The poignant messages Jill Biden sends with her clothes
by Lillian Gissen For Dailymail.Com · Mail OnlineYou can certainly make a statement with your choice of clothing, and First Lady Jill Biden appeared to do just that when she stepped out to vote on Tuesday.
The mother-of-one, 73, was spotted at the ballot wearing a bright red pantsuit, and many people on the web are convinced that she was sending a bold message with her ensemble.
If so, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that Jill made a statement with her outfits.
In fact, the former educator has donned items that contained hidden meanings numerous times in the past.
Just one day prior, she re-wore a very-controversial gown while out and about in North Carolina that had previously divided the internet thanks to its powerful message.
Back in 2021, when her husband Joe Biden was inaugurated as the President of the United States, she opted for a custom gown that contained a secret tribute sewn into it.
In addition, she once wore a jacket with a word etched onto the back that many believed was a swipe at Donald Trump's wife Melania Trump.
As the internet continues to debate her latest look, FEMAIL has rounded up all the other times that Jill sent a secret message with her clothes.
Jill left many social media users scratching their heads with her outfit when she went to vote on Tuesday
Jill left many social media users scratching their heads with her outfit choice when she hit the polls to vote on Tuesday.
She opted for a bright red pantsuit - despite red being the color often associated with the Republican party - and people on the web wondered if it was a snub towards Kamala.
Her eyebrow-raising outfit choice came after news hit the web that she and her husband, Joe, will not attend Kamala's Election Night watch party.
'As the wife of a Democrat politician there's no was she doesn't know how this looks,' one person wrote. 'Joe and Jill are pissed.'
'Jill Biden knows exactly what she did. Her outfit was on purpose,' another theorized.
Someone else used the hashtag #DemocratsForTrump and suggested Jill was 'sending them a sign.'
The First Lady re-wore her controversial 'vote' dress while campaigning for Kamala on Monday
When Jill arrived in Durnham, North Carolina, to campaign for Kamala on Monday, she re-wore a very controversial dress that previously divided the web thanks to its strong message.
The First Lady donned a custom navy blue frock from designer Christian Siriano, which has the word 'vote' written all over it, along with a matching blazer.
She previously stepped out in the gown when she attended a rally following the presidential debate between her husband, Joe, and Donald in June.
At the time, the dress drew a mixed reaction on social media, with some users loving the message and others admitting that they were not pleased.
'I was very offended that Jill Biden wore that "vote" dress. As if we need to be reminded by an article of clothing. It was very narcissistic,' one user complained.
'Jill Biden with the VOTE dress. YASSS,' exclaimed another.
Jill donned a gown to the inaugural concert that paid tribute to every state and territory in the United States
When Jill's husband, Joe, was inaugurated as the President of the United States in 2021, she chose an outfit that had multiple hidden tributes sewn into it.
The mother-of-one wore an ocean blue tweed coat and dress by New York-based designer Alexandra O'Neill to the inauguration, before switching into a custom ivory Gabriela Hearst gown and matching jacket for the concert.
The latter contained floral embroidery that represented 'the federal flowers from every state and territory of the United States of America,' a press release from the label revealed.
'The message of "unity" is the main inspiration for the creation of the ensemble,' the brand wrote. 'Unity makes strength and it is needed for the road ahead.
The designer added that the gown also paid homage to Jill's home state, explaining: 'The Delaware flower is positioned at the heart level of The First Lady, from there, all the other flowers branch out.'
And the flowers weren't the outfit's only secret message, as her coat also featured a hidden quote from Benjamin Franklin.
'Inside of the coat, representing the lifelong calling and service of Dr. Biden as an educator, is a hand embroidery on the lining with a quote from Founding Father Benjamin Franklin,' Gabriela Hearst added.
'"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."'
Some thought Jill's 'love' jacket was a swipe at Melania Trump's infamous 'I really don't care, do you?' coat
Jill made headlines when she attended a lunch with then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his wife, and Joe Biden in June 2021 and donned a Zadig & Voltaire blazer with the word 'love' etched onto the back.
Some wondered if she was taking a swipe at her predecessor Melania and her infamous jacket, which featured the words 'I really don't care, do you?' splashed across it.
Melania, who wore the coat in 2018, later said that the message was 'for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticizing her.'
Commenting on her own fashion choice, Jill said: 'We’re bringing love from America… This is a global conference, we’re trying to bring unity across the globe.
'I think it’s needed right now, that people feel a sense of unity from all the countries and feel a sense hope after this year of the pandemic.'
She paired the coat with a Brandon Maxwell Resort polka dot dress and black high heels.
