Traditionally, the President-elect parades alongside his spouse, but Rousseff is divorced. Nevertheless, at the inauguration, Rousseff changed her mind and took daughter Paula to parade with her. The news portal G1, which accompanied the rehearsal, anticipated that the inauguration would be "quite a feminine party". Important female figures in Brazil's history were honored with panels spread across the Monumental Axis. The Ministry of Culture organized the cultural part of the inauguration, having provided a budget
