Jill Biden wears cursed dress a second time
When First Lady Jill Biden had worn the Christian Siriano dress during the presidential debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump on June 27, it garnered negative sentiments as fans, along with multiple outlets, criticized the outfit. The New York Times even claimed she wore the dress to grab attention.
The dress also did not bid well for her husband’s presidential campaign as the debate ended up being a disaster for him. It subsequently led him to cancel his reelection campaign and Kamala Harris took up the candidature.
Nevertheless, following Jill Biden's first appearance, designer Christian Siriano praised her look on X, per Daily Mail.
He wrote, “Dr Biden wearing my dress sends a clear message to us all. A vote for Biden is a vote for human and civil rights,” before adding, “As a young American brand and designer, what we can do is give our clothes a voice and I hope this speaks to you. Now let’s get to work!”
On Monday, Jill Biden restyled the dress as she wore a navy blue blazer on top of her dress while campaigning for Harris.

Another user added at that time, "I'll vote for Biden, but I was very offended that Jill Biden wore that "vote" dress. As if we need to be reminded by an article of clothing. It was very narcissistic."
