Lauren Sanchez ditches controversy for elegance at inaugural ball
The styling in which Lauren Sanchez appeared at Donald Trump's inauguration caused quite a stir. At the presidential inaugural ball that capped the event, Jeff Bezos' partner opted for a decidedly more conservative outfit.
On Monday, much of the world was focused on the United States due to the highly publicized inauguration of Donald Trump in the media. Taking the oath once again, the 78-year-old officially became the 47th president of the USA. Top politicians and well-known business figures attended the solemn event. Attendees of the ceremony were scrutinized by fashion experts who closely observed the outfits for the evening. The center of attention was Melania Trump, who donned an elegant navy coat and stylish hat. There was also significant attention paid to Lauren Sanchez, who chose a somewhat daring outfit. Dressed in a white suit, Jeff Bezos' partner revealed a lace bra at the inauguration, attracting criticism.

Another long-standing tradition associated with the presidential inauguration in the USA is the balls that gather Washington's elite and the most devoted supporters of the head of state. According to the White House Historical Association, the first inaugural ball was held in 1809 for President James Madison and his wife, Dolley. As reported by international press, Donald and Melania participated in three presidential inaugural balls on Monday evening: the Commander in Chief Ball, Liberty Ball, and Starlight Ball. The President delivered a brief speech at each event before sharing a dance with his wife among the other couples.

One of the highlights of the third edition of the Starlight Ball was a performance by country singer Gavin DeGraw. During the ball at Union Station, the Trumps danced to "Glory, Glory Hallelujah." The event was scheduled to end well after midnight Eastern Time, with its finale featuring a shared dance by Donald Trump and his family members to Frank Sinatra's "My Way." Among the guests at the Starlight Ball were Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The billionaire's partner opted for a less daring ensemble on this occasion. The journalist shone on the dance floor in a golden tulle dress by Dolce & Gabbana. The event was attended by a select group of representatives from the American elite; however, journalists and photographers were not invited. Lauren Sanchez, however, shared her outfit on Instagram.
