Gwen Walz opted for classic political style for the vice presidential debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and United States Senator J.D. Vance. The debate was the first and only between the two vice presidential candidates, who faced off at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City on Tuesday.
For the occasion, Gwen Walz opted for a coordinated skirt suit look in a shade of blue. The tweed set featured a pencil skirt and complementary jacket, with gold buttons running down the front placket and situated on the pockets as well. Walz coordinated with a flowing blouse in a similar tone.
Along with her skirt suit, Walz took a cue from Democratic presidential candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris when it came to her accessories. Walz wore strings of pearl necklaces to accessorize her debate ensemble.
