What did Jill Biden wear to meet Queen Elizabeth? The US first lady met Kate Middleton, Carrie and Boris Johnson at the G7 Summit, dressed in her signature sophisticated fashion
- Jill Biden’s ‘Love’ blazer by Zadig & Voltaire was interpreted as a counterpoint to former first lady Melania Trump’s ‘I don’t really care, do u’ Zara jacket
- While Melania rocked Chanel, Hermès and Dior, Jill flies the flag with smaller US brands, though she likes her Valentino pumps
Melania is known for mastering the newest looks and sky-high heels from big-name international fashion houses such as Chanel, Hermès, Dior, Celine, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino. Looking incredibly glamorous, she made her mark by becoming one of the most stylish first ladies in American history.
Jill Biden on the other hand goes for mature, sophisticated clothes that ooze comfort with the occasional playful touch, as with her fishnet tights when exiting Air Force One at Easter. At this year’s G7 Summit, she also made a clear fashion statement by electing to wear a majority of American brands – including some lesser-known names.
Here are some of the highlights from the American first lady’s visit to Cornwall and Windsor Castle.
When meeting Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, the first lady opted for a sky blue ensemble comprising of a single breasted blazer on top of a matching sheath dress – which she has worn before – from American brand Adam Lipps, and a pair of nude pumps from Italian maison Valentino.
The queen was dressed in a pink floral dress. The 95-year-old monarch, owner of one of the world’s largest collections of jewellery, wore a historically and diplomatically meaningful jewel, the Jardine Star Brooch. It’s a piece gifted by Lady Jardine in 1981, one she has worn at various occasions previously, including meetings with George H.W. Bush in 1993 and with his son, George W. Bush, in 2003.
