From black boots to pastels: How Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni’s style mirrors her politics

Giorgia Meloni’s fashion has changed as dramatically as her politics. Italy’s prime minister, who entered office in 2022 as a combative right-wing outsider, now increasingly projects the image of a pragmatic and confident European leader through pastel suits, wide-legged trousers and softer silhouettes.

When Meloni became Italy’s prime minister in October 2022, she was often seen in dark suits and chunky black boots — a look that reflected her roots in Italy’s conservative right-wing politics. Nearly four years later, her wardrobe has become noticeably more polished and understated.

Accoring to The Associated Press (AP), fashion and political image experts say Meloni’s shift from dark clothing to pastel and neutral colours is part of a broader transformation in how she presents herself on the world stage.
