Ahead of Trump's expected inauguration, Vice President-elect JD Vance and his wife Usha hosted an exclusive, glitzy bash attended by several MAGA legends.
At the star-studded Cabinet reception and vice president's dinner, the former Ohio senator and his wife were dressed to the nines at the glamorous event held Saturday evening at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
The vice president-elect and his dolled-up wife were even spotted sharing a loving kiss before he gave a moving speech to the celebrity crowd.
The big wig event included Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cheryl Hines, Marco Rubio and the entire Trump clan, including all of President-elect Donald Trump's adult children and their spouses.
Don Jr. took part in the festivities alongside his controversial new girlfriend Bettina Anderson. On Instagram, the son of the president-elect showed off his MAGA buttons on his tuxedo.
Besides Don Jr. The Republican leader's daughter Tiffany was in attendance 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 each other a rare smile 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 key players in the Trump world were in attendance, including daughter and former senior adviser Ivanka, who attended with her husband, Jared Kushner.
Many favorites from Trump's playlist washed over attendees, including “YMCA” — which The Village People will play live for attendees 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 performances and political conferences all weekend long.
The frigid weather forecast has also led to some changes to the 2025 schedule compared to its 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. From there he will also deliver his inaugural speech.
As photographers gathered at the packed event, several others took to social media to share their own stories of the spectacular soiree with their followers. Check out all the behind-the-scenes photos below.
