PHOTOS: All the bipartisan fashion highs & lows from last night’s State of the Union

Joe Biden

Dark Brandon is in the House!

President Joe Biden pulled out all the stops in one of the most rousing State of the Union speeches ever.

With Sleepy Joe nowhere to be found, Biden didn’t mince words during a bombastic and powerful 66-minute takedown of the disgraced ex-president, who he only referred to as his predecessor and never by name. Brilliant!

Biden came in hot and quickly addressed the urgency of supporting Ukraine, the ongoing threats to democracy stemming from the Jan. 6 insurrection, and standing for reproductive rights.

And while Republicans continue to question Biden’s mental fitness, the 81-year-old wasn’t afraid to address his age and showed off his quick wit by going off script on multiple occasions. In addition to clapping back at Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s outbursts, Biden tangled with Republicans for sinking his bipartisan border deal on Trump’s command.

As far as the LGBTQ+ community, he kept it brief but continued to show his unwavering support.

“I want to protect fundamental rights. Pass The Equality Act,” he noted. “And my message to transgender Americans: I have your back.”

The rambunctiousness of the night even permeated the styles choices seen inside the Capitol. From over-the-top MAGA clown costumes to understated designer ensembles, many of the Congress elite took the opportunity to show off their fashion finery… with varying degrees of success.

With no fake tanner, hair dye or 91 felony charges, JB kept it presidential in a completely sane navy suit, white shirt and patterned blue tie. In lieu of cult members, he accessorized his patriotic fit with a three-point fold pocket square and an American flag pin. Democracy is in this season!

Vice President Kamala Harris

In the words of Latrice Royale: Good God Get a Grip Girl! MTG models the latest from Gap QAnon. This lewk goes from an Insurrection in the day to a KKK rally at night. It’s so wrong it’s far-right.

The embattled MAGA princess attempted an image makeover from her lewd past by donning a demure Democrat blue dress and wearing her hair up. But the reverse She’s All That makeover fooled no one. On the plus side, as long as she stays next to Santos it’s a safe bet she won’t get handsy reaching across the aisle!

The Alabama Republican senator donned Gilead green for her HGTV acting reel GOP rebuttal that was giving Real Housewives of Stepford confessional video. If she’s voted out, she’ll have a bright future on a third tier Bravo series. Blessed be the fruit.
