Nancy Pelosi wins gold at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in a floral dress – WWD

Nancy Pelosi arrived at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party in Los Angeles on Sunday and took a sustainable approach to dressing.

In honor of this year’s after-party celebration honoring this year’s nominees, the congresswoman and former speaker of the House of Representatives wore a long-sleeved, crew-necked, gold-tone sequin floral design by Giambattista Valli. She coordinated the look with gold-tone pointed pumps.

In her sustainability efforts, Pelosi’s dress will be re-worn at President Biden’s State Dinner at the White House in November. The dinner honored French President Emmanuel Macron and marked the first state dinner of the Biden presidency.

Pelosi is known as a historian for becoming the first woman to be named Speaker of the US House of Representatives when she was elected to the post by the Democratic-majority faction in 2006. Prior to Vice President Kamala Harris’ election in 2020, Pelosi was the highest-ranking woman in the history of the presidential secession line. Pelosi served as Speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023.

As a longtime congresswoman, Pelosi has become known not only for her legislative record but also for her fashion choices. When Pelosi left the White House in a red Max Mara coat after meeting Donald Trump in 2018, the moment went viral and the brand relaunched the coat. Pelosi is also known for her lavender Manolo Blahnik pumps, which she pairs with purple suits.

The annual Oscars after-party, hosted by Vanity Fair, celebrates the end of the awards season as well as the winners of the 2023 Academy Awards. The event features a red carpet at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, hosted by YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg. The carpet is one of the star-studded events of the year, with 2,023 guests including Olivia Wilde, Julia Garner, Nancy Pelosi and Sarah Paulson.
