Nancy Pelosi arrived at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar after-party on Sunday in Los Angeles, taking a sustainable approach to dressing.
In honor of this year’s after-party celebration honoring this year’s nominees, the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House of Representatives wore a gold sequin floral patterned long-sleeve dress with a round neckline by Giambattista Valli. She coordinated the look with gold-tone pointed-toe pumps.
In her efforts toward sustainability, Pelosi’s dress is re-worn from President Biden’s White House State Dinner in November. The dinner honored French president Emmanuel Macron and marked the first state dinner of the Biden presidency.
