Dr. Jill Biden wore a pair of black fishnet tights, and the Internet got its pantyhose in a twist. Or at least that’s the story in a nutshell.
Disembarking Air Force One in Maryland earlier this month, Dr. Biden, 69, wore black platform boots, a flared skirt that hit just above the knee (it was barely a mini as the Twittersphere claimed) and a pair of black tights which the Twitter trolls were positively outraged to note looked a little like fishnets.
Said tights, as Biden’s champions were quick to point out, were in fact of a floral pattern, but really that’s not the point.
The ensemble, despite being head-to-toe black and generally fairly unassuming (and particularly so in comparison to her FLOTUS predecessor) earned Dr. Biden accusations of being “trashy” “ and “an embarrassment,” with several comparing her outfit to Halloween costume, and one even accusing her of looking like Madonna’s mother, despite Biden only being seven years older than the Queen of Pop.
