On March 31, 2025, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made headlines for her green ankle-length dress
with a knee-high slit, worn during a briefing on the North Lawn. Paired with brown heels, the outfit quickly became a social media topic.

Backlash and Commentary
Online reactions were swift and mixed. Critics claimed the dress didn’t fit properly, joking it was “on backward” or

“too tight.” Others suggested she needed a stylist, while some offered empathy. One user wrote, “I can’t fit into my clothes from five years ago either.”
Opening Up About Her Life

In a February interview on The Megyn Kelly Show, Leavitt addressed her relationship with husband Nicholas Riccio,
32 years her senior. Now 27, she said they met during her congressional campaign and formed a deep bond.
She called him her best friend and praised him as a devoted father to their son.
