Fashion is not at the forefront of everyone’s minds at the State of the Union address, butand Dr. Jill Biden took the opportunity to show support for Ukraine with their clothing. While President Joe Biden praised Ukraine’s bravery and outlined the United States’ position on the conflict, many attendees wore outfits of yellow and blue, the colours of the Ukrainian flag. As for the first lady, she wore her support for the country on her sleeve.
Dr. Biden’s indigo silk dress from the New York-based label LaPointe had a sunflower embroidered into the wrist. It’s not only the national flower of the country, but has also become a symbol of the resistance against the invasion.
