Donald Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt is not only very crisp in her briefings but also makes a bold fashion statement; here's how

In her press briefings, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been making a very clear statement, which centers on her Christian beliefs. The 27-year-old has also worn a cross necklace to most press briefings and other media events since joining the administration. She seems to have a variety of them, too, as reported by the Daily Mail.

She paired her cross necklace with a berry-colored two-piece suit from Zara with a belted back for her very first press briefing on January 28.

She accessorized the stunning ensemble with a pair of sophisticated diamond stud earrings and what looked to be Jimmy Choo's $730 Black Bing heels.


The shoes had a pointed toe and were made of black patent leather with crystals around the top. She wore her gold cross necklace, the focal point of her navy blue, pinstriped pantsuit, earlier today.

She accessorized with a delicate tennis bracelet and a pink-faced watch on her wrist. During recent TV appearances, such as her interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News last week, Leavitt has also been seen sporting her signature necklace.

Leavitt's appearance is also not new. Over the years, she has also been spotted sporting the accessory in Instagram photos, such as in a 2023 video in which she criticized Democrats for indicting Donald Trump.

What role does faith play in her life?

In a recent interview with The New York Post, Leavitt defended California Democrat Rep. Dave Min, who called her a 'fake Christian', calling her faith a significant part of her life. She emphasized that her faith, marriage, and family life are everything to her. Leavitt is married to Nicholas Riccio, who founded Riccio Enterprises LLC and manages beachfront houses in New Hampshire. They have a six-month-old son, Nicholas 'Niko' Robert.

Leavitt was on maternity leave when Donald Trump was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania, which encouraged her return to work just four days after giving birth. She spoke about how her faith relates to the value she wants to instill in her son, a strong sense of confidence.
