On Tuesday, the first lady continued her blue style streak to honor the upcoming National World War I Memorial at a ceremony held in the East Room of the White House.

Jill Biden has a penchant for shades of blue. She notably wore an ocean blue Markarian dress at her husband’s Inauguration Day ceremony in 2021 and a blue Ralph Lauren suit to the Coronation of King Charles III in London in 2023.

Most recently, the first lady was seen in a sapphire ombré Art Nouveau crystal embroidered gown from Oscar de la Renta at the White House state dinner for Japan on April 10. For the White House 2024 Easter Egg Roll on April 1, she chose a shock pink coat and a matching dress.
