Karoline Leavitt’s Sudden Wardrobe Switch Has Social Media Buzzing About the Real Reason Why
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has fans speculating about what’s caused the recent switch up in her wardrobe.
Trump’s spokesperson has the internet buzzing after a cheeky photo of her in Daisy Dukes shorts that frequently recirculates online. The image has many wondering if the 28-year-old has left behind her tight-fitting clothing for good.
Leavitt is seen wearing a tight pair of Daisy Dukes in the picture with a snug-fitting yellow crop top that shows off her belly button. The picture appears to be at least several months old, and fans wonder if the 28-year-old Leavitt has left her tight-fighting clothing behind for good.
The selfie was shared on social media on October 21, and users quickly weighed in on Leavitt’s appearance. One fan thought the press secretary looked like she’d gained weight.
“Stress must be the reason she’s put on so much weight recently,” they wrote. “Time to hit the gym!”
Some called her “Ms. Piggy,” adding that “She’s the female version of Trump.”
Another said, “She’s an abomination. Liar Barbie. She will never be able to wash the stench of Trump off completely, and will have only herself to blame.”
Leavitt has come under fire not only for attire on and off the clock but also at global events. She accompanied Trump to the U.K., where she attended a state dinner wearing a one-shoulder dress that many felt was inappropriate for such a royal setting.
The press secretary has also been seen wearing a tight-fitting dress or skirt that hugs her body, such as the sleeveless green dress she wore during a media briefing with reporters back in July.
A month earlier In June, she was seen wearing an oversized pink suit with a tan shirt or camisole underneath in another video, stating five points about Trump’s policies.
In addition to growing chatter about her role in Trump’s administration and her changing wardrobe, Karoline Leavitt’s rumored age-gap relationship with a wealthy billionaire hasn’t gone unnoticed.
The mother of one has a toddler with her husband, 60-year-old Nicholas Riccio. The couple got married in January of 2025. Their son, Nicholas “Niko” Robert Riccio, was born in July of 2024.
She told the Post Run High podcast earlier this year that it is challenging to be a working mother.
“It’s an incredible challenge and it’s something I still face to this very day,” Leavitt said in April. “Having to deal with that balance of wanting to be the best you can in your job and being the best mother that you possibly can as well.”
