If politics aren t your thing, this week s US inauguration served up some serious fashion looks.
There was Michelle Obama in plum and Hillary Clinton in her power purple and the Biden clan s commitment to matching their masks to their outfits.
And of course, Melania Trump deserves an honourable mention for her Gucci kaftan that spoke volumes after she left the White House.
But the real fashion star of the inauguration was a person you ve probably never heard of before: Ella Emhoff.

Ella is the stepdaughter of US Vice President Kamala Harris and at just 21 is being lauded for being an instant style icon and achieving what Ivanka couldn t get done in four years : actual fashion praise.
On January 20, history was made with the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.
Joe Biden became the oldest president. Dr Jill Biden became the first First Lady who is expected to continue with a paid job during her role. Kamala Harris became the first woman, Black woman and Asian-American to become Vice President. Doug Emhoff became the first Second Gentleman. And, 22-year-old Amanda Gorman became the youngest person to deliver the inauguration poem.
With all these firsts, combined with the turbulent state of US politics in recent months, even
weeks, it was a hopeful day. A happy day.
And where there is happiness, there are memes.
