India & US: A study in sartorial contrasts
Business Standard|January 25, 2025
The most interestingly dressed person at Donald Trump's depressing second swearing-in ceremony earlier this week was Democratic Senator John Fetterman, who attended in shorts, hoodie and sneakers, oblivious to the sub-zero temperatures that brought the event inside the Capitol for only the second time in 40 years.

Sadly, it was the First Lady's Mafiosi pork-pie hat and buttoned-up English Governess black suit that attracted all the comment. At the very least, she upstaged Fetterman in the comic relief department. As a former model, the inscrutable Melania's attire-she certainly played to form here - has been the subject of intense scrutiny, though in her husband's first term she proved no match for her dynamic predecessor Michelle Obama's sheer fashion nous.

With Michelle enigmatically opting out of this second Trump inauguration, viewers were left to examine Jill Biden's dignified purple ensemble, Ivanka Trump's unremarkable dark green outfit and Second Lady Usha Vance's stylish rose coloured Oscar De La Renta suit (Nancy Pelosi of the gorgeous neckpieces and Ilhan Omar with the unique headscarf we missed you!). Of the men, only Fetterman provided variety to the unrelieved sea of black and white in the Capitol and the overflow room.

Yawn. If this wasn't an event involving the world's most powerful country, it would have been tempting to tune out. For a display of sheer colour and sartorial diversity, nothing matches Indian Parliament.
