Donald Trump's State of the Union on February 24 was packed with a myriad of exaggerated claims — and fashion fails.

Barron Trump
Donald Trump delivered his 2026 State of the Union Address on February 24.
Donald Trump's youngest child, Barron Trump, was unapologetically unique when he attended the president's State of the Union.
For the February 24 big night, Barron paraded his knight-in-shining-armor aesthetic but stood alone in a sweeping black coat that skewed closer to The Matrix casting call.
Donald Trump Jr.
The president's speech lasted one hour and 47 minutes.
Forget the dapper look: Donald Trump Jr. shrugged off the political pageantry as he opted for oddly tailored trousers and a casually unbuttoned coat that nearly swallowed his frame.
Ivanka Trump
The 2026 SOTU became Donald Trump's longest State of the Union address ever.
Wearing a dress that The Daily Beast's Cameron Adams likened to the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, Ivanka Trump had a rare misstep with a look that proved less than flattering.
As her dresses have often made headlines for the wrong reasons, Ivanka's SOTU fit missed the elegance she seemed to be striving for.
Kristi Noem
Donald Trump's family members were in attendance.
Kristi Noem looked somber as an ICE Barbie in an all-black pantsuit — falling short of what would have been a standout bespoke moment. By bypassing contrast entirely, it rendered her number muted and one-dimensional.

Lindsey Graham
Several media outlets moved to fact-check Donald Trump's claims in his speech.
It was a full production for Senator Lindsey Graham, whose tie boasted a patriotic palette that veered dangerously close to fast-food branding. Still, props to his blazer and shirt, which played it safe despite the surprisingly busy detail.
Mike Johnson
Several attendees also made headlines for their head-turning looks.
Like most attendees, Mike Johnson's tie failed to elevate his classic and sharp ensemble — a safe but entirely forgettable fashion choice for Donald's big night.
Pam Bondi
He repeatedly blamed the U.S.' problems on Democrats throughout the address.
Pam Bondi extended her already lengthy fashion misfires with her SOTU outfit, which consisted of a bland, neutral-toned get-up. Good thing her delicate accessories provided a fashion detour and effective amp-up that kept the look afloat.
Thomas Massie
Donald Trump held 60 percent disapproval rating before the SOTU.
So much for minimalism. While most attendees' looks disrupted the balance, U.S. Representative Thomas Massie embraced professor-core vibe with a visually busy attire as he layered a white collared dress shirt beneath a dark vest and a structured coat.
Don't forget his tie with a tonal paisley pattern that failed to harmonize with the rest of the ensemble — though his beard indeed gave him serious John Wick energy.
