From Joe Biden to Nancy Reagan, the fashion code of the US First Lady in inauguration fashion

On the 20th (local time), when the inauguration of US President Joe Biden was held, first lady Jill Biden appeared in a blue coat and dress. The vivid blue-collar dress and coat worn by Mrs. Biden that day reminded him of Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy. Four years ago, Ms. Melania Trump also attended the inauguration ceremony wearing this Jacqueline-style pale blue costume.

Considering the inauguration ceremony of the U.S. president, which is broadcast live all over the world, First Raid’s fashion style is bound to attract attention. Jill Biden’s fashion, who chose a color similar to a suit, from shoes to gloves and masks, seems to contain the meaning of social integration that her husband emphasized as his inauguration. I looked at the fashion of the inauguration ceremony of successive American first ladies, which has been talked about for a long time in the public interest.
