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.
46th President Joe Biden’s First Lady, Mrs. Jill Biden (2021~)

Mrs. Melania Trump, the first lady of the 45th President Donald Trump (2017-2021)
At her inauguration in January 2017, Ms. Melania wore Ralph Lauren’s powder blue cashmere suit. The light-toned outfit made the tall man look taller. They wore suede gloves of the same color as the dress, and matched the same color high heels. Ms. Melania Trump’s inauguration fashion was criticized by the public for emphasizing elegance with retro 1960s.
Ms. Michelle Obama, the first lady of the 44th President Barack Obama (2009-2017)
Michelle Obama was on the stage of the inauguration ceremony in an all-round shiny yellow dress and overcoat. This dress was designed by Isabelle Roledo from Cuba, based in the United States. For Michelle Obama’s outfit, the media at the time praised her, saying, “It was Michelle’s excellent choice to choose an immigrant designer who is little known.”
