Karoline Leavitt’s Tight Off-Shoulder Dress At State Visit Sends Etiquette Alarms Ringing

Weeks following her attendance at a U.K. event alongside former President Donald Trump, where fans critiqued her revealing dress, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has reignited discussions. On October 15, Leavitt posted an image on Instagram showcasing her fitted, off-the-shoulder gown worn during the state dinner at Windsor Castle. Social media flooded with reactions regarding her attire. Critics swiftly commented, with one noting, “A bare shoulder and a snug dress contravenes royal dining etiquette.” Another user provocatively remarked, “Ewww KKKaroline, put on a bra. No one wants to see you sagging.” Her 32-year age gap with husband Nicholas Riccio, 60, has also sparked debate online. Amid discussions of her fashion choices, Leavitt previously faced backlash for her bright green press conference outfit, deemed inappropriate. This current scandal adds to Leavitt's evolving list of public debates, solidifying her status as a prominent figure of criticism and conversation.
