Supporting him by his side and seated behind him was his family, who sported luxury outfits to brave the D.C. cold and to embody poise as the first family. The women of the Trump family all wore muted, monochromatic looks, in contrast to the powdered blue and white dresses they wore during his first inauguration ceremony in 2017.

Here's what you need to know about their looks Monday.

While not part of the Trump family, Vice President JD Vance's wife clearly got the memo.

The mother of three looked glam and understanted in a monochromatic look: a pale pink coat with matching scarf, gloves and luxurious suede beige boots.

At the vice president's dinner Sunday, Vance wore a custom noir velvet gown from Oscar de la Renta, per a post from the fashion house, which added that it had "asymmetric floral accents and a sweetheart neckline."

Since it's custom, the price is unknown, but a quick search on Oscar de la Renta's site shows velvet gowns between $5,290 and $7,290.
