The red, white and blue $3,600 (£2,907) Gucci jacket was unmissable during the ceremony.

According to lead designer Allessandro Michele, the coat was inspired by London's Westminster Abbey.

The A-line woollen number is part of Gucci's ready-to-wear collection, and first appeared on Gucci's Resort 2017 runway.

The show was held at Westminster Abbey itself, which was a first for the famous landmark.

Conway paired the patriotic coat with what appeared to be a Louis Vuitton Alma handbag in red, textured “Epi Leather,” which can cost around $2,000 (£1,615), depending on the size.

After dazzling in a glittering gold gown at last night’s black tie dinner, she donned a chic, high-necked powder blue dress for husband Donald’s inauguration today.

Fashion-watchers wondered who would dress the 46-year-old mum-of-one for the prestigious event, with many top designers reportedly refusing to offer her garments.

Ralph Lauren is the designer behind the elegant tailored ensemble, which Melania paired with her signature pin-thin heels and leather baby blue gloves.

Some observers claim the cashmere, mock-turtle neck dress is reminiscent of the iconic garments worn by Jackie Kennedy.

Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump and her half-sister Tiffany looked like they meant business today as they donned matching white tailored outfits to their father’s inauguration ceremony.

Ivanka, 35, looked radiant in an asymmetrical coat fastened with a silver broach, and skinny cigarette trousers.

Her glossy blonde hair was styled in a side parting and she carried a simple leather clutch bag.

Ivanka was joined by her husband Jared Kushner who looked dapper in a double-breasted grey jacket with blue tie.

The pair had clearly decided to leave their three children, Arabella, Joseph and Theodore, with their nanny as they attended the prestigious event alone.

Meanwhile, Tiffany – Trump’s only child with Marla Maples - was joined by her Democrat boyfriend Ross Mechanic.

Following her older sibling’s lead, the 23-year-old stood out from the crowd in a bright white, double-breasted coat.

Tiffany braved the January chill and ditched her tights, accessorising the bold look with suede green ankle boots, a pearl necklace and gloves.

Ivanka and Tiffany’s brother Donald Jr. and his wife Vanessa attended the day’s proceedings with their two oldest children, Kai and Donald Trump III.

Meanwhile, their brother Eric was accompanied by his glamorous wife Lara.

It has been a busy day for the family.

The Obamas welcomed Donald and his wife Melania for a traditional breakfast at the White House before Trump was sworn in as the 45th US President.

Melania was left red-faced after an embarrassing encounter with Michelle Obama - she went in for a handshake, while the outgoing First Lady dived in for a kiss on the cheek.

There was unprecedented security on the streets of Washington with officers banning drones flying within 30 miles of Trump over bomb fears.

As the divisive Republican candidate prepared to take office, protests broke out between anti-Trump protestors and the police.
