Not just once, but twice did Sanders try to make color blocking happen
While you can’t blame anyone for trying to be a fashion icon, it’s just not in the cards for Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She has never — even when she was in front of the cameras all the time during Trump 1.0 — worn anything that would be considered even remotely attractive or in style. After all, we’re talking about a woman who dug her claws into the leather look and hung on for dear life for far too long. So, naturally, this dress is 100% par for the course for Sanders. But what’s more confusing about this horrific get-up is that she wore it twice in a matter of two months.
Arkansas is the place where children once barred from the schoolhouse are now memorialized in bronze at the statehouse, and it was my honor today to officially open the Governor’s Mansion for the first time since taking office to celebrate #MLKDay pic.twitter.com/6FAd89Rbjz

After an event at the Governor’s Mansion on January 16, 2023, Huckabee showed up in the same dress at the Capitol on March 31, 2023 to declare a State of Emergency following severe weather in Arkansas. Apparently, she thinks it’s a good look for her, despite it being anything but. If the color blocking aspect of the dress wasn’t enough to make one cry or cringe, the pleats and billowy sleeves just take it to a whole new level: It’s not simply a fashion faux pas, but a national disgrace.
While Sanders hasn’t been photographed in the dress since 2023, we probably haven’t seen the last of it. It wasn’t in style back in 2023, and it certainly won’t be trending in 2025 either. But, as Sanders’ bravado has shown us over the years, when you have that much hubris and delusion in your back pocket, you can convince yourself you look hot in anything.
