For President-elect Joe Biden's hometown victory speech in November 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware, Dr. Jill Biden chose to wear a creation from Oscar de la Renta. She likely did so in the spirit of fellow first ladies Jacqueline Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama, all of whom chose to wear his garments for special occasions, states Footwear News.
Dr. Biden looked her best after dressing in the storied Dominican designer's frock featuring elbow-length sleeves and embroidered pink, yellow, and orange flowers placed against a navy blue background. For the joyous event held at Chase Center, Dr. Biden happily celebrated her husband's big win while looking proud in the pricey frock, which cost $5,690 and which sold out "in a matter of hours," stated Insider. She paired the evocative dress with pink heels topped by floppy pink bows from Jimmy Choo. Called the "Katience" pumps, these shoes were likely a nod to 1960s high fashion (via Footwear News).
Months later, and just before the G7 Summit in 2021, Jill Biden called on the designer dress to do double duty while she was in England when she donned the Oscar de la Renta dress again to attend a performance at Cornwall's Minack Theatre alongside Carrie Johnson and Brigette Macron, according to Daily Mail. This time, Dr. Biden sported flats since the occasion called for climbing the steep steps of this century-old, cliffside open-air entertainment complex that juts out into the sea.
