Jill Biden wore a chic blue dress coat to greet Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, alongside President Joe Biden on Wednesday in Washington on the White House South Lawn.
The Bidens made sartorial signs of solidarity with Ukraine by choosing variations of blue, nodding to the blue and yellow colors of the country’s flag. The U.S. president sported both colors.
