Jill Biden, 71, stood out in the crowd at the State of the Union address wearing a bright purple dress. The smart gown was matched with gold necklaces and bracelets.
To match her purple dress, with a belt and notched lapel details, when heading outside the First Lady wore purple leather gloves. She wore black slingback heels and a black coat to battle the cold in Washington.
The significance of the colour was not lost on many. The colour is the result of red and blue, the colour of the Republican and Democrat parties respectively.
Joe Biden spoke about bipartisan cooperation in his speech, and Jill’s dress choice may have been a nod to the message. The president said: “We’re often told that Democrats and Republicans can’t work together. But over these past two years, we proved the cynics and the naysayers wrong.”
However, the president was later heckled by his rival party when turned his speech to the debt limit. Biden was booed by House Republicans including congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who shouted “liar”.
