Below we take a look back at some of the best photos from the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, all stepped out in shades of purple and violet for the inauguration of President Joe Biden on Wednesday in Washington, DC — and the significance of the colour wasn’t lost on viewers.
It was likely as a representation of bipartisanship, as the colour can be created as the result of mixing reds and blues.
Lady Gaga wowed at the inauguration, nailing her performance of the US National Anthem and donning a striking outfit – braids, giant red skirt and most noticeably, an oversized gold dove brooch – that was very Hunger Games.
