After only a few weeks in the White House, the first lady is ennobled as a fashion icon. Jill Biden graces the current cover of “Vogue”. An honor that her predecessor was denied.
Her predecessor was denied this honor: Melania Trump waited in vain for the call from New York. The former first lady, who portrayed herself as a fashion icon, never graced the cover of the world’s most famous fashion magazine. Her successor is now receiving this honor after only six months in office: Jill Biden graces the cover of the new one “Vogue”.
“A first lady for all of us: out and about with Dr. Jill Biden”is the title of the magazine published on Tuesday. The cover photo shows the 70-year-old in a dark blue dress printed with flowers by designer Oscar de la Renta on a balcony of the White House with the Washington Monument in the background.
The photos were taken by star photographer Annie Leibovitz, who was allowed to accompany Biden for several weeks. It shows the first lady in very private moments – for example together with husband Joe on the terrace of the Oval Office in the White House, but also during her many duty appointments and in her study. Biden wears blouses by Ralph Lauren or a dress by Ralph Lauren and shows her fondness for American designers.
Biden embodies the American housewife’s dream of fashion
This is in contrast to the former First Lady Melania Trump, who also liked to show off with clothes by French or Italian designers. The message behind Biden’s choice of clothes: Not too brave, not too extravagant. I am down to earth but chic. The American housewife’s dream.
Biden joins a long tradition of first ladies on the “Vogue”-Cover. Michelle Obama (even several times), Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton all graced the cover of the fashion magazine. Just not Melania Trump. The former model from Slovenia was denied the accolade of fashion icon.
In February, Vice President Kamala Harris was already at the “Vogue” to see. At that time there was criticism of the pictures that Harris showed in a blazer and sneakers. Afterwards, this seemed too casual to her advisors. A mistake Biden didn’t make.
