Her outfit exuded confidence and stability, reflecting the significance of the occasion. Lady Gaga added a touch of glamour to the day with a custom Schiaparelli haute couture ensemble, complete with a symbolic dove brooch representing peace.
Poet laureate Amanda Gorman captivated audiences not only with her poignant poetry but also with her bold Prada coat and headband, paying homage to the great Maya Angelou with her accessories.
