January 21, 2025, 8:03 AM

Inauguration Day festivities brought plenty of high-profile style on everyone from incoming political figures to inauguration performers.

"Good Morning America" is taking a closer look at the standout looks of the day from Ivanka Trump's sleek, deep green ensemble to Usha Vance's soft pink coat with a matching scarf.

Outgoing first lady Jill Biden chose bold, head-to-toe purple with a matching coat, gloves and shoes, while Vice President Kamala Harris chose a mostly black ensemble finished with leather gloves and a black-and-white scarf.

Incoming first lady Melania Trump wore a look from American designer Adam Lippes to attend a church service early in the day. The ensemble featured a navy silk wool coat, a navy silk wool pencil skirt and an ivory silk crepe blouse, all hand-sewn in New York City.

"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," Lippes said in a press release, adding that "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."

For the inaugural balls, Melania Trump changed into an off-white gown featuring striking black ribbon details, a design from her longtime stylist Herve Pierre.
