Lou Henry Hoover

When Herbert Hoover met her at Stanford University, she was the only female Geology major. Lou Hoover is one of the “best dressed women.” She was the first First Lady to be featured in Vogue magazine. She also made it a point to wear American-made clothing rather than anything imported from abroad, as many fashionistas did at the time. She also utilized her fashion to promote the cotton textile sector, so she wears gowns made of cotton. Her debut outfit was a majestic yet modest silk crepe evening gown embellished with silver thread brocade.

Before the 2017 Presidential Inauguration, then-Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden met then-Vice President-elect Mike Pence and his wife, Karen Pence, at the White House, where both ladies dazzled. Pence wore a more modest flowery gown with a black coat, while Biden ventured to wear a flash of bright pink to commemorate the occasion. Her shift dress with neutral shoes is both beautiful and approachable.
