Jill Biden’s dress was hand-embroidered with flowers from every US state and territory.
For the concert, Biden wore an ivory outfit from Uruguayan-American designer Gabriela Hearst.
Hearst shared on Instagram that each flower took between two to four hours to embroider, and the Delaware flower was placed near Jill’s heart to represent her home state.
“The message of Unity is the main inspiration for the creation of the Ensemble,” Hearst wrote in her caption. “Unity makes strength and it is needed for the road ahead. The blooming symbol to represent this message are the federal flowers from every state and territory of the United States of America.”
Jill’s matching coat was lined with a Benjamin Franklin quote.
In the same Instagram post, Hearst revealed that the quote represents Biden’s role as an educator.
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn,” the quote reads.
Kamala Harris wore a sequin cocktail dress underneath her floor-length overcoat.
Harris didn’t take her coat off during the concert, so it was difficult to see the sequin cocktail dress she was wearing underneath.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the designer, Sergio Hudson, said he wanted to create a tailored look for the vice president that had a touch of glamour.
“We kept the silhouette very structured and tailored, because that’s who the vice president is,” Hudson said. “But the liquid sequins give her glamour and shine because her influence and the way she’s broken barriers is a light for so many of us. She shines so we can all shine.”
Maisy Biden wore another pair of Nike sneakers with a $1,575 Rodarte gown.
At the inauguration, Maisy wore a navy pantsuit and turtleneck with a pair of Air Jordan 1 Mid “Sisterhood” sneakers.
For the concert, the president’s granddaughter changed into a pink $1,575 Rodarte heart-print gown designed with ruffled sleeves. She also wore a pair of black-and-white Nike high-tops that were similar to the sneakers she wore earlier in the day.
Finnegan and Natalie Biden wore dresses from the same American designer Jill Biden wore earlier in the day.
The president’s granddaughters followed Jill’s lead by wearing Markarian looks to the concert.
Naomi Biden’s outfit was actually a jumpsuit.
From far away, Naomi’s outfit might have seemed like a dress, but thanks to a more close-up photo shared on her Instagram, it looks like it’s actually a wide-leg jumpsuit with pockets that was designed by Valentino.
Ashley Biden changed into a tuxedo by Ralph Lauren, which is the same designer her dad wore for the inauguration.
The president’s daughter looked fabulous in an open blazer that she paired with a white blouse, straight-leg pants, and an undone tie. She accessorized the tux with black pumps and
a matching face mask.
Katy Perry paid tribute to the American flag while performing her hit song “Firework.”
Perry wore a custom Thom Browne white cashmere coat with navy buttons going down the sleeves, as well as a silk corset with a matching floor-length skirt adorned with red buttons.
As Insider’s Anneta Konstantinides reported, the combination of red, white, and blue was not only an homage to the American flag but could have been a symbol of unity since red is the color of the Republican party, while blue represents the Democrat party.
Perry also chose to wear custom earrings from an American jeweler.
According to a press release shared with Insider, Perry hand-selected Rahaminov Diamonds to create the one-of-a-kind, 18K white gold and diamond earrings.
Kerry Washington paid tribute to Biden and Harris with her manicure.
To take part in the “Celebrating America” special, Washington had her ring fingers painted with the Biden-Harris campaign logo. She showed off the manicure on Instagram.
Washington took it one step further by wearing a checkered jacket and pants by Black designer Autumn Adeigbo. The brand is known for sustainable fashion made in New York City by female-owned production facilities.
