While we think the best fashion this past weekend was at the Women’s March, inauguration wear is always one for the books—no matter who’s being sworn in. For the 58th Presidential Inauguration, it was particularly interesting considering the ongoing controversy surrounding designers okay with dressing the Trump family, and those strongly against it. Below, we break down what pivotal players wore this past weekend.

There’s no doubt Michelle Obama will go down as one of the most stylish First Ladies in history. Always classic and stunning, she said goodbye to the White House in none other than Jason Wu, and looked fearless in the deep red tweed dress with matching overcoat. A go-to designer of hers, it was the second time she’s donned Wu in recent weeks, also wearing a custom piece by him during her husband’s farewell address.

Oh, Hillary. While there’s no way Friday’s events were easy for Clinton, she showed up smiling in Ralph Lauren. A simple, white ensemble paired with neutral accessories, it was strong and maybe most importantly, true to Clinton’s style. She also wore a white pantsuit by Lauren to accept the presidential nomination in July, making her inauguration decision seem like that much more of a statement.
