Inappropriate Outfits Sarah Huckabee Sanders Was Caught Wearing

Though Sarah Huckabee Sanders has made history with her political career, she's still struggling with a bit of a learning curve when it comes to knowing how to dress the part. It can be hard to balance being a mom with an accomplished career, but as Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee Sanders is expected to be seen regularly by the public. Of course now that Huckabee Sanders has undergone a stunning weight loss transformation, finding clothes to fit her new form has proven to be a bit more challenging than she possibly expected.

There's been several times Huckabee Sanders has missed the mark with her outfits, but often her foibles boil down to misunderstanding the assignment. Seemingly caught struggling between wanting to appear professional and laid back at the same time, Huckabee Sanders has found herself wearing several outfits that have felt over the top or underdressed for the specific occasion. From wearing a too-short skirt to a sporting event to donning a leather dress to tour a men's prison facility, here are some examples of Huckabee Sanders wearing outfits that were inappropriate for their occasions.

To commemorate the lifting of COVID lockdown restrictions, Sarah Huckabee Sanders posted to Instagram that, "Kids are back to school in Wynne, Arkansas!" While the governor can be seen smiling and high-fiving students, she is looking just a bit underdressed for the occasion. The sweater dress does look incredibly comfortable, but combining it with sneakers dresses it down while also feeling at odds with her straightened hair. Had she put her hair up, Huckabee Sanders might have appeared like a fellow working mom doing drop-off. But here, she looks like she's trying to appear casual, which ultimately doesn't work. 

When musician Jelly Roll came to visit Arkansas, he made a pit stop to a men's penitentiary in Little Rock, according to an Instagram post from Sarah Huckabee Sanders. While the tour of the prison was a heartwarming moment for all parties involved, Huckabee Sanders once again wore a leather dress that not even Kimberly Guilfoyle would touch to the occasion. 

The short, black dress is cinched at the waist, but doing so causes the leather to pucker and appear cheaply made. While it's more a dress for a concert than a jailhouse, it still lacks luster and feels incongruent to what her husband Bryan Sanders was wearing. 

Sarah Huckabee Sanders welcomed "some of golf's legends ... at the Governor's Mansion," according to her Instagram, but according to her outfit, she was keeping it overly casual. Her white top is a strange mix of business casual and sportswear, with the popped collar being overly distracting. Plus, the blue shorts with the wonky belt and scalloped hemline give her a childish appearance. Every part of her outfit seems to be moving in opposite directions, which might not have been the best way to welcome Stewart Cink. 

While Sarah Huckabee Sanders hasn't been shy about showing off her killer legs, the skirt and shorts combo she wore at the Hoops for Kids' Sake Charity Basketball Tournament were ultimately a little too short. The first photo in her Instagram carousel of images is dangerously close to being NSFW, with the viewer not being able to tell if they're shorts or a skirt. Even though her outfit might have worked on the court, when sitting down, Huckabee Sanders revealed just a bit too much skin.

In an Instagram post honoring basketball star Scottie Pippen's visit to the Arkansas State Capitol, Sarah Huckabee Sanders once again wore a leather look that was a total fashion fail. The cinched waist with tie tassels gives the impression of sweatpants, which would be much too casual to wear to work, much less for meeting NBA royalty. Plus, the leather looks cheap and sweaty — not the most comfortable or elegant option for the occasion.

Seen in the above Instagram snap introducing Ivanka Trump to the state of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is spotted wearing a wrinkled and casually short blue dress. Unsure if it's denim or cotton, the fabric looks difficult to wrangle and leaves Huckabee Sanders looking disheveled, especially when standing next to the crisp and structured blazer of the first daughter. 

What's even more bewildering is that Huckabee Sanders wears this dress often. In yet another awkward photo of Huckabee Sanders and President Donald Trump, the Governor of Arkansas was spotted wearing the same wrinkled blue outfit to a trip to the White House in June of 2025, according to her Instagram. It might be time to invest in a better iron, or perhaps retire this look altogether.
