The public figure who stole the show at the inauguration was none other than First Lady of the US (FLOTUS) Melania Trump. Her outfit — a sleek, double-breasted navy coat with sharp lapels and a structured silhouette — exuded sophistication and timeless elegance.

The designer behind her stunning outfit, Adam Lippes, boasted about his creation on Instagram with a heartfelt post.

Alongside a photo of Melania standing beside a soldier in uniform, Adam wrote, “The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy, and today we had the honor to dress our First Lady, Mrs. Melania Trump. Mrs. Trump’s outfit was created by some of America’s finest craftsmen, and I take great pride in showing such work to the world.”

The carousel also included an intimate behind-the-scenes video of Eric meticulously crafting the piece from scratch.

In his caption, he revealed his admiration for the First Lady, writing, “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! She has the inner grace, beauty, and presence to transform what was really a very simple, restrained hat style into what became a ‘wow’ moment. The First Lady’s hat was made with love.”

Another declared, “She was the best dressed [sic] lady at the inauguration,” while a fellow admirer added, “Melania Trump is always the BEST dressed woman in any room. I adore her style & grace 😍.”

Admiration for Melania’s elegance was unanimous, with fans raving about her poise and timeless fashion sense. Yet another supporter enthusiastically declared, “Classy as always!”

Someone else echoed, “Melania looked very chic,” while an admirer swooned, “Absolutely, beautiful and elegant!” “Very regal! 👸 ❤️🤍💙,” gushed another.

While Melania Trump appeared to be the belle of the ball, other prominent women also stood out with their stunning ensembles, including the Second Lady and wife of Vice President JD Vance, Usha Vance.

Making her entrance with effortless grace, Usha captivated onlookers in a custom-designed outfit by Oscar de la Renta.

She completed the look with suede knee-high boots and a delicate clutch, creating a polished and feminine aesthetic. The fashion house celebrated the moment on Instagram by sharing photos of Usha’s look.

She donned a forest green ensemble featuring a cinched-waist peplum jacket that accentuated her figure, and paired this with a matching pencil skirt. The monochromatic look was completed with a beret, sleek black heels, black leather gloves, and a structured handbag.

Tiffany Trump, Donald’s youngest daughter, turned heads in a striking navy velvet coat. The floor-length design featured a double-breasted silhouette and a cinched waist. She paired the look with black, heeled boots.

Priscilla Chan, wife of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, opted for a cozy yet polished look. She wore a light blue cardigan with delicate gold buttons and accessorized with stunning pearls.

The outfit highlighted her sleek silhouette, while the thigh-high slit added a touch of modernity. Completing the look, Lara paired the ensemble with black heels.
