While red, white and blue are the colors of the U.S. flag, these likely won’t be the only shades Americans see when it comes to the fashion on Inauguration Day.

Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Jan. 20, with him assuming the position from Joe Biden. JD Vance will also become vice president and step into the role currently held by Kamala Harris, who lost to Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

During the event, many viewers will be taking note of the array of outfits worn to the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.

When Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president back in 2017, his wife Melania Trump wore a light blue bolero jacket and dress by Ralph Lauren—finishing her look with a matching pair of gloves. And for the ball that evening, she donned a silk crepe off-the-shoulder gown by Hervé Pierre that was in shade vanilla and featured details like a ruffle trim and red ribbon belt.
