For the occasion, the first lady wore a red Brandon Maxwell midi dress. The style included short sleeves and a flounced skirt. Biden belted the dress with a large red buckled belt, creating a monochrome effect. Her look was elegantly accessorized with a sparkling pendant necklace, drop earrings and a silver watch. The first lady’s look followed her penchant for re-wearing pieces in her closet, as she previously wore the same dress for a Christmas interview and a visit to Chicago’s National Museum of Mexican Art last year.

In fact, the dress was also re-worn this year as well when being honored as the sponsor for the Navy’s submarine USS Delaware in April.

When it came to shoes, Biden donned a pair of pointed-toe pumps. The style featured stiletto heels totaling at least 3 inches in height, as well as navy blue suede uppers that smoothly contrasted her dress. The pair gave Biden’s outfit a dose of patriotic color when paired with her white Team USA parka, creating a thematic look that was both witty and sharp.

Pointed-toe pumps have emerged as a shoe style that instantly sharpens any outfit. The style’s popularity is owed to their triangular toes, as well as their typical daring stiletto heels. Aside from Biden, stars like Gwen Stefani, Sarah Jessica Parker and Paris Hilton have also worn pairs by Christian Louboutin, Isabel Marant and Aquazzura in recent weeks.

For footwear, Biden’s choices are classic and sharp. The first lady regularly wears versatile heels and boots in nude, black and even embellished tones from Manolo Blahnik, Valentino and Stuart Weitzman. Jewel-toned and metallic pointed-toe pumps are also a go-to for her brighter ensembles, from labels like SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker, Prada and Jimmy Choo. In warmer months, she can also be seen in espadrille wedge sandals by Loeffler Randall.

DBRS "more on alert" to U.S. fiscal profile after Republican sweep
A Republican sweep in the U.S. elections puts rating agency Morningstar DBRS “more on alert” regarding the country’s fiscal accounts, managing director for global sovereign ratings Nichola James told Reuters on Thursday. Republicans' lock on power in Washington next year will allow President-elect Donald Trump to pursue an aggressive agenda of tax cuts for businesses, workers and retirees that will test his party's often-aired goal of reining in the government's $35 trillion in debt. U.S. Treasury yields have risen on expectations that Trump's policies will add further pressure to an already elevated U.S. budget deficit and stoke inflation.
