I haven't been able to watch most of the event, but I did see Melania's simply beautiful dress.

Melania's suit was a lovely color.

I was rather disappointed in Michelle Obama's attire, although a gentle, departing reminder that beauty and integrity come from within.

I thought it was nice that Michelle wore a reddish dress and Melania a blue one. I wonder if they did that on purpose. I loved Melania's dress and liked Ivanka's outfit.

There's a really cute video going around too of Barron playing peek-a-boo with Ivanka's baby.

Well, I imagine there will be photos you can see, Texanjana...it was quite an event!

Watching video of the Trumps walking in the parade, isn't Baron only about 10 or 11? Donald is tall, and it looks like Baron will catch up soon!

Caught most of the inauguration because the Government saw fit to stream it on tv's at work. It was quite good actually. Everything executed to a 'T' as you would expect. The Trump family looked beautiful, to a person. Loved the way they all stuck together. Melanie is stunning. Michelle looked very nice too. Baron looked like he was finally catching on to the whole thing and enjoying himself by the parade. Can't wait to see the ball gowns. Those Marine escorts must be very tall if they were taller than Melanie in high heels. Isn't she about 6'?

I only caught glimpses of the inauguration and I agree, Melania and Ivanka were gorgeous. BUT...did you see what Karen Pence wore? Oh dear.

ETA: I think she wore the dress last night, and when I saw her on TV this morning I assumed she wore it to the inauguration. Either way....

Loved Melania's outfit! Also liked the fact that President Trumps hairdresser left a little more white in.

Didn't watch it.

But the new first lady looked perfect. Just lovely, and I particularly liked the way she wore her hair. T looked his best.

Didn't watch more than one second. I am surprised that everyone likes Melania's outfit. It looks like something our of Star Trek to me, with that stiff stand up collar. Oh well, she does her job as arm candy quite well. Sorry I can't be more generous. Haven't seen pictures of the family yet.

Here is a pic of Ivanka's outfit...I will look for some other family members pictures.

I caught a video of Melania presenting a (Tiffany?) box to Michelle. Simply loved the blue dress. No other comments. I couldn't watch any of the inauguration.

Trump should have buttoned his jacket for the oath, it looks more polished. He does have nice suits, though.

I feel like Donald & Melania always look so unhappy....have you noticed that??

I am being ultra grumpy today, but this made me laugh. It showed up in my FB newsfeed.

^^that was funny!!!

They look pretty happy to me.

Melania looked polished and elegant and I sincerely doubt she will ever be photographed otherwise. The dress is lovely. Most of the time I do not see her as unhappy, but just reserved.

I think a lot of the pictures of George W. from the inauguration ceremony were quite fun, too.

Look at the little boy in the front on Trump's left. So cute!

That is grumpy dedtired. Is that supposed to be Michelle in the background with the maroon dress? Odd spoof if it is.

This one is great too!

Whatever you think of 44 or 45, it's pretty amazing that this is what the transfer of power looks like in this country, when you consider what it looks like in so many other places and what the transfer of power has so often looked like throughout history:

Wow beautiful gowns on all for the first dance. Love the song pick...I did it my way lol.

Nope, Madame Maxime . Michelle is tall but not that tall. Okay, I have to say Ivanka's ballgown was lovely.

Wasn't it! She sort of upstaged Melania.

However, Melania looked very nice.

I think they were all stunning both this morning and tonight. Beautiful dresses. Just proves you don't need to your boobs to look good! I loved the way Ivanka interacted with her little girl at Arlington and the Lincoln Memorial. Looked like she was explains to her everything that was going on.

I've never seen Ivanka with her hair up so I didn't recognize her, but all I could see was her perfect gown. Wow.

As for the first-dance song, really? "And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain."

Bpath, I was thinking the same thing at first but I think we were supposed to take from it "I did it my way".

I did it "My Way" - he certainly did! I think Ivanka's children are just so adorable!

Very beautiful - hard for me to imagine being one of those women at that event.

I already imagined it 3katz. You see that sticky outy ruffle on Melania's dress? That would be a catch all for everything I ate or drank : )

LOL! Me too, justerrilynn!

I am impressed that Melania WALKED all day in those heels, in a parade even, and then went to the ball. Oye!!

I watched some of the lead up, and then I went to noon Spin class so I purposely would not be near a screen. Then DH and I had concert tickets that included a soundcheck, so we left the house at 4 p.m. and came back at midnight. So, I saw the day clothing but not the evening. I liked the blue on Melania and the red on Michelle was good.

Edited to add: But do not let fashion distract you from what is really going on.

Melania's dress was very nice, but I thought the tailoring was a little off with the jacket on. Once she took the jacket off the dress fell better. I would have preferred her to wear white gloves though it was too matchy matchy. I loved Ivanka's suit. I did not care for Michelle Obama's dress or the way she wore her hair, she could have and has looked far better. The children were all impeccably dressed. Arabella's coat was lovely. As for the gowns, didnt love Melania's with the red ribbon. I think it is one of those gowns that probably looked better IRL. Ivanka's gown was beautiful but reminded me of her wedding gown. Tiffany's gown was very nice. But the two Trump daughter in law gowns were horrid.

Ya, I was thinking about walking in those heels too. She's been a model since age 5 so lots of practice I guess. She made it look easy.
