Jill Biden Rewears Queen Elizabeth II’s Schiaparelli Funeral Look for Jimmy Carter’s State Service

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden attended the State Funeral Service for former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday in Washington, D.C. The president and First Lady of the United States were joined by several domestic and international dignitaries for the somber occasion.

For the occasion, Jill Biden rewore the custom Schiaparelli black suit that she debuted during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in June 2022. Her outfit featured a black skirt suit with statement buttons running down the front placket of her jacket in shades of white and gold, a contrast to the black fabric of her attire.
