Dr. Jill Biden was outfitted in true blue style for the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act this week. The Act, which requires all 50 U.S. states to recognize all marriages — regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation — and provide same-sex couples with federal benefits, was signed by President Joe Biden on Tuesday.

The first lady arrived on the White House’s South Lawn with the president and numerous Senators, as well as House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris, wearing a monochrome blue outfit by Brandon Maxwell. Her light blue ensemble featured a wool sheath midi dress and a matching long-sleeved coat. Accenting the set was a soft cobalt blue scarf, as well as cream floral post earrings.

When it came to footwear, the Northern Virginia Community College professor opted for her go-to winter shoes: suede boots. Though they weren’t visible, her close-toed style included knee-high uppers crafted from dark gray suede, providing her outfit with a two-toned appearance based in cool hues. Short heels likely totaling 1 to 2 inches in height finished the pair with a walkable height boost.

For footwear, Jill’s choices are classic and sharp. The first lady regularly wears versatile heels and boots in nude, black and even embellished tones from Manolo Blahnik, Valentino and Stuart Weitzman. Jewel-toned and metallic pointed-toe pumps are also a go-to for her brighter ensembles, from labels including SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker, Prada and Jimmy Choo. In warmer months, she can also be seen in espadrille wedge sandals by Loeffler Randall.
