Donald Trump ally Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has become known for her scandals, including being booted from a musical for inappropriate behavior, but a writer on Sunday drew attention to her outfits that have similarly caused a stir.
Boebert "likes to play with fashion and doesn't dress like your typical congresswoman," according to Kate Prince, who writes about lifestyle and entertainment issues for The List.
"Sometimes, her outfit selection has been intentionally controversial and designed to capture headlines and stir the pot, but that's not always the case. Boebert has been caught out a few times wearing a look that is miles away from what others would deem appropriate for the occasion," Prince wrote. "Even high-profile stars like Howard Stern have made it clear what they think of Boebert's attire, and though it could be said that any publicity is good publicity, there may be better ways to capture attention as a female politician."

Among the outfits highlighted by Prince is the time she "wore high heels to a construction site."
"In May 2023, Lauren Boebert wore a knee-length sleeveless blue dress and towering high heels to visit a construction site, which left many scratching their heads," Prince wrote. "It's interesting to note that all of the men Boebert was photographed with were wearing far more appropriate attire, such as work boots, jeans, and hats to shield themselves from the weather. Yes, it can't be denied that outfit options in this scenario are slightly easier for men, but we've seen Boebert sporting jeans and a t-shirt before, so why did she opt for such a fancy get-up?"
Another outfit of Boebert's that caught Prince's attention was when the lawmaker "wore knock-off Trump merch."
"Boebert made an embarrassing confession in June 2024 when she was seen wearing a white MAGA hat with Trump's signature on it as well as a pair of bright gold sneakers to a primary election party where she celebrated her win," the article states. "Trump had previously sold a limited-edition wave of the shoes, but Boebert didn't get her hands on them. Instead, she sported fakes."
According to Prince, Boebert on an another occasion "wore a dangerous far-right slogan."
"In 2023, she posted a video on Instagram of herself at the Demolition Derby. Not only did the pink rust bucket she drove have '1776' prominently spray painted on both sides, but she also wore a black long-sleeved t-shirt with the number on the front in big white lettering," Prince wrote. "At one point, she stood on top of her vehicle in the middle of the event field and lifted her arms up into the air, proudly displaying her shirt for all to see. There's nothing quite like endorsing unconstitutional riots, apparently."
