For the most part, people were dressed for a somber affair in a sea of unremarkable navy and dark earth tones. However, one look that drew acknowledgment for its dramatic visual significance is the cowrie shell collar Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore around her neck.

The shells are often viewed as currency. However, they hold a deeper meaning, especially when worn during the inaugural ceremonies of President Donald Trump.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore cowrie shells to Trump's inauguration, but is there any significance to those shells beyond their aesthetics.

Elon Musk’s critics blast his ‘Fascist salute’ at inaugural event while Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wears symbolic cowrie shells.

While Justice Jackson has yet to explain the exact meaning of her Inauguration collar, the cowrie shell’s multiple meanings point to a sartorial expression of her dissent.

If you have to be somewhere you don’t want to be — like, say, the inauguration of Donald Trump — you may as well make it known you’re not down with the program. At least, that’s what it seems Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did.

Social media users compared the Supreme Court justice’s sartorial choice to one of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s most famous accessories.
