All The Best Fashion Moments In Now U.S. President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day

It was a momentous day for the United States of America as a they swear in their new and 46th President Joseph Biden earlier today at the U.S. Capitol. The mood was positive and the fashion even more statement-making. While fashion and politics can’t be in more polar opposites in the spectrum, today the melange of pieces prove to be symbolic of what’s to come for the U.S.

Purple seemed to be the color of choice and new and emerging American designers were put into the spotlight. The Inauguration Day 2021 fashion was a great start to see what’s next for the Biden administration.

The inaugural poem was recited by no other than National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman. Her poem “The Hill We Climb” is an awe-inspiring reading on the hopes and dreams the new administration is set to build again.
