Karoline Leavitt goes casual chic for Freedom 250 Grand Prix outing with husband Nicholas Riccio

The former press secretary posed alongside her husband, Nicholas Riccio, with an IndyCar and a giant American flag providing a dramatic backdrop. Riccio also embraced the relaxed dress code, pairing a light blue suit with a white T-shirt, sunglasses, sneakers and a Chanel bag. Leavitt summed up their day together with a simple caption on the photograph, “Sunday funday!”

Leavitt also shared a candid group selfie from inside the event, showing herself and Riccio seated with fellow attendees as they watched the race. Still sporting her sunglasses and pink bag, Leavitt smiled for the camera as the group settled into their trackside seats.

Leavitt's weekend celebrations also came with a particularly fitting sweet surprise: an elaborate cake modeled after a presidential lectern. The remarkably detailed creation featured a wood-effect base, microphones and a blue front panel bearing a replica of the presidential seal. A small banner at its base read, “Happy Birthday Karoline.” Leavitt was clearly impressed, writing that Katie Miller “knows how to throw a party” and calling the creation from Fluffy Thoughts Cakes “the coolest cake ever!!!!”

The treats continued with cookies that appeared tailor-made for a departing press secretary. One was decorated to resemble a lectern complete with two microphones, while another carried the cheeky message “No more questions," an unmistakable reference to the exchanges that have defined Leavitt's tenure in the White House briefing room. Leavitt appeared delighted by the personalized touch, writing, “And these cookies! Just perfection.” The playful treats made for a fitting final flourish as Leavitt approaches the end of her time as Trump's chief White House spokesperson.
