Is Margo Martin the “New Karoline Leavitt”? Style Similarities Between Two Women Close to Donald Trump
Margo Martin has become one of the most recognizable behind-the-scenes figures in Donald Trump’s White House communications operation, and renewed attention surrounding her has prompted comparisons with former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Although Martin and Leavitt occupy different positions within the administration, their public appearances have increasingly drawn attention for another reason: fashion.
From tailored beige suits and black-and-white outfits to red dresses, burgundy evening looks and polished formalwear, Margo Martin and Karoline Leavitt have repeatedly appeared in similar color palettes and silhouettes. Their fashion choices have led some social media users and online commentators to describe Martin as the “new Karoline Leavitt.”
The comparison, however, extends only so far.
Leavitt became one of the most visible public representatives of the Trump administration through her role at the White House press podium. Martin, by contrast, has largely operated behind the scenes as a communications adviser and special assistant to the president, with a particular focus on documenting Trump’s daily activities and producing social media content.
Their careers, public responsibilities and positions are therefore different. Yet their increasingly visible presence around Trump, combined with similarities in their clothing choices, has made Margo Martin and Karoline Leavitt a recurring topic of interest in fashion and political-media coverage.
