For his footwear, John Fetterman, a senator from Pennsylvania, chose sneakers.

However, The New York Post reported that this is the ‘traditional fashion style’ of the 55-year-old senator.

On the other hand, everyone else attended the inauguration in formal attire, The New York Post added.

During the ceremony, Fetterman sat in the front row, his legs comfortably stretched, as dignitaries filed into the US Capitol for a function which would have otherwise taken place on the west front of the US Capitol in Washington D.C.

This means that for the first time in 40 years, the inauguration ceremony of a US President-elect was held indoors. In 1985, Republican Ronald Reagan's second swearing-in was shifted indoors when the afternoon wind chill fell into the range of minus 10 to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 23 to minus 29 degrees Celsius).

Monday's forecast for Washington was for a temperature at the time of Trump's swearing-in around 19 F (minus 7 degrees Celsius).

On January 17, the Republican declared that because of ‘an Arctic blast sweeping the country, I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way.’

"Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda," Trump had added.
