Nancy Pelosi's Coat

We here at Capitol Hill Fashion could have an entire sister website dedicated solely to Nancy Pelosi. She’s a fashion icon in DC and has been shaking things up for years.

While we have mad appreciation for all her sartorial choices, none commands more respect than her scarlet Max Mara coat. We think of it as the big sister to Lauren Underhill’s green coat. It is The Coat That Set The Internet On Fire (official title) after her meeting with Donald Trump in December 2018. You know the one.

This coat, known as the “Fire Coat” launched a thousand memes…

…and inspired a thousand fan art renderings.

CHF is happy to inform you that the wool and cashmere coat is back in stock at Max Mara and could be yours. If you want to buy one for us too (hint hint), leave a comment!

Vernoica Escobar, newly elected to represent the people of El Paso, TX in the US House of Representatives, looks fabulous in this picture.
