What Celebrities Wore During the 2016 Election
This was a tough week. Post election, there were protests, racist incidents, and feelings of fear — and getting dressed in the morning was more difficult than ever. Luckily, we weren't the only ones who felt that way. This week, somehow all of our favorite fashion stars managed to provide a glimmer of inspiration, pulling off styles that both looked amazing and channeled the way we were all feeling. Gigi Hadid sported head-to-toe black, Solange rocked a silver pantsuit, and Lady Gaga, of course, wore a DIY "Love Trumps Hate" shirt out protesting.
Click ahead to see all the best looks of the week for inspiration for the days to come — or, maybe, just a break from reading the news.
