On all major occasions, the dress of the First Lady of the United States will always be the focus of attention. And do you know that, in fact, there is a small story behind the Chinese clothes worn by the first husbands at the presidential inaugural ball? Below, I have selected a few dresses that the first husbands passed through during the presidential inauguration. Come with you to watch the story behind these dresses. Caroline Harrison, the first lady from 1889 to 1892.

The Philadelphia Times has rated Caroline as a sensible exemplar for American Women. This dress is a typical

representative of the Caroline wardrobe, the full set of clothing is made in the United States.

This is the first lady who loves shopping, and her husband, Calvin Coolidge, also likes to be her fashion staff, and

often sends her skirts and hats.


Lou Hoover, first lady during the period 1929-1933.


She was the first lady to be in the fashion magazine Vogue. So when she became the first lady, she has been

widely regarded as a fashion icon. In order to support the development of the textile industry, she also took the

lead in wearing cotton clothes. Although this dress looks simple, it is made of metal wire!


Jackie Kennedy, first lady since 1961-1963.


This yellow silk dress was designed by the famous costume designer Oleg Cassini, who is also the first lady's

designer and has designed dresses for Jacqueline many times.


Lady Bird Johnson, the first lady from 1963 to 1969.


Bird knew that the clothes he wore would eventually be exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum in the United

States, and she chose a timeless style.

The first lady wore this beaded dress and took part in the inaugural ball of the husband of Carter in 1971 and the

inaugural ball of the husband in 1977.


Hillary Clinton, the first lady from 1993-2001.


Hillary chose a violet evening dress at the inaugural ball at Clinton. Although the color of this dress is not

conspicuous, it has a lot of exquisite details, such as the belt of the dress is very beautiful.


Laura Bush, the first lady from 2001 to 2008.


Laura chose a dress from the hometown designer Michael Faircloth. Choosing a red dress at the inaugural ball is

also a tribute to the Republican Party.
