All the best coats from the Biden-Harris inauguration day

Vice President Kamala Harris wore a blue-purple monochromatic look at her inauguration.

The coat, by American designer Christopher John Rogers, may have been meant as a symbol of unity, as purple is red and blue mixed together. Others pointed out that it may be a nod to Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to run for president. Chisholm's campaign colors were yellow and purple.

The color matched the inauguration's theme, which was "America United."

Amanda Gorman made history as the youngest inaugural poet — she's just 23 — and recited her poem "The Hill We Climb" today wearing a bright-yellow coat.

Gorman told Vogue the coat was a nod to First Lady Jill Biden, who suggest Gorman for the role as inaugural poet.

Gorman's Prada coat, which initially sold for $2,777.28, is currently sold out.

She accessorized the look with a special gift of jewelry from Oprah Winfrey, a pair of gold hoops from Nikos Koulis's Energy Collection, and a birdcage ring from Of Rare Origin as a nod to Maya Angelou.

"[Oprah] was like, 'I'm so excited that you're doing the poem,' and she's been really supportive because she knew how nervous I was about going. She said, 'I bought the coat and gloves that Maya Angelou wore when she recited her inaugural poem. I'd love to continue the tradition with you and bring something to your outfit.'"

President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and first gentleman Doug Emhoff all wore American designers.

Jill Biden wore an ocean-blue overcoat from Markarian, a New York-based luxury fashion label founded in 2017 by designer Alexandra O'Neill. Her outfit, which featured velvet accents, was matched with ocean-blue gloves and a mask.

Speaking to Insider, a representative for the brand said the color was to "signify trust, confidence, and stability."

Ella Emhoff is already being regarded as a "style icon." And for inauguration day, she didn't disappoint.

The Parsons textile design student wore a Miu Miu coat, which featured a plaid pattern, embellishments, and strong shoulders. An embroidered, floppy collar peeked out.

The former first lady, Michelle Obama, had a style moment at the Biden-Harris inauguration.

Obama wore a monochromatic plum suit complete with a coat from Black designer Sergio Hudson.

Twitter users were quick to comment on Obama's fashion upgrade from the 2017 inauguration.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become known for her powerful coats, after wearing a bright orange coat from Max Mara to a meeting with former President Donald Trump over his proposed border wall.

Today, she continued her powerful looks with a mask-to-heals turquoise look.

Underneath her plum coat, Clinton wore a pussy-bow-like scarf, which is often worn by female politicians as a symbol of protest.

Additionally, the decision to wear purple may have been a nod to bipartisanship compromise. It's a color she's worn in the past.

Jennifer Lopez performed a rendition of "This Land is Your Land" while wearing a suffragette white Chanel pantsuit. White has historically been a way to honor the women's suffrage movement.

The fitted coat sparkled with pearl detailing that created an overall dazzling look.

Sen. Bernie Sanders arrived at the inauguration wearing a familiar coat, the same one he wore in a presidential campaign video that quickly turned into a meme. The coat is from a Vermont-based brand, Burton.

Others were more focused on his mittens and his look quickly sparked a flood of interest.

The mittens were knitted by a Vermont teacher named Jen Ellis, who constructed them out of recycled sweater bits and lined the gloves with fleece.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar wore a mustard yellow overcoat as she spoke throughout today's inauguration.

It was the same coat she wore when she announced her presidential run in 2019, according to The Washington Post. The Post also added that the gold and purple may have also been a subtle reference to the University of Minnesota, her husband's alma mater.

Laura Bush matched her baby-blue coat with a sparkling set of pearls.
