the 2025 Inauguration has drawn a who’s who of political heavyweights, tech titans, and fashion royalty. Country star Carrie Underwood stole the show with a breathtaking rendition of ‘America the Beautiful’ alongside the Armed Forces Chorus draped in a stunning ivory gown.

Outgoing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were joined by former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, while tech moguls like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos also made appearances. Adding a touch of luxury,  Delphine Arnault (of the Arnault family who own LVMH) also brought her signature style to the occasion.

As the crowd gathered to witness history in the making, let’s take a closer look at the well-heeled attendees who truly owned the spotlight.
