Well, folks, it seems even former first ladies can’t resist a good Black Friday deal, as Jill Biden was caught browsing a high-end lingerie shop in Nantucket during the Biden family’s annual Thanksgiving getaway.
The New York Post reported that during their traditional holiday trip to the Massachusetts island, Jill Biden made a solo morning stop at Ladybird Lingerie, joined the family for a hearty lunch, and later took part in the festive lighting of Nantucket’s Christmas display alongside her husband, former President Joe Biden, and other relatives.
On Black Friday, Jill stepped into Ladybird Lingerie, a charming boutique in Nantucket’s historic district known for offering garments that are, as their description goes, pleasing to both the eye and the wearer.
Clad in a striking purple coat, scarf, and shades, she looked every bit the stylish shopper, though one wonders if such flair is necessary for a quick pop into a lingerie store.
Her security detail trailed close behind as she exited, a reminder of the ever-present bubble that surrounds political figures, even during personal errands. Interestingly, Joe Biden was nowhere in sight during this particular outing, leaving Jill to navigate the boutique’s offerings on her own terms.
After her shopping stint, Jill rejoined the family, including Joe and their son Hunter, for a midday meal at the Brotherhood of Thieves restaurant, a cozy spot in town.
Post-lunch, she headed back to the luxurious $34 million Nantucket compound owned by billionaire David Rubenstein, where the Bidens have celebrated Thanksgiving for the past four years.
Meanwhile, Joe and Hunter kept the day rolling with some downtown browsing of their own, even grabbing milkshakes, proving that even political dynasties enjoy the simple pleasures.
Later that evening, the Biden clan reunited for a heartwarming moment at the switching on of Nantucket’s Christmas lights, a tradition that seems to anchor their holiday visits.
Natalie Biden, the eldest daughter of Joe’s late son Beau, was spotted holding tight to her grandfather’s arm during the event, a tender image amidst the chilly night air.
Joe, who recently underwent radiation treatment for aggressive prostate cancer, braved the cold in a bomber jacket and gloves, showing resilience as he joined in the festive cheer.
While the Bidens’ Nantucket tradition paints a picture of family unity and holiday spirit, it’s worth noting the stark contrast with the political noise back on the mainland, where President Trump has been vocal about undoing Joe’s legacy with claims of repealing autopen-signed documents.
Trump’s additional threat to pursue perjury charges if Joe claims staffers acted under his direction with the mechanical pen adds a sharp edge to an otherwise quaint holiday story, reminding us that even family getaways can’t escape the shadow of political battles.
Yet, setting aside the Beltway drama, there’s something relatable about the Bidens carving out time for tradition in Nantucket, even if one might question the optics of a former first lady’s lingerie run amidst a culture increasingly obsessed with progressive posturing over personal privacy.
