Karoline Leavitt has embraced her love of the color pink once again, as the White House press secretary donned a bright pink dress and heels during a press conference
Sporting a style that channels “Barbie” chic, Karoline Leavitt captivated the audience while speaking to the press.
At the White House on Monday, June 23, 2025, in Washington D. C., the youngest ever White House press secretary addressed journalists, touching briefly on the U.S. strike on Iran and its diplomatic ripples. Decked out in a pink tweed number with side buttons and vibrant pink pumps, Karoline embodied Barbie elegance perfect down to her sleekly styled hair with a middle part.
The toy giant Mattel famously adopted the iconic pink hue for its Barbie brand’s packaging, booklets, and logos back in the mid-60s. Known as “Barbie Pink” (Pantone 219c), this color is even trademarked by the multinational toy company.

While approaching the microphone, bombarded with inquiries about the American action in Iran, questions came flying in, reports the Irish Star.
A reporter pressed: “When the president is floating the idea of regime change, how does he believe that should be accomplished through the Iranians, the Israelis, or the Americans?”.
Karoline Leavitt confidently responded, explaining: “The presidents posture and our military posture has not changed. The president was just simply raising a question that I think many people around the world are asking. If the Iranian regime refuses to give up their nuclear program or engage in talks. We just took out their nuclear program on Saturday night, as you all know, but if they refuse to engage in diplomacy moving forward, why shouldn’t the Iranian people ruse up against this brutal terrorist regime?”
She added, “That’s a question the president raised last night. As far as our military posture, it hasn’t changed.”
US forces struck three targets on Saturday, June 21, in what the president described as a “successful” operation. The United States carried out significant airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, with the president further stating that the sites were “obliterated” and issued a warning of additional strikes if Iran does not pursue peace.
Named “Operation Midnight Hammer,” the offensive saw over 125 aircraft and numerous precision-guided munitions targeting the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities.
Pentagon representatives reported extensive damage to the targeted locations but did not confirm the total elimination of Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
In a national address flanked by vice president JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio, and defense secretary Pete Hesgeth, Trump declared: “Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.”
Following the DHS’s warnings about potential terror threats, New York City remains on heightened alert.
