Jill Biden Dressed in Full Team USA Uniform to Watch the Tokyo Olympic Games


Dr. Jill Biden is just another member of Team USA!

On Saturday, July 24, the First Lady traded in the polka dot dress she wore to the Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics for full-on Team USA garb. Though the 2021 Olympics are mostly closed to spectators, the world leader was once again seated near French President Emmanuel Macron as she cheered on the 3×3 basketball team. Biden also attended the day’s swimming event and hosted a watch party at the U.S. Embassy for the Team USA-Mexico softball game, per People.

But let’s get back to this fit. While attending the events, Biden was decked out in the official Team USA ensemble designed by the iconic American designer Ralph Lauren. She also brought back her “Jill Biden” mask that she wore the previous day.

Biden was also seen jumping up and celebrating when Team USA defeated France 17-0 in 3×3 basketball. Sorry, Macron. 

Shortly after, she was pictured congratulating the team. “We walked over at the end and we just said, ‘Yo, thank you so much …’ Not ‘Yo.’ We wouldn’t … ‘Thank you so much for coming,'” Team USA basketball player Kelsey Plum said, per USA Today. “Hopefully she enjoyed it and she said she was just really proud of us. So I think that we won her over a little bit.”

Not bad for Biden’s first solo trip abroad as the First Lady. She and President Joe Biden recently opened up to Vogue about how travel impacts their marriage. “I miss her,” the president said. “I’m really proud of her. But it’s not like we can just go off like we used to. When we were living in Delaware and married, once a month we’d just go up to a local bed-and-breakfast by ourselves, to make sure we had a romantic time to just get away and hang out with each other.” 

“And the other thing is, she’s been traveling all over the country,” the president continued. “And doing major events for me…and for the country. And so I’ll find that I’m working on a hell of an important speech and I’m distracted. And then I may not be working on one and I want to go and hang out with her, and she’s working on an important speech! Or grading papers. We have to figure out a way—and I mean this sincerely—to be able to steal time for one another. I think that’s the deal.”
