From popstars to former First Ladies, the fashion stakes were high at this afternoon's US Presidential Inauguration.
I know, I know, it’s the inauguration, but .. the fashion. Michelle’s coat. Dr. Jill Biden’s matching mask and dress. Gaga’s Katniss Everdeen moment. JLos hair and makeup. #InaugurationDay

Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on the steps of Capitol Hill today.
Kamala Harris was sworn in as the first female, first black, and first South Asian vice president.
Things I love about the inauguration so far:
-JLo speaking Spanish
-Lady Gaga's dress
-Dr. Jill Biden's outfit
-Amy Klobuchar wearing Minnesota Gopher colors
-Mike Pence showing up
-the pledge in American Sign LanguageWE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT!

The Latina singer spoke in Spanish while addressed the small crowd, even referencing her famous song "Let's Get Loud" at the end.
Meanwhile, country singer Garth Brooks went for a more understated outfit - opting for a black suit and a classic cowboy hat.

He received criticism from his largely GOP-affiliated fanbase for singing at Biden’s inauguration.
"The message they're pushing is unity, and that's right down my alley, man," he said https://t.co/jUTzRFh3vh pic.twitter.com/HxWxigAmep
