[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Jill Biden, wife of U.S. President Joe Biden, will grace the cover of Vogue's August issue.


According to the New York Times (NYT) and others on the 29th (local time), the Vogue cover features Mrs. Biden posing on the White House Truman Balcony wearing a dress by South American designer Oscar de la Renta. The magazine will be available for sale starting July 20.


In the interview, she said the national atmosphere has changed since President Biden's inauguration. Mrs. Biden emphasized, "During the election, I felt anxiety from the people, but now it seems like we can breathe again." She also described her husband as a "calmer president" compared to former President Donald Trump.


She also expressed surprise at how the public pays attention to every detail of her fashion. Mrs. Biden said, "I was surprised by how much is said about what I wear or tying my hair with a scrunchie, and how much people focus on every little detail."


Traditionally, U.S. First Ladies have appeared on the cover of Vogue. However, Melania Trump, wife of former President Trump who was a former model, was an exception.



Anna Wintour, Vogue's editor-in-chief known as a fervent supporter of Hillary Clinton, said in 2019 during the Trump administration, when asked "Why doesn't Melania appear on Vogue's cover?" that "Vogue believes it is important to support women who lead change in this country."
