Jill Biden paid tribute to the US with her Inauguration Concert dress, which was embroidered with the federal flowers of every state and territory in the country.
The first lady paired the ivory silk gown with a Gabriela Hearst coat - also adorned with flowers - according to Booth Moore, executive editor at Women's Wear Daily. She completed the outfit with matching leather gloves designed by Hearst, People reports.
Biden wore the look - which is thought to symbolize unity across the US - for the "Celebrating America" special hosted by Tom Hanks, which the Biden family watched from the White House.
The concert replaced the traditional Inauguration Ball, which couldn't be held this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Kate Perry and Demi Lovato were among the stars chosen to perform at the socially distanced concert.
Earlier in the day, the first lady opted for an ocean-blue dress and matching coat for her husband's inauguration ceremony. The outfit was designed by Markarian, a New York-based luxury fashion label founded in 2017 by designer Alexandra O'Neil, Insider's Darcy Schild previously reported.
"When we were designing Dr. Biden's look, we wanted to make sure her outfit was classic and feminine and really reflected her but was a little bit of something extra-special, so we had the little crystal details on it to reflect the light very subtly," O'Neill previously said of the design.
The designer added that she believes the first lady will continue to showcase emerging American designers.
"I think she recognizes the power and impact that her clothing choices have on emerging talent," she said.
