Several media outlets criticized Melania Trump’s fashion choice in 2017 when she left to go visit victims of a hurricane, however the same media outlets neglected to mention First Lady Jill Biden’s similar fashion choice during her post-Hurricane Ian Florida visit on Wednesday. Both President Biden and his wife were photographed leaving for Florida to meet with Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., about ongoing recovery efforts following the Category 4 hurricane hitting the state.
One detail some noticed in both Jill Biden’s departure and arrival photo was her choice to wear heels while visiting. Though journalists promoted the photos of the First Lady, none referenced her heels in their reports on the Bidens’ visit, which appeared to be a stark departure from their treatment of former First Lady Melania Trump.

The Washington Post also attacked the former First Lady’s wardrobe claiming she "offered up a fashion moment instead of an expression of empathy." Reports later noted that Melania Trump removed her high heels and changed to a pair of sneakers after arriving in Texas.
