The Biden-Harris inauguration was one of the most stylish the world has seen, with many opting for monochromatic outfits and symbolic purple for the occasion. However, one outfit in particular gained the attention of many - Ella Emhoff's stunning Miu Miu coat.

The 21-year-old textile designer is a student at Parsons School of Design in New York City and is also the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Italian design house Miu Miu's statement Shetland Pied De Poule coat, which is a part of its Fall/Winter 2020 collection, came complete with embellished shoulders, a cinched waistline, and a crisp white oversized peter pan collar.

Underneath, Emhoff wore a long burgundy dress by New York designer Batsheva.

Emhoff is already being called a fashion icon in her own right, and people took to social media to react to the affectionately named "First daughter of Bushwick's" style.

One Twitter user labeled Emhoff a "style icon," while another tweeted: "I'm very excited for four years of Ella Emhoff."

Emhoff also captured the hearts of many because of her "eyebrow waggle" during the ceremony.

Speaking with Vogue ahead of the inauguration, Emhoff said she wanted to wear an outfit that allowed her to embrace her feminine side, and that her mood board included "a lot of scalloped collars and big silhouette shoulders and small buttons."

"This momentous of an event deserves a momentous outfit," she added.

Emhoff is already a designer, creating vibrant knitted items, including long high-waisted pants, biker shorts, hats, and household items like cushions. In an Instagram post from August, she thanked customers for their commissions, adding that "I love to knit and I love to see people in said knits."
