The inauguration of President Joe Biden was a day marked by messages of unity, truth, respect for others and hope for the future. For many, the occasion also offered the opportunity to exhale and enjoy some beautiful fashion without a sense of impending doom about the state of democracy.
Thankfully, sitting at home in our sweatpants for nearly a year has not diminished our collective appreciation for great style. From the fabulous coats to the trendy shoes, many inauguration looks were all over social media on Wednesday.
We’ve put together a rundown of the fashion highlights from Inauguration Day.

President Joe Biden, who took office on Wednesday morning, is not Jewish. Neither is Vice President Kamala Harris.
But between the two of them, they have an astonishing collection of Jewish relatives most of whom schlepped to Washington, D.C., statement coats in tow, for the presidential inauguration.
Harris is married to Forward-certified “hot Jewish dad” Doug Emhoff, who for months has been raring to take up his role as “second mensch.” She goes by “Momala” to her two Jewish stepchildren, Ella and Cole Emhoff.
Meanwhile, all three of Joe Biden’s children Beau and Hunter, his sons with his first wife, Neilia Biden, and Ashley, his daughter with current wife Dr. Jill Jacobs Biden married members of the tribe, making the president-elect the grandfather of some pretty cute Jewish kids.
