Berlin (dpa) - olive-colored parka, knitted gloves, glasses, mouth and nose cover - and the now world-famous "grumpy chic" style of US Senator Bernie Sanders (79) is ready.
Despite all the planning and symbolism of the inauguration of the new US President Joe Biden - in the end, it was the more pragmatic outfit of the left-wing Democrat politician from the state of Vermont that overtook everyone else in terms of Internet hype.
The snapshot of Sanders on the day of Biden's inauguration was posted by thousands of users and many celebrities in different environments on the Internet.
For example, "Deadpool" actor Ryan Reynolds (44) published a photo montage of the unequal duo on Instagram.
In it, the muscle man in his red and black costume and the politician sit in harmony on a railing with folded arms and thick knitted gloves.

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker (55) also placed Sanders in a group photo from the hit series "Sex and the City".
In the photo montage, the politician joins Parker and her co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.
The Elbphilharmonie showed a picture of the empty Great Hall on its official account, with the former US presidential candidate sitting in the middle of it on the stage: “Waiting for concerts with an audience!
#BernieSanders », it said.
The German top model Toni Garrn (28) imitated the entire look.
On Instagram, she was sitting in front of a statue in a Bernie outfit, and wrote: "Certainly the easiest trend I've ever had to follow".
The 79-year-old's team reacted to the hype, which was still going on for days, with humor: On the website of Sanders' campaign, the photo in the “grumpy chic” look can now also be bought on items of clothing.
The sweater is $ 45 and the shirt is $ 27.
The proceeds are to be donated entirely to the aid organization “Meals on Wheels” in the state of Vermont, which delivers food to those in need.

After a short time, statement sweaters and t-shirts were sold out.
The website asks for patience - it could take four to eight weeks for fans to receive their articles.
