By now, we know Jill Biden is a fan of a meaningful sartorial choice [1], and her latest outfit has people wondering if she was trying to send a message. On June 10, during a meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife, Carrie Johnson, ahead of the 47th G7 summit, the first lady wore a Zadig & Voltaire jacket that read "LOVE" in rhinestone lettering on the back. The blazer, which she styled over a black-and-white polka dot dress from Brandon Maxwell, reminded people of Melania Trump's arguably most infamous outfit.
In case you need a refresher, in June 2018, the former first lady insensitively wore a Zara jacket [2] with the words "I Really Don't Care, Do U?" written in enormous white letters on the back on her surprise trip to Texas visiting facilities that house detained immigrant children. A far cry from that questionable choice, people wondered whether Jill Biden's "LOVE" blazer was throwing shade at Melania's similarly designed jacket.

When asked by Jennifer Jacobs, a White House reporter for Bloomberg News, what the jacket symbolized [4], the first lady said, "Well, I think that we're bringing love from America." She continued, "I think that this is a global conference, and we're trying to bring unity across the globe, and I think that's important right now, that you have a sense of unity." Jill's message was loud and clear. Ahead, get a closer look at the first lady's embellished jacket.
