DeSantis, a former TV journalist, has been known to wear outfits similar in style to former first ladies like Kennedy and Melania Trump.
At her husband's inauguration in 2019, DeSantis wore a light blue collared coat from Ted Baker. This was reminiscent of a Ralph Lauren outfit Melania Trump wore to her husband's presidential inauguration on January 20, 2017.
These fashion choices from Casey DeSantis come as her family rises in prominence within the Republican Party.
