How Much Does Pelosi Pay To Have Her Makeup Done

While President Trump refuses to mask upwardly in front of cameras, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is using facial coverings as a tool for personal and political expression.

At the ceremonial swearing in of Representative-elect Kweisi Mfume on May 5, she wore a cotton processed-hued pantsuit and matching mask. One calendar week after, she pushed the $3 trillion COVID-19 relief package through the House in a blood-red-print mask paired with a magenta jacket. During last week'southward press briefing celebrating the anniversary of House passage of the 19th amendment, her color blocked mask perfectly complimented the cerulean sweater draped over her shoulders.

Instagram stan accounts documenting Pelosi's outfits dubbed her a fashion "icon." Fashion critics likewise praised her bold looks, including Vanessa Friedman of The New York Times, who wrote that "no other elected official has embraced the mask with as much relentless and considered eye-catching range." Even Hillary Clinton bequeathed her title of Pantsuit Queen to Pelosi in an Instagram post: "Leader of the House majority, and of mask-to-pantsuit color coordination."

Pelosi'due south many matching masks and scarves are a gentle reminder that clothing can even so spark joy during night times. She buys almost everything from Donna Lewis, a small-scale boutique in Alexandria, Virginia, that's pop with women on the Hill. When I called the store, owner Chris Lewis told me they've sold two,000 masks and then far and have 2,000 more than order requests. Their website has crashed five times.

"It's the Nancy-effect," Lewis said. "She wears it, and we sell out. The demand is crazy."

A transplanted New Yorker, Lewis describes his high-finish business named subsequently his married woman as "a classic Italian type-of store, very chichi." The two-story store carries more often than not European brands, and is tucked into a picturesque courtyard with ivy-walls.

Their masks are non-medical and made of up-cycled fabric sourced from Venice and Naples. For each ane purchased, Lewis donates one to Johns Hopkins Hospital, which is accepting PPE supplies.

They're hand-sewn past in-firm tailors, and take one-half an hour each to complete. The masks are $22, and take cotton linings and elastic holders. They come in dozens of colors and patterns, including palm trees and flowers. The soon-to-debut summer line (some of which volition be gear up aside for Pelosi) features masks in yellow and red and green Hawaiian prints.

Lewis said that Pelosi has been shopping at his store for 20 years. He serves her espresso while she pokes around—often with her girlfriends—and picks out pantsuits and accessories.

"It's a swell grouping of ladies that similar to come in," he said. "They sit effectually and catch upwards and buy whatever. Secret service [accompanies her] to keep things at bay if [other shoppers] desire pictures, or whatever."

Just last week she came by to pick up another half-dozen masks. "I remember our classic cuts and workmanship set us apart from other mask makers," Lewis said. "Nancy's really drawn to that."

Never earlier has a piece of fabric this tiny taken on such importance in politics. But now that masks are the message of the pandemic, Pelosi's sartorial selects have become a statement of purpose.

"I would hope that the president and the vice president would wear a mask. They don't wear a mask. Why not? … They should ready an example," she said during a contempo press briefing. "They... have doctors around them all the fourth dimension to administer to their various needs. But everybody else does non have that."
