Pat Nixon Posing in Her Inauguration Gown
Patricia Nixon, the previous First Lady of the United States, dressed in a way that was a touch out of character for her husband’s inaugural ball. She is known for dressing in a practical manner, but she decided to dress up in what can only be described as an “out there” gown for her occasion. The white and baby blue gown, complete with beaded high-neck pieces and tulle, is a departure from the former First Lady’s usual style. The auburn updo, on the other hand, stands out against her darker complexion, and it actually works to her advantage.

Betty Ford STunned During A Royal Dinner
During a white-tie luncheon at the White House in 1976, which included honorary guests Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, former First Lady Betty Ford took out a frock that appeared to be familiar to many of her guests. Ford wore this pale-green sequined chiffon gown, designed by Frankie Welch, to more than one state banquet during her tenure as president. This particular dress, which was embroidered with a chrysanthemum pattern and matched with glittering earrings, was later donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History as her inaugural gown, despite the fact that Ford did not have a traditional inauguration.
