Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped back into the spotlight at the 2026 Republican midterm convention in Dallas, where she also turned heads with her polished look.
Leavitt appeared at the two-day Republican convention on Thursday, September 10, wearing a dark pantsuit consisting of a buttoned blazer and matching wide-leg trousers. She paired the outfit with white pointed-toe pumps and accessorized with small gold hoop earrings.
The mom of two wore her blonde hair in a side-parted, layered style and kept her makeup polished for the event.

Photos of Leavitt’s appearance quickly drew attention online, with some commenters focusing on her outfit and appearance.
“The United States needs more women like you,” one person wrote on Instagram.
“You’re so pretty! God bless your beautiful family,” another commenter said.
“Doing good! Looking good!” a third person added.
Karoline also returned to a familiar setting during the convention when she took the stage behind a podium. Her appearance followed a highlight reel featuring some of her confrontations with reporters during her time in the White House briefing room.
“It feels good to be back behind a podium,” Leavitt told the crowd. “It feels much better speaking to a stadium full of patriots than a briefing room full of journalists.”

Karoline Gives Speech At GOP Convention
Leavitt left her White House press secretary position in August 2026 following the birth of her second child and later joined Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc. She returned to the podium at the convention as part of the event’s programming.
During her speech, she also urged attendees to support Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections.
“President Trump only has two more years of being the leader of our great nation, and God bless him,” she said. “But he needs your support to vote for Republicans up and down the ballot so he can continue his efforts to make America great again.”
The Republican midterm convention was held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on September 9 and 10, marking the first national Republican convention specifically held ahead of a midterm election.
The 29-year-old previously said she was leaving her position as White House Press Secretary to spend more time with her family following the birth of her second child in May. With her departure, attention has turned to who will eventually take over the press secretary role.
