First Lady Jill Biden Attends Former President Jimmy Carter’s Funeral Wearing Dior J’Adior Slingback Heels
Jill Biden attended former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral held today in Washington D.C. at the National Cathedral. Accompanied by her husband President Joe Biden, the pair mourned the loss of the 39th President of the United States in a well-attended ceremony.
The educator wore simple black and white slingback pumps hailing from Dior. Retailing for around $1,050 via the brand’s website, the J’Adior slingback pumps featured jet-black uppers made of either glossy patent leather or plush technical fabric. Sharp pointed toes gave way to thick and sturdy slingback heels fixed delicately with two-tone embroidered J’Adior ribbon embellished with flat bows. 4-inch stiletto heels finished off the set.
The First Lady’s pick can be shopped via Dior’s official website, along with second-hand websites like Poshmark. Jill isn’t the only notable fan of Dior’s slingback style. Kate Middleton is also a big fan of the bow-laden silhouette. In fact, she’s been spotted wearing the style on numerous occasions both formal and relaxed. Dior’s J’Adior slingback comes in a slew of prints, heel heights and compositions.
Aptly mourning for the somber occasion, Jill also wore an all-black suiting-inspired ensemble featuring a midi-length pencil skirt and a matching blazer with ornate gold button closures.
When it comes to footwear, Jill’s choices are classic and chic. The first lady frequently favors pointed-toe pumps in nude and black tones from brands including Dior, Valentino and Stuart Weitzman. Oftentimes, Jill color coordinates her footwear with her ensemble for the day.
President Joe Biden declared today a national day of mourning for Carter, the 39th President of the United States, who died at the age of 100 on Dec. 29, 2024, at his home in Plains, Georgia. Notable attendees included Donald J. Trump, Barack Obama, Melania Trump and members of the Carter family. The funeral took place at the historic National Cathedral today, Jan. 9, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
