Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, is showcasing a refreshed look just weeks after she welcomed her second child, and onlookers are taking notice.
Leavitt, now 28, resumed her duties in late June following the birth of her daughter, Vivian, on May 1. She and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, 61, also share a 2-year-old son named Niko.
Her return to work came with a full schedule, featuring Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair, his UFC Fight Night at the White House, media appearances, and midterm campaign stops.
One might figure the New Hampshire native hasn’t had a moment to unwind. Yet even a routine work function can turn into a date-night moment for members of the beleaguered administration.
Trump’s reimagined White House Correspondents’ Dinner was just that for Leavitt and her husband.

The gala took place at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C., on July 24, three months after an intruder abruptly interrupted the original dinner in April.
The working mom wore a light-blue jumpsuit with a pant-like silhouette, paired with a long-sleeved, sheer, knitted floral top. Riccio wore a black tuxedo and a matching bow tie for the occasion.
Leavitt posted highlights from the evening in an Instagram carousel. The first image captured her in a poised portrait, head held high, one hand placed over her heart, with a subtle smile.
The second shot offered a candid moment of her and Trump sharing smiles with the audience. The third image halted social media scrolling.
