Dr Biden looked exquisite in a regal purple wrap coat and matching panelled dress by New York designer Jonathan Cohen – but it was her elegant shoes that caught our eye.

Later in the evening at the presidential inauguration, Dr Biden appeared to still be wearing the nude coloured heels, but she swapped her eye-catching violet ensemble for a custom dress and overcoat from New York-based ethical label Markarian, designed by Alexandra O'Neill.

The brand notes that each piece is "thoughtfully made-to-order in an effort to reduce waste" - which could be a nod to President Biden's climate change manifesto.
