President Joe Biden took office on Wednesday, but a smattering of coats were the ones who took center stage.

As family, friends and politicians gathered at the U.S. Capitol to watch Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris get sworn in, viewers couldn’t help but get excited about the outfits of some attendees. Cold winter temperatures prompted a flurry of outerwear, which made many people pause their thoughts about the incoming administration and instead wonder: “Who made that confection?”
