Donald Trump was official sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America on January 20, succeeding Joe Biden.
At his inauguration, which fell on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, crowds gathered to watch the oath ceremony in Washington D.C.
Amongst the living former Presidents in attendance at the inauguration - Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush - was Trump's family, including his glamorous daughter, Ivanka.
The mother-of-three first made her appearance on inauguration day at St John's Church service where she wore a chic, dark green suit and matching hat. She was photographed walking into the church in the figure-fitting pencil skirt and wrap jacket. She accessorized with black leather gloves and a Lady Dior bag. The blonde beauty wore her hair in neat chignon and her makeup was as flawless as ever.

"Witnessing my father become the 45th President of the United States, lighting Shabbat candles with Jared in the Lincoln Bedroom on Inauguration Day, helping Theodore crawl for the first time in the White House State Dining Room, watching Joseph play with his little brother aboard Air Force One, and seeing Arabella sneak through the secret door of the Resolute Desk are memories I will cherish forever."

Former First Ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Dr. Jill Biden were also spotted, although not Michelle Obama, who confirmed through a representative that she would not join her husband, just days after she also missed Jimmy Carter's funeral. At the time, a rep stated that she had "scheduling conflicts" and was in Hawai'i at the time.
