Did you miss Monday's inaugural ceremonies? Never fear, the internet captured all the important ... well, all the buzz-worthy moments.
Michelle rolls her eyes, wears a stunning red gown
According to social analytics service Topsy, the buzz on Twitter around the First Lady's dress Monday night was "dazzles."
Michelle Obama wore a jewel-box red gown by designer Jason Wu?the same designer she wore four years ago to the first inaugural.
Designers are not told in advance if their work will be worn; hence Wu's reaction:
If anything could eclipse that dress, it was the First Lady's eye roll at the official luncheon?caught by Tumblr blogger Mattyrab. The image was quickly gif'ed.
Is the First Lady expressing exasperation at House Speaker John Boehner? Did she just catch word that the lunch clocked in at a reported 3,000 calories? The mystery is half the fun.
Scalia steals the hat title from Aretha
"Teenage Dream" singer Katy Perry brought a miniature version of Aretha Franklin's 2009 inaugural hat with her to the ceremonies:

Volume peaked when the president delivered the line, "We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, name calling as a substitute for debate" at 27,795 tweets per minute.
Beyonce's photo bombs
The star previewed her performance the night before on Tumblr and Instagram, sharing photos of her rehearsal:

Space ships and D.C. statehood at the parade
We got a taste of the parade early thanks to NASA, which shared pictures of the Mars Curiosity Rover and Orion floats traveling to the capital on Flickr. The images were trending on Twitter Sunday, according to Topsy.
Monday morning, the Mars Curiosity account (which is written in the "voice" of the spacecraft, and usually limits itself to updates on the exploration of the red planet) gave a shootout to its Earth-bound doppleganger:
And D.C. Mayor Vince Gray made a political statement during the parade, sharing a photo of his sign calling for D.C. statehood:
