Following the Inauguration Day, during which all eyes were on Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and their respective families, Jill Biden was undoubtedly one of the absolute protagonists in terms of look, with her turquoise suit and matching mask: however, the new First Lady d’America collected even more positive (fashion) feedback on the occasion of the Inauguration concert, where the author and educator showed off a splendid and Gabriela Hearst signed the candidacy. Furthermore, as tradition dictates, Jill Biden showed off an elegant bouquet bracelet, also white, made up of gardenias. But why these flowers?
Jill Biden only recently unveiled it in an interview with the magazine People, explaining both the special meaning that flowers in general represented in her outfit, as a collective message to Americans, that the symbolism of the gardenias referring to his long marriage with the President of the United States. In fact, the botanical-themed embroideries of the First Lady, in the look created by Gabriela Hearst, want to represent the unity of the American people: both the dress and the cashmere coat are characterized by the official flowers of all 50 states: “The Delaware flower is positioned at the level of the First Lady’s heart, and all the other flowers branch off from there” wrote the fashion designer on Instagram. Also specifying that the lining of the coat was embroidered with a quote from Benjamin Franklin, as a literary homage to Jill Biden’s passion for teaching: «Tell me and I forget. Teach me and remember. Involve me and I learn ».
White gardenias, on the other hand, have a even more intimate meaning: Joe Biden in fact often buys his wife white gardenias because they are his favorite flower. A tradition that has been going on for decades and that began on the occasion of a Valentine’s Day, as the presidential couple told, many years ago. Jill Biden then expressed her surprise at seeing so much media attention to this, for her, baby style detail: “I was surprised that people saw it on my wrist, but I guess you can see everything with a zoom lens.” A floral accessory that on the one hand celebrates the long Biden marriage, but on the other hand, follows a common thread between decades: before the current First Lady, in fact, also Betty Ford in 1973, and twenty years earlier Mamie Eisenhower, they had sported bouquet bracelets on the day of the inauguration. A tradition, without a shadow of a doubt, but to be reinterpreted and with which tell your own personal story.
