Jill Biden's Presidential Address Outfit Has More Than One Special Meaning

The First Lady arrived to Joe Biden's presidential address in a dress that spoke volumes.

Snip
Since coming into the position of first lady 100 days ago, Dr. Jill Biden has proven that she likes to send messages through her outfits. So For Joe Biden's first presidential address to Congress, she opted for a dress with several special meanings.

On Wednesday night, she stepped into the building wearing a blue dress by Gabriela Hearst. The sleeves were sheer and featured 50 embroidered flowers, representing the United States of America. On her mask, there was a coordinating floral embroidery.

If the dress looks familiar, it's because she wore a white version by the same designer for the Inauguration party. (It's totally possible that it's a dyed version of the exact one).

It probably looks even better in person. The detail work will be more visible up close.	Irish_Dem	Apr 2021	#13
I like it better in the black then in white. The black is more dramatic, but both are beautiful. 🙂	Raine	Apr 2021	#16

1. Wow. Great dress. I hope we find out if it is another version or if her inauguration dress was dyed.

I don't think they would dye the embroidered part, so they would have had to take the dress apart first.
Would like to know what they did.
