The First Lady's team acquired the dress from LaPointe's Pre-Fall 2022 collection, but added a sunflower detail as a tribute to Ukrainians, one of many symbols of support seen at the State of the Union address.
A unique detail, also believed to be a tribute, appears to have been added to the dress recently. An embroidered sunflower — the national flower of Ukraine and a growing symbol of its citizens’ resistance to Vladimir Putin’s invasion — could be seen on the right sleeve near the wrist. LaPointe’s representative confirmed that her studio did not produce this embellishment.
Democratic Representatives ahead of US President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address to Congress in the Capitol on March 01, 2022 in Washington, DC.Among Dr. Biden’s guests was Oksana Markarova, ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, who was one of many attendees holding a miniature flag of Ukraine in the House Chamber of the Capitol Building. Markarova put her hand on her heart when she was introduced by President Biden.
Dr. Biden was far from alone in signaling her support of Ukrainians via sartorial choices seen at the State of the Union. Among the women in attendance Tuesday, many wore one or both of the Ukraine flag’s shades of blue and yellow, including Senator Amy Klobuchar, Indiana representative Victoria Spartz, and Michigan representative Brenda Lawrence.
Many men in the audience likewise chose to take part in the night’s dominant color theme, wearing blue or yellow ties. California representative Eric Swalwell was among several people sporting scarves in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, while House minority leader Kevin McCarthy wore a Ukrainian lapel pin and pocket square.
The trend also extended into State of the Union coverage, with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace garnering attention on Twitter for the blue and yellow floral blouse she wore Tuesday night, which many assumed to be a sign of support for Ukrainians.
