Hope Hicks wears a tuxedo to Japan state dinner

At the state dinner Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe gave the visiting President Trump Monday night, White House communications director Hope Hicks ditched her usual dress for a tuxedo and bow tie.

Twitter users had some thoughts on Hicks’ suave style.

It was a sharp, very au courant look for the 29-year-old fashion plate, who generally favors feminine floral frocks. Stylish women are embracing the tux — and the less-formal pantsuit — as a dressy alternative to the ballgown.

“Westworld” actress Evan Rachel Wood, who’s shunned dresses for her red-carpet appearances, stunned in a white tuxedo by Jeremy Scott at the 2017 Emmys in September, while brands such as Gucci and Altuzarra, which designs many of Wood’s suits, have increased their three-piece options for women.
