Rosalynn Carter
Rosalynn Carter is the first lady of the United States and the wife of President Jimmy Carter. Due to the fact that the United States was experiencing a downturn in the economy at the time of his inauguration, the President chose to throw “people’s inaugural parties,” instead of a lavish ball, with tickets available for as little as $25 each. She actually chose to reuse a gown that she had previously worn when President Carter was the governor of New York. With gold detailing on the sleeves of her blue chiffon gown, she looked stunning. Even though she was aiming to make a public statement that the president and his family would not be lavishing themselves in riches while the rest of the country was suffering, the action did not go down well with the general people.

Barbara Bush
Barbara Bush was the first lady of the United States and the wife of President George H.W. Bush. When her husband was appointed to the position of president, she was already a little older. Her husband had already served as Vice President under Ronald Reagan, so she was already familiar with the White House’s manner of doing things at that point in time. Her inauguration attire was designed to make her appear more youthful than she actually was. Arnold Scassi in royal blue velvet and satin was the dress she wore. Since Scassi had been designing for First Ladies since the days of Mamie Eisenhower, it’s possible that Barbara made this choice on purpose to convey that she and her husband were unapologetically conservative in their outlook. She also opted for pearls rather than diamonds as an accessory. Barbara was dubbed “most glamorous grandmother.” as a result of this.
