She complimented the outfit with crystal earrings, pearl bracelets and heels by Jimmy Choo, and we must say it was all shades of elegant!
Michelle Obama
This roundup would be incomplete if we didn’t mention the breath-taking outfit that the former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, wore to the ceremony. It would be safe to say that the internet stood still when she walked into the US Capitol with Barack Obama in a monochrome ensemble.
Michelle Obama, who is known for her unique fashion choices, wowed everyone with a look from one of her favourite young designers, Sergio Hudson. The plum and burgundy ensemble comprised of a turtleneck sweater and wide-leg bootcut pants, with a structured coat.
She completed the look with a black face mask, a burgundy handmade leather belt fastened with a circular crushed brass buckle, and pumps to go. Did we also state that her wavy, voluminous and bouncy hair also complemented the outfit completely? Trust us when we say, Michelle Obama’s entire look screamed power and elegance.
These ladies and more graced the US Capitol looking like a million bucks – which they are anyways – and the internet definitely stood still. Of worthy mention as well are the President, Joe Biden’s grand-daughters. The trio dressed in a pink, white and brown ensemble respectively, and they brought a necessary pop of colour to the ceremony.
