Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday was full of powerful style statements, from Vice President Kamala Harris' symbolic outfits to Michelle Obama's stunning look.

Harris' great-nieces - Amara Ajagu, 4, and Leela Ajagu, 2 - even had a fun style moment of their own during the parade-route walk. Their mom, Meena Harris, revealed on Instagram that they both wore custom, faux-fur leopard coats designed to look like one the vice president had as a child for the event.

"Special coats to look just like Auntie's," Meena wrote on Instagram.

The coats were custom-made by iloveplum, a female-founded, childrenswear startup located in New York City. A representative for the brand told Insider that a designer spent the past weekend sewing the coats by hand for the girls to wear on Inauguration Day.

This isn't the first time Harris' great-nieces have paid tribute to their "auntie" with their outfits.

In November, Amara and Leela were dressed in all-white outfits to match the pantsuit Harris wore during her victory speech. Their looks included matching cardigans, floral dresses, white tights, and Doc Martens.
