Jill Biden May Have Re-Worn Her Lemon Print Dress As a Tribute to Meghan Markle's New Baby
Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex and First Lady Jill Biden gave us a sneak peek at this summer's most adorable fashion trend: lemon print. Both women sported Oscar de la Renta dresses featuring lemons on a robin's egg blue background, with Biden opting for a short-sleeved, belted version and the Duchess choosing a sleeveless, drop waist iteration. To quote the iconic Saturday Night Live sketch, "Canadian Entertainment Show," "Sometimes two famous ladies wear the same dress, so let's do a segment we like to call: They Both Look Nice!"
More recently, the First Lady re-wore her Oscar frock in an appearance with Dr. Anthony Fauci on Live with Kelly and Ryan. Biden chose the dress on the day after Meghan announced the birth of her daughter, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, leading some royal-watchers to believe this re-wear is a silent tribute to the newest member of the royal family.
Either way, both the First Lady and the Duchess are clearly adding lemon print into their summer wardrobes, and it might be time for us to, as well. Lemons have often been a summer staple, conjuring images of Italian mosaics and hand-painted plates. Now, as we enter summer 2021, follow the lead of the Duchess and First Lady and opt for this zesty print. Whether or not you want to splurge on an Oscar de la Renta dress, there are plenty of ways to dip your toe into lemon print. Below, we've compiled some of our favorite lemon-adorned clothes and accessories.
