Ahead of Trump’s anticipated inauguration, the soon-to-be Vice President, JD Vance and his wife, Usha, hosted an exclusive, glitzy bash that saw several MAGA legends in attendance.
The star-studded Cabinet Reception and Vice President’s Dinner saw the former Ohio senator and his wife dressed to the nines at the glamourous event set in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, on Saturday night.
The Vice President-elect and his dolled-up wife were even spotted sharing a loving kiss before the he delivered 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 adult children and their partners.
Don Jr. joined in on the festivities alongside his controversial new girlfriend Bettina Anderson. Taking to Instagram, the soon-to-be president’s son showed off his MAGA-themed buttons on his tux.
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 flashed rare smiles at each other as they watched an earlier firework 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 major players in the Trump orbit were in attendance, including daughter and former senior advisor Ivanka, who was alongside 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 will take place on Monday, January 20, and will be filled with a flurry of balls, musical acts, and political conferences throughout the weekend.
The frigid 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 be at 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 deliver his inaugural address from there.
While photographers crammed inside the packed event, several others took to social media to share their own accounts of the spectacular soiree with their followers. Check out all the behind-the-scenes photos below.
