In lieu of an inaugural ball to celebrate the swearing-in of a newly-minted president, Tom Hanks stepped in to host the Celebrating America Primetime Special. With guests beamed in from around the country, as well as a live performance from Katy Perry, who rather-appropriately dug out her 2010 smash-hit Firework, it was quite a lot of pomp and circumstance considering the social-distancing restrictions. And the fashion, while not of the sweeping ball gown variety, was still remarkably on-point. Kamala Harris's elegant black coat, from Sergio Hudson, struck a nice contrast with the creamy white colour of Jill Biden's Gabriela Hearst dress. Perry also ensured the whole show went out with a bang (a big one) with a rather patriotic outfit from Thom Browne. Here are the evening's best looks.

1 of 7Kamala Harris
Fashion commentators are already suggesting that Harris's approach to fashion is similar to Michelle Obama's, and lo and behold, Madame Vice President chose to wear the same designer as the former FLOTUS as her second outfit on Inauguration Day: Sergio Hudson.

Performing as part of the Celebrating America Primetime Special, Perry wore a patriotic, yet directional, ensemble by Thom Browne.

Chrissy Teigen wore tomato red brights from head-to-toe, with a coat from Proenza Schouler, and ankle-tie pumps from Bottega Veneta.
