“Trump in a nice tuxedo, Melania looking gorgeous in that dress,” another said.
However, she wasn’t the only one to catch patriots’ eyes on Monday evening.
Viewers were quick to compliment Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha, for her outfit choice.
“Usha Vance is about to be my new obsession for these next four years omg,” one X user said.
“Usha Vance is also beautiful. Great dress!” another added.
On Monday, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States with his wife, Melania, by his side.
During the Inauguration Ceremony, Melania wore a white shirt, with a long black blazer dress and a black and white boater hat.
A fashion expert critiqued the First Lady’s look in an interview with The U.S. Sun.
“I feel like it’s a happy occasion and what she’s wearing seems too dark and understated,” fashion stylist and wardrobe consultant Amanda Sanders said.

However, she did question Melania’s headwear choice.
“It covers her face so we really don’t see much of her,” she said.
“It’s very maturing and somber. She’s usually so glamorous.
“It just feels like a very somber outfit for a joyous celebration.”

“Love Trump, hate Trump, nobody can say Melania doesn’t dress with class when she’s in public,” a third determined.
Meanwhile, President Trump was stood alongside her wearing a navy suit with a blue tie with red polka dots.
