Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s talented lady friend, Lauren Sanchez, has formidably revealed herself as an icon of American fashion and the physical embodiment of national restoration under President Donald Trump, a Washington Free Beacon analysis has found.
Sanchez stole the show on Monday at Trump’s inauguration ceremony, exuding female empowerment in a “suffragette white” breasted pantsuit and lacy corset by Alexander McQueen. It was a modern (and slightly sexier) take on the iconic outfit Hillary Clinton wore during her acceptance speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, which was widely praised by journalists and fashion experts for its feminist symbolism. More than a century ago, the courageous women who marched in the suffrage movement wore white, Glamour magazine explained, because they believed it mirrored the “purity of their cause.”
“Though the discussion around white and the suffragists began in the summer when Mrs. Clinton wore an ivory Ralph Lauren pantsuit to accept her nomination at the Democratic National Convention, both movements really coalesced after her appearance in another white Ralph Lauren pantsuit—with a slightly raised collar and off-center buttons that sparked comparisons to Star Trek and supreme beings—in the third presidential debate in October. Since then the white suit, either as a whole or simply as a white garment, has come to symbolize something greater than merely a piece of clothing,” Vanessa Friedman, chief fashion critic at the New York Times, wrote in November 2016. (Friedman has yet to publish an analysis of Sanchez’s equally iconic political statement at the inauguration.)
In addition to honoring the past and celebrating women’s rights, Sanchez was heralding the restoration of American greatness under President Trump, who vowed in his Inaugural Address to revitalize America’s optimism and sense of wonder. Trump did not say so explicitly, but he strongly implied that America would never be great again so long as women are too bashful to expose their breasts in public, and men are too ashamed to look at them.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg did his best to embrace Trump’s call to action.
“After all we have been through together,” Trump said, “we stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history.” He promised to bring “a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable.” Sanchez’s revealing display was more than a fashion choice, it was a reminder that Trump is precisely the sort of leader the suffragettes would have wanted. Even Hillary Clinton, who also attended the inauguration, would have to agree. You’ll never read that in the New York Times, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
America is back, baby.
