Karoline Leavitt’s latest press briefing made headlines, but not for the reasons she intended. The White House Press Secretary’s chic, curve-hugging green dress—with its daring slit—became an instant social media lightning rod, reigniting tired debates about women’s attire in professional spaces.
Some argued the look was “unpresidential,” while others applauded her for rejecting outdated dress codes. Leavitt, no stranger to public scrutiny, paid little mind to the discourse. After all, she’s weathered far more personal questions—like those about her marriage to much-older businessman Nicholas Riccio, with whom she shares a young son.
Between White House duties, the 26-year-old makes time for family, often sharing candid moments with her husband and their toddler. Recent posts highlight their son’s striking resemblance to his father, as well as Leavitt’s clear devotion to both her career and home life. The dress drama? Just background noise to a woman focused on bigger things.
