The inauguration of President Donald Trump for his second term not only marked a new chapter in American politics but also showcased the fashion choices of two families entering the White House. Throughout the inauguration weekend, the Trump family's attire drew comparisons to the British royal family, with Melania and Ivanka Trump's elegant ensembles echoing the classic styles of Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla.

First Lady Melania Trump opted for an all-American designer look, wearing a navy Adam Lippes suit and an Eric Javits hat. Her sophisticated style, particularly the wide-brimmed hat, evoked comparisons to Kate Middleton's headwear choices at recent royal events. Ivanka Trump also embraced a polished aesthetic, donning a green Dior skirt suit and fascinator, mirroring Middleton's penchant for tailored outfits and jewel tones.

The similarities extended to the younger generation as well. Ivanka's daughter, Arabella Kushner, wore a camel-colored cape and trousers, reminiscent of Princess Charlotte's caped outfit at King Charles' coronation. Later, Ivanka's black and white Givenchy gown for the inaugural ball drew parallels to the timeless elegance of Audrey Hepburn.

Kai Madison Trump, Donald Trump Jr.'s daughter, also made a fashion statement in a shimmering silver gown at the inaugural ball.
