The pink suit was not a costume choice simply to “write” well for the cameras.
Nancy Pelosi may have arrived in Taiwan at night, but her arrival was staged in such a way that it was completely visible and clear.
Stepping down the steps of the plane that took her to Taipei, the speaker of the US House of Representatives glowed in the dark in the pink suit she chose to wear. In a sea of ​​black and gray suits, Pelosi’s outfit sent the message that she can’t be understated.
And as CNN notes, it wasn’t a clothing choice just to “write” well for the cameras.
The Pelosi’s controversial trip to Taiwan it is, in itself, symbolic. And if her goal is to signal America’s support for a “vibrant” – like the pink color of her suit – democracy, then the outfit was the message.
According to CNN, Pelosi did not change clothes during the flight.
Earlier in the day, she had worn the same suit with heels and a string of pearls to visit the Malaysian parliament. This reinforces the view that the selection was not random.
Exuding confidence, power but not menace, the pink appeared to frame her presence as an act of friendship to Taiwan rather than hostility to China, which accused her of “knowingly and maliciously” creating a crisis.
Another element debated by commentators in the US is the fact that Pelosi supported an earlier stylistic choice of Hillary Clinton.
In 1995, the then first lady wore a strikingly similar outfit to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.
At the time he had declared: “Women’s rights are human rights” and had impliedly criticized China for its attitude towards women.
Pelosi rarely answers questions about her stylistic style choices. But there’s no denying that he often takes advantage of the power that clothes exude.
Very often she prefers pink shades, which symbolize and exude feminine power.
