On January 20, 2025By Littum

Ahead of Trump’s anticipated inauguration, soon-to-be Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, hosted an exclusive, glittering party attended by several MAGA legends.

The star-studded cabinet reception and vice presidential dinner saw the former Ohio senator and his wife dressed to the nines at the glamorous event set at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, on Saturday night.

The Vice President-elect and his doll wife were even seen sharing a loving kiss before delivering a moving speech to the famous crowd.

The big wig event saw the likes of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cheryl Hines, Marco Rubio, as well as the entire Trump clan, including all of President-elect Donald Trump’s grown children and their partners.

Don Jr. attended the festivities with his controversial new girlfriend Bettina Anderson. Taking to Instagram, the soon-to-be president’s son showed off his MAGA-themed buttons on his tuxedo.

In addition to Don Jr. the GOP leader’s daughter Tiffany was there with husband Michael Boulos, as well as son Eric and wife Lara.

But all eyes were on Donald Trump and soon-to-be first lady Melania, who shared rare smiles as they watched an earlier fireworks display at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia — about 30 miles outside Washington.

In addition to the soon-to-be first couple, many of the big players in the Trump circle were in attendance, including daughter and former senior adviser Ivanka, who was with her husband, Jared Kushner.

Many favorites from Trump’s playlist washed over those in attendance, including ‘YMCA’ – which The Village People will play for those gathered live this weekend – and ‘A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World’.

The presidential inauguration takes place on Monday, January 20 and will be filled with a flurry of balls, musical acts and political conferences throughout the weekend.

The cold weather forecast has also led to some changes to the 2025 program compared to his first inauguration in 2017, as temperatures in DC are expected to reach a high of 23 degrees Fahrenheit, with a low of just 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

As a result, Trump posted on Truth Social that the swearing-in ceremony would be moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda. He will also give his opening speech from there.

As photographers crowded the packed event, several others took to social media to share their own accounts of the spectacular day of celebration with their followers. See all the behind-the-scenes photos below.
