Karen Pence is on the receiving end of some flak. No, not because she insists that her husband, the vice president of the United States, not eat alone with other women. And it’s not because she once shilled the wildly unnecessary accessory that is “towel charms.” This time, people are crying “inappropriate” at what she wore in front of the King and Queen of Jordan on Monday: a black and pink, below-the-knee, strapless dress with two small cutouts below the neck.
In comments left on a photo tweeted by Mike Pence, several people claimed that Karen Pence’s dress was too risqué for the occasion.
“For God’s sake, get your wife a stylist and quick! So inappropriate next to the Queen of Jordan, who looked classy and understated,” one person wrote, while another agreed that “The dress is too short and tight for her.”
Many praised Queen Rania’s sleeved, A-line dress, however, with one commenter tweeting that “Yes so much more elegance could of [sic] been shown and wasn’t. But that’s the joke on all of us with this whole administration. But The Queen looked like a lady with some grace. And style.”
Pence, whose wardrobe typically consists of business-casual dresses or cardigans and trousers, didn’t seem to stray too far from her norm during Monday’s meeting. Perhaps it was the floral-embellished black belt or the strappy heeled sandals that set Twitter off.
There are many things worthy of critique when it comes to the Second Family and the current administration, fashion choices included. A woman over 60 showing her shoulders, many may be surprised to learn, is not one of them.
