Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania made a striking appearance at Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony as the 47th President of the United States. Held indoors at the US Capitol Rotunda due to freezing weather, the event saw most attendees dressed in formal attire—except for Fetterman, who arrived in his signature casual ensemble: a black hoodie, gray shorts, and sneakers.
The 55-year-old senator stood out in the front row, appearing relaxed with his legs stretched out as the historic event unfolded. Despite the bitter cold outside, Fetterman seemed unfazed as he entered the Capitol building in his trademark outfit.
Fetterman has previously indicated a willingness to work with the Trump administration, following a recent meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago where he expressed openness to supporting some of the President's staffing choices.
Although widely recognized for his casual fashion choices, the senator has occasionally donned formal suits for Senate duties, adhering to chamber rules when presiding over votes. He has also been spotted in his now-iconic tuxedo hoodie at high-profile events, including last year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
Fetterman’s choice of attire at Trump’s inauguration highlights his unconventional approach to politics, continuing to draw attention both for his policy positions and unique sense of style.
