Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, recently turned heads during a press briefing—but not just for her statements. Her emerald green, body-hugging dress with a thigh-high slit became an unexpected talking point across social media, with critics divided over whether the stylish choice was appropriate for her official role.
While some argued that her form-fitting ensemble was “too bold” for a White House setting, others defended her fashion freedom, pointing out that professional attire shouldn’t be limited to boxy suits. Amid the online chatter, Leavitt remained unfazed, continuing her duties without addressing the controversy directly.
Beyond politics, the 26-year-old press secretary has been open about her personal life, including her marriage to businessman Nicholas Riccio, who is three decades her senior. The couple, who met during her congressional campaign, welcomed their son Nicholas Robert in 2024. Leavitt frequently shares glimpses of their family life, from wedding throwbacks to sweet moments with their toddler—who, as fans note, is the spitting image of his father.
While critics may focus on her wardrobe, Leavitt keeps her priorities clear: her growing family and her high-stakes role at the White House.
