Overview
- In a New York Times interview reported this week, Sánchez said she believed her 2025 inauguration outfit was conservative and that she was "super proud" of it.
- The look combined a white Schiaparelli coat and a white Alexander McQueen pantsuit over lace, which became more exposed indoors and in photos from seats behind the president.
- She also said some of the criticism felt rooted in racial stereotypes, adding "It’s the shape of my body" and "I’m Latin," according to the Times.
- Reaction at the time included online memes and a rebuke from host Megyn Kelly, who said attention should be on the inauguration rather than Sánchez’s body.
- Sánchez liked supportive comments on social media and now boils her takeaway from this and a 2024 White House state-dinner flap down to one line: "No lace at the White House. Noted."
