The image of Nancy Pelosi leaving the White House after her epic smackdown of Trump, looking like the badass epitome of cool that she is, in sunglasses and the same coat she wore to Obama’s inauguration, has become a viral meme so popular and iconic that the designer who designed her coat will be reissuing it:
She then emerged from the White House, slipped on her sunglasses and strode to the awaiting media, her rust-colored coat's stand-up collar buttoned high, just below her chin….
In fact, such a ruckus was caused over the popularity of Pelosi's coat that the designer has decided to reinstate it…..A re-issue is a rarity in fashion, and typically occurs with iconic pieces...
Pelosi also wore the coat to Obama's second inauguration ceremony in 2013, but it was wearing it in and out of her fiery Oval Office meeting with Trump on Tuesday that this time made it go viral, launching
dozens of memes, and
even a New York Times think piece by Vanessa Friedman.
And how symbolically powerful that it’s the same coat she wore to Obama’s last inauguration, which she attended while leading House Democrats just as she is doing now and will continue to do next term.
