White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made waves on March 31, 2025, when she wore a striking ankle-length green dress with a knee-high slit during a press briefing on the White House North Lawn. Paired with brown heels, her outfit quickly sparked heated reactions online.
Social media users didn’t hold back, with comments like “She’s stuffed in that dress” and “I think your dress is on backward?” Others bluntly said the dress didn’t fit her, while some suggested she needed a stylist. A few sympathized, joking about not fitting into old clothes. One Instagram user humorously remarked, “Married a billionaire & still can’t get clothes that fit her correctly.”
Beyond fashion, Leavitt opened up about her personal life in a February 2025 interview on The Megyn Kelly Show. She discussed the 32-year age gap between her and her husband, Nicholas Riccio. Now 27, she met Riccio, 59, during her congressional campaign. Despite their difference, she called him her biggest supporter and best friend. The couple shares a child, and she praised Riccio’s devotion as a father.
Leavitt also shared cherished wedding memories on Instagram from their celebration at Wentworth By The Sea Country Club in New Hampshire, featuring white roses and intimate moments, including Riccio kissing her cheek.
On July 10, 2024, the couple welcomed their son, Nicholas Robert (Niko). Leavitt called it “the best moment of my life.” Fans noticed Niko’s resemblance to his father, delighting with comments about his cuteness.
Despite the online criticism, Leavitt continues to focus on her family and career, balancing public scrutiny with personal joy.
