Donald and Melania Trump's Awkward Kiss
At the ceremony, President Trump went to kiss his wife,
Melania Trump,
but the first lady quickly turned her cheek to seemingly avoid sharing a smooch with her husband.
Inauguration or a Funeral?
Melania sported a handsewn Adam Lippes navy wool coat, silk wool pencil skirt and ivory blouse. However, the dark color palette of her ensemble reminded fans of a more somber occasion.
"Melania Trump is dressed like she's on her way to a funeral," one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"This vibe is more like a funeral than an inauguration," another person noted.
Lauren Sánchez's Outfit
Jeff Bezos' fiancée,
Lauren Sánchez, chose to wear a lacy corset underneath her pantsuit, which social media users found to be disrespectful.
"Jeff Bezos' future wife Lauren Sánchez is incredibly inappropriately dressed for a state occasion," one person said on X. "Someone should have told her that having her white lace bra out on display is not acceptable."
"Why is Lauren Sánchez dressed like she's attending a
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?" another asked.
Carrie Underwood's Malfunction
Country music star
Carrie Underwood made the controversial decision to perform at the ceremony, but she was forced to take an unplanned moment of silence when the music didn't work.
The "Before He Cheats" songstress stood on a podium waiting for her background track to start, but technical difficulties forced her to sing acapella.
