Going into the office Christmas party, there’s always going to be one person who shows a little too much skin and someone who drinks a little too much, and in this case, Karoline Leavitt falls into the former category.
In 2020, Leavitt attended the White House Christmas party in a figure-hugging sparkly tank dress with a plunging neckline. And while it may be considered a little flashy for the White House, it’s kind of like, why not?
Leavitt was 23 years old at the time, was just promoted to assistant press secretary, and it seems like she was in the mood to celebrate. It comes as Karoline shares an unedited snap of her husband amid speculation around their 32-year age gap.

Glam magazine is describing the dress as inappropriate and a look that will always haunt her, but really, that’s what your 20s are for, and actually, Leavitt is still in her 20s — she’s just in such a high-profile position that sometimes people forget.
The dress is perfectly suitable — it’s that Leavitt fills the dress out, so people find it shocking. If a woman who was flat-chested wore the same dress, it would not be a big deal whatsoever. Kerri Russell, who stars in The Diplomat, wore a very similar dress in the second season, and nobody blinked twice.

Leavitt, who is now 28 and the White House press secretary, dresses the part, wearing suits and matching skirts and sweater sets, but no matter what, people are going to be critical.
In addition to her clothing, people are now attacking her looks, suggesting she had lip injections.
It seems like people are attacking her looks because they don’t agree with her politics, but those are two different things.
In a more recent post, Leavitt shared a behind-the-scenes photo before an interview on the White House lawn.
She was all glammed out, with her hair done and wearing a sophisticated blouse, but fans weren’t having it.
One user wrote: “Turns out this is not what you really look like lol.”
A second user shared: “Ohh karoline, did vanity fair hurt your feelings? going for an ego boost, trying to save face?”
A third user chimed in: “You’re so disappointing.”
It makes us think of Prince Harry when he said, “You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t.”
