Handmaid red dress on her first day.

Appropriate for the occasion.

I was quite appalled at this fashion choice she made. Definitely sent a message.

She is hot, dresses well.
Get used to her; for life.

I completely disagree with her. And I think the cuts of the dresses could gave been more fitted. That said, I don’t think wearing a dress to a confirmation hearing is unprofessional. I’m tired of mimicking men in the workplace. Dresses are feminine and we can wear them and achieve at the same time. I think this might be the only statement I could ever write in her defense.

They’re too casual. She does act like she has this in the bag.

DP. Obama often chose specific designers as a statement so you're maybe not making the argument you think you're making.

Choosing a designer as a statement is different than intending to make a statement with a piece of clothing itself.

Yesssssssssssssssss!!!!

Well it's better to be a bottled blonde than a bottled brunette if you're spending the same amount of money no?

i like the dress. I think for a Senate confirmation hearing to a Article III judgeship, you wear a suit. I'm a lawyer. My female judge had a very strict "suits in chambers" rule, so I admit I am a traditionalist. But I would not wear a dress like this to Court or to a Senate hearing of this nature.

I think a "business" dress is totally appropriate for a hearing, and I am also quite traditional and a lawyer. I think she made a good choice.

+1. I used to be on Senate Committee staff and I think it was completely appropriate.

And apparently falls for the internet trolls who photoshopped the color of the dress. It wasn’t red, it was magenta.

The Senators above seem to have a uniform, at least for hearings — the wool blazer and silk blouse. Serious, professional, boring. No surprises there. Barrett only wore that on the third day, and even then with more style — but maybe a little less “professional” (aka boring).

It is very common for women Senators to wear dresses similar to the nominee’s, especially the better-dressed ones.

Hot? Really? 🙄

Am I the only one who thought the Day 1 hot pink dress was a little too lurid for the occasion? To me, that's something you wear after you've got the job, not on the interview.

She needs to invest in some Spanx. Seriously.
