‘Is That a Miniskirt?’: Karoline Leavitt’s Dress Draws Attention at Press Briefing

This week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took the podium to discuss President Donald Trump's stance on the Washington Commanders' name change, yet social media redirected the focus to her outfit. Critics immediately pounced, debating whether the 27-year-old's wardrobe was suitable for her prominent position. During the July 21 press conference, Leavitt donned a gray and black tweed mini dress adorned with silver buttons, a choice that drew ire as it fell short of conventional professional attire standards. Social media reactions ranged from bewilderment to direct jabs, with followers questioning her maturity in fashion choices. The scrutiny extended beyond just her dress; even her demeanor during press events faced examination. Since her tenure began, Leavitt has experienced similar criticism, with past outfits igniting debate over appropriate professional attire. Unlike her previous casual style, her current polished looks have triggered discussions about authenticity against the backdrop of her recent marriage to 60-year-old Nicholas Riccio, deepening public intrigue.
